In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
There are around 211 rooms here, and reviewers describe them as spotless and up to date. Each comes with a flat-screen TV, air-con, a work desk and an en-suite bathroom, in layouts that run from standard rooms up to suites. The look is modern and uncluttered rather than plush — this is a value 4-star, and the rooms put function first. Sitting in the middle of the shopping precinct, a few rooms catch some street noise, so it is worth asking for a higher floor if that matters to you.
Food and amenities
The thing that sets Holiday Inn apart from a couple of the other 4-stars on this list is a guest swimming pool — reviewers say a dip after a day of walking and shopping does the trick. There is a gym too, plus an on-site restaurant and bar, room service and a 24-hour front desk. For work trips, there is meeting space on hand, and stays earn IHG One Rewards points.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits on Hay Street in the heart of the CBD shopping precinct. One thing to flag up front: Trip.com now lists it as Holiday Inn PERTH CITY CENTRE by IHG — that is just the IHG brand tag added, not a new hotel. Step out the door and you are on the pedestrian mall. It is about a 4-minute walk to Hay Street Mall and the nearby Murray Street Mall, and roughly 7-8 minutes to Perth train station — you can sightsee and shop without touching a car. Real guests rate it 9.2/10 across 171 reviews, which says a lot about the value.
Things to know before booking
Parking costs extra rather than being folded into the rate. The rooms are functional and plain over plush, so if you want a design hotel this is not it. And because it sits right in the shopping precinct, some rooms pick up street noise — request a higher floor if you are a light sleeper. It is also a high-scoring, popular hotel, so rooms fill up fast; book ahead.
Our take
Holiday Inn Perth City Centre is at its best for couples, families and business travelers who want solid value in the middle of the shopping precinct. If you care more about a walk-everywhere location, a pool and a high guest score than about high-end polish, this is the easy call at #5.
