The biggest city in Western Australia and for many hundreds of miles around, Perth has established a great reputation for being laid-back and cosmopolitan. Western Australia’s main airport is also in Perth and that means an inordinately high number of hotels to choose from when making your trip.
Luckily we decided to help make that choice a little easier for you. Judging each place on a number of categories such as price, location and amenities on offer, we have chucked out plenty of options to settle on these five places, which we think are the best overall value in Perth.
THE NEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL
From A$146/ night
With a great location in the heart of the city, The Nest is never too far from any of the main sights and attractions of the city. The rooms are all en-suite and air conditioned. Each one contains a safe, refrigerator and coffee machine. The rooftop has a lovely garden terrace with commanding views out over the city skyline. The modern rooms also have an iPod dock.
LAKESIDE BED AND BREAKFAST

Breakfast is, naturally, included in the price.
COMO BED AND BREAKFAST
From A$146/ night
Having received rave reviews Como tends to be in high demand. The breakfast seems to be one of the biggest draws.

Most rooms have a city view and some of them also have a balcony.
BOUTIQUE 28

Situated in Redcliffe approximately 3.5 miles away from the city centre is Boutique 28, a good value alternative to the higher prices in the centre.
