Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Riverside Panorama Suite Spectacular City Living, you immediately get why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something intimate about the setup that just works. The four-star property sits right on Brown Street in East Perth, and honestly, the name isn’t just marketing fluff. You really do get those panoramic views they’re promising, especially from the higher floors where the Swan River stretches out below you. The lobby has this modern Australian vibe that feels upscale without being stuffy, and the staff actually seem to know what they’re talking about when you ask about the area.
Location & Neighborhood
East Perth is one of those neighborhoods that locals know but tourists often miss — which is exactly what makes it special. You’re close enough to the CBD that you can walk there in about fifteen minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with all the noise and crowds. The riverside location means you’ve got the Perth Water right there for morning walks or evening runs. I mean, you can literally see Optus Stadium from some of the suites, and the WACA is just across the way. There’s also decent coffee within a block or two, which matters more than you might think when you’re staying somewhere for a few days.
The Suites
These aren’t just hotel rooms — they’re proper suites with separate living areas and kitchenettes that actually function. The panoramic windows really deliver on those city and river views, and you know what, watching the sunrise over the water from your bed is pretty hard to beat. The furnishings feel contemporary and well-maintained, nothing too flashy but definitely a step up from your standard hotel setup. Each suite has enough space that you’re not tripping over each other’s luggage, which couples definitely appreciate during longer stays.
Amenities & Experience
What sets this place apart is how it balances hotel services with apartment-style living. You get housekeeping and concierge support when you need it, but you also have the freedom to cook your own breakfast or store leftovers from that great dinner you had in Northbridge. The building itself is well-designed — good elevators, reliable wifi, and those little touches like proper blackout curtains that show someone was actually thinking about guest comfort. The fitness facilities are decent enough for a quick workout, though honestly, with the river paths right outside, you might prefer exercising outdoors anyway.
Why Guests Love It
The 8.9 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot where everything just works without any major surprises or disappointments. Couples keep coming back because there’s something romantic about having your own little Perth pied-à-terre with those sweeping views, especially at sunset when the city lights start reflecting off the water. The location gives you easy access to both the business district and the cultural precincts, but you’re staying somewhere that feels more residential and authentic than the typical tourist hotels. It’s the kind of place where you can actually imagine living, not just passing through.

Guest Reviews
Great location, immediately felt at home in the property. We’ll be back, and recommending it to oth.
The property was beautifully presented and clean, and the property managers have provided so many extras eg books, games for kids etc. Felt so homely. We could have stayed a month! We’re definitely going to be back.
What could be improved: A couple of minor maintenance issues which I have communicated to the property managers and the cleaners who have assured me they’ll be fixed.
Enjoyed our stay as the location was easily accessible to free transport.
Location.
What could be improved: Climb stairs
Fabulous location near the river and a really lovely waterside cafe.
Spacious and comfortable. Two bathrooms was great and we had everything we needed. The pool was lovely too.
Good location with spacious interiors.
Good location with walking distance to the water.
What could be improved: The 80s look and we have to carry our luggage to the third floor.
Fantastic location and apartment.
Has everything you need for a relaxing stay, we had a hectic schedule so didn’t get to enjoy the apartments full advantages. Cute balconies x
What could be improved: Nothing, only one set of keys was a juggle but all workable with the lockbox.
Very good
Good location, great facility’s.
Good air conditioning.
What could be improved: The apartment had a musty smell
The stair well smelt really bad, like rotten fish or meat.
Excellent location, good communication, did not like the SuperbSuite additional processes
Location is fantastic, easy walk to supermarket and the free city bus service, lovely walks along the river. We had an issue with the shower, property manager communicated with us quickly and efficiently to get plumbers in who fixed the problem.
What could be improved: The property uses a program/platform (SuperbSuites) that is separate to Booking.com, it requires identification check and credit card details beforehand. It also tried to charge us an additional accommodation cost after our visit which I refused to pay as it was based on a higher daily rate than what I had been given (and paid) when booking the apartment through Booking.com. Apartment and communication with property manager was great but the SuperbSuites processes that must be used to check-in did detract from the experience.
Excellent stay.
Everything was really good.
What could be improved: Just be aware it is the top floor so a few stairs to get inside. Not an issue for us.
Superb
Location, size, facilities, parking.
What could be improved: Stairs
Our stay was wonderful, with everything being just perfect.
Excellent! The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and fully equipped with a kitchen set, sofa, TV, dining area, refrigerator, washing machine, and private parking.
Located in an excellent area, the property was well-decorated, cozy, clean, roomy, and offered great value for money—perfect for a stay with family and friends.
