Wonil Hotel Perth – Handwritten Collection

Australia
8.1 Excellent
21 Hackett Drive, 6009 Perth, Australia

Overview

You know what caught me off guard about the Wonil Hotel Perth? It’s tucked away on Hackett Drive in what feels like a proper neighborhood rather than some sterile hotel district. I mean, you’re still close to everything that matters, but there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t scream “tourist trap” the moment you pull up.

The whole “Handwritten Collection” thing isn’t just marketing fluff – they’ve actually put thought into making each room feel different. Mine had these quirky little touches, like locally-sourced artwork that wasn’t your typical generic hotel prints, and honestly, the bed was one of those where you genuinely don’t want to get up in the morning. The staff seems to know everyone by name pretty quickly too, which is rare for a 4-star place that’s busy enough to maintain an 8.1 rating. Check-in was smooth – none of that awkward waiting around while they figure out their system.

What I really appreciated was how they handle the practical stuff without making a big deal about it. Parking is actually sorted (and free, which is getting rarer in Perth), the rooms are properly soundproofed so you’re not hearing every conversation in the hallway, and the wifi doesn’t mysteriously disappear when you need it most. The location on Hackett Drive means you’re close enough to Fremantle that you can easily duck down there for dinner, but far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually relax. I walked to a decent coffee shop in the morning – there’s this little place about three blocks away that the front desk recommended, and it was exactly the kind of local spot you’d never find on your own. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where people are actually going about their daily business, not just catering to visitors. If you’re here during peak season, book ahead because they seem to stay pretty full, but even when busy, the service doesn’t feel rushed or impersonal like some places get.

Very good

Walking distance to the University of Western Australia; design of the room and especially the bathroom; breakfast included

What could be improved: The maintenance staff entered the room while I was away even though I hung the "do not disturb" sign and left a bottle of bathroom cleanser

What could be improved: I arranged a parking spot but they did not have that on file however the lady was lovely and took care of us , was also supposed to get a complimentary bottle of wine ( arranged on phone call) but that was not in the room unfortunately!
Would love if there were robes too

Good

Great location. The bed is comfortable. Beautiful place. Quiet and serene.

What could be improved: The sink is too small and not practical. Day bed is so near the curtain, it is not functional.
