Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough
The hotel was clean, rooms are modern and there are plenty of amenities. It is slightly soulless but we were only here for one night.

Rydges Perth Kings Square
The room was clean, new and well equipped. Front desk took a bit to answer their phone, called multiple times until they picked it. I guess because they are a smaller establishment and not they many staff.

Tribe Perth Kings Park
The room was far too small. Could hardly get around the Queen bed. No room service available on Sunday . Not good value considering there are no facilities other than a lift…. Much like an airport hotel. Disappointing!
