For $99, the hotel wasn't too bad.
When we arrived, I can't say the receptionist was very friendly but she did book a taxi for us.
I did have a problem with there being no lift. The stairs are quite steep and narrow so it was difficult to lug our gear upstairs. We were told that there were no vacancies downstairs.
The bathroom was tiny and water went everywhere, annoying because you can't move the showerhead. The towels were really small [that's saying something for someone who's only 5" tall]. Also we had a problem with the cold water tap falling apart too.
We didn't notice any bad smells like other guests have noticed
Our sheets were clean and the bed was really comfy.
The vending machine was appreciated for a warm beverage at the wee hours of the morning when we left for the airport.
There was internet available on a few computers in the lobby.
I thought the reception hours were really strange but the auto-check-in machine is a good idea - it should be noted that you must have a credit card to use this facility, and the list of people checking in late is a bit hard to see on the door.
Also, when I inquired about payment, I was told it had already been deducted from my CC, however I was not offered a tax invoice.

Regretted staying here for AUD99. Should have stayed at Criterion Hotel Perth and go directly to the Airport at 430am. No lift in the hotel and I had to carry 2 luggages (12.5kg each) up to 1st floor myself. Travelling with my daughter (8yrs old) and no one to help with luggages. Terrible location. Had to wave for taxi at the roadside at 430am eventhough hotel staff promised to book it when I checked in. No staff on duty at the reception. Had to catch 650am flight so thought moving to an ariport hotel is more convenient but it still took us 15 minutes to get to internationl airport from here. Worst thing is not many taxi drivers wants to come here, fare too low.

There is little hotel choice at Perth Airport. Arrived at midnight and had a connecting flight at 7am. Pre-booked and the automated check in was smooth. All formule 1 hotels are pretty much the same- basic and no frills.

Paid $99 for a room which I thought was overpriced for what you get. The room is worth about $50. The hotel is not walking distance to the airport and you need to either hire a car or catch a taxi. We chose to hire a car as we thought we might have trouble getting a taxi that is willing to take us for the short distance. The hotel is located on a major road and it is noisy.

This hotel is not great but it is clean and provides an affordable airport accommodation solution. I wouldn't rule out never going back to this hotel but I think I might try other hotels in the area on my next visit.

My Wife and I stayed here last week.
I must say that the hotel is basic but very clean.
The room was small but in good repair. The staff and management did a great job answering our questions and even booked us our transfers to the airport. I would recommend this place to all wishing to have stop over in Perth. Up to half the price of most of the accommodation in Perth.
Good Job

Avoid this place like the plague......sperm stained bedsheets, vending machines crashing away all night, fried rice left in my supposedly newly made bed, grotesquely uncivil staff and incompetent management with equally ghastly food.
The worst hotel I have ever stayed in ? Quite possibly.
Go somewhere else if you need to be near the airport where you feel your $$$ are actually appreciated.
By the way...don't arrive after 10pm as you will be confronted with an Alcatraz like scenario trying to access this dump.
