Alex Hotel 50 James Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000

"This hotel offers a perfect place to rest your head after a big night out in North Bridge. But the breakfast is a complete letdown. As for the rooms, no tea or coffee making facilities and no fridge. Value for money, definitely not. Just being honest."

"The carpet in the hotel room could benefit from more thorough cleaning. Additionally, I noticed that one of the towels had a stain. I also observed some small moths flying around the room. The AC fan was quite noisy, which was very bothersome. In terms of breakfast, the variety offered was limited. On a positive note, the hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful."

"I wanted to let it go but the hotel specifically asked me to write a review of the stay. The hotel itself is fine, rooms are a bit small, but nothing too bad. They are clean too. However, there's a club just opposite the hotel which does wild and loud parties with live music in its garden. The music is extremely loud. The hotel obviously knows about it and provides earplugs. They do not help, the bass from the speakers (which are directed at the hotel) is making the bed shake. You cannot escape it. One of the guest told me in a lift "it was like having my ear pressed to the club's speaker" and it really was. So, it's a great hotel if you don't mind the fact that you cannot actually sleep. I checked out early, first time in my life, and switched to a different hotel (Quay - similar room prices, much nicer and on the waterfront). Fun trivia: during the check in I was told I shouldn't worry about loud birds that were heard at the reception area because I won't hear them in the room. I didn't know the person who checked me in meant "because you will only hear loud music" but now I kind of appreciate the dark joke (after I've already spent a peaceful night at Quay)."

"Fabulous boutique hotel in Perth CBD. Mid range prices but worth every $. We liked it so much we stayed there twice. The bed was super comfy and the shower was powerful with lots of hot water. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. The home-made granola, I know granola! was tasty and filling, the artisan fruit bread was delicious and the vegamite & cheese cruffins were off the scale. Free tea & coffee are available all day and the staff go above and beyond to help you. They all look like they enjoy working there. Well done the Alex team, you rock."

"In the heart of the CBD, quite a rowdy area when the night rolls round but rooms are quite sound proof. Included breakfast on the mezzanine was amazing and a perfect day starter. Rooms are quite small but perfect for a short trip. Great price, great hotel."
