I stayed at Somerset for all my three business trips to Perth. Well located, with almost all Oil and Gas companies on the same street. Good access to restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and eateries. Woolworths is just a 5 min walk away. The rates seemed to be slightly higher for the services they offered (but it was on my Company's... More

This hotel is terrible and should be investigated by the relevant authorities. The rooms on the hotel website look nothing like the rooms in the hotel, in reality they are dark and dingy and are very poorly maintained. The first room i had (prior to demanding a move) had a broken shower, missing plug, dirty carpet, broken TV, broken lights,... More

This hotel advertises itself as four star and refuses to refund for prepaid nights when its subterfuge is exposed. It is decrpit and dirty and its staff are unhelpful. And it has NO PARKING! in a city in which car transport is essential. It is also extremely overpriced.

The bad. 1. Room 805 - curtains are torn and very stained. Hotel should make an effort to fix this issue before their proposed renovations. Would be a small price to pay to improve the only view of the outside a guest gets to see from the room. 2. Archaic television - good museum piece to bring back memories of... More

Stayed at the Somerset on a weekday evening for one night. Checked in late and departed early in the morning. Service was friendly, but low on frills. My room on the 7th floor was neat and clean, linen was fresh, bed was firm etc. Judging by the decor, it had not been renovated in at least 20 years. No bathroom... More

Not even the great location can save this place I'm afraid. I was warned not to stay here and I should have listened. The rooms are called 'suites' which is a joke, they're much closer to a university dorm room. The bed was hard as a rock, the TV should be in a museum - have you heard of flat... More

This hotel was our first night on our Australian vacation. I booked it as a mystery hotel on whatif. The mystery is: how did it get a 4 star rating?
