Comfort Hotel Perth City

Rooms and decor

The hotel offers a range of rooms, from standard up to family sizes, which makes it workable for a couple or for a family sharing on a budget. The ones we'd expect here are plain but clean, and every room comes with air-con, a flat-screen TV, a fridge, tea and coffee gear and an en-suite. This is a budget property, so the look is functional rather than designed — you're paying for a tidy, comfortable room at the lowest price on this list, not for styling. Cleanliness is the strong note here, scoring above the rooms themselves in guest feedback.

Food and amenities

The part that makes Comfort Hotel genuinely good value is the outdoor pool — a budget hotel with a pool isn't easy to find, and reviews say a dip after a day of walking is a welcome reset. There's also an on-site restaurant and cafe serving breakfast, a reception desk, a tour and ticket booking service that's handy for sorting day trips, and Wi-Fi. It's a basic but practical spread that matches what this place is: a low-cost base that still covers the essentials.

Location and getting there

Comfort Hotel Perth City sits on Hay Street in East Perth, close to the Swan River and the convention centre. From here it's about a 6-7 minute walk to the Swan River foreshore, with the convention centre and stadium nearby. East Perth runs quieter than the heart of the CBD, which suits a relaxed base — but reaching the Hay Street Mall shops means a ride into town, roughly 8-10 minutes by car.

Things to know before booking

A few honest catches. It's in East Perth, away from the Hay Street Mall shops, so you'll want a car or a ride to reach the CBD retail strip. The facilities are basic rather than upscale — there's no spa or executive lounge here. And the rooms are plainly styled, built for function over flair. Parking is on site but subject to space, so it's worth arriving early or checking ahead if you're driving. None of that is a surprise at this price, but it's worth knowing if you expect more polish.

Our take

Comfort Hotel Perth City is best for budget travelers and families keeping costs down. If you want a clean room, an outdoor pool and parking on site at the lightest price on this list — and you're fine catching a ride into the shopping district — this is the close we'd recommend, backed by an 8.4 score from 196 reviews and rates from around $96 a night.
