Unhappy Staying in Northbridge, Perth

Hello Everybody,

We will be on a short visit to Perth & I have booked a Room for us in All Seasons Hotel, 15 Robinson Avenue, Northbridge.

Can someone please tell me if its OK to stay with a Family (2 yr old son) and us, in this Hotel.

I have heard this place is very noisy in the night & lots of druggies around.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks & regards,

Well, Northbridge is one of the night spots available in Perth, the busiest and worst to be honest.
Plenty of retaurants about, but people generally go to Northbridge for a good piss up.
Of course there is trouble there, as it's where people go to get drunk. Just stay indoors at night, it's no place for a 2 year old.
My OH goes quite alot and has a good night. He just keeps out of trouble.

I have stayed there 3 times (12 nights total) over the last 8-10 weeks. The hotel itself is fine...to be critical the only problems is that the rooms are not that well sound insulated and some only have a roof light rather than a window. I have not had any problems with noisy guests or anything like that. Its a well run modern hotel operated by Accor Hotels (same as Ibis, Mercure, etc).

Breakfast is pretty good and there is a free pretty secure car park underneath the hotel.

Northbridge itself is full of mainly Asian cafes, restaraunts and shops and a bit of muslim too. I have never had any concerns about walking outside teh hotel at night.

I'm sure that you will find it quite alright.

Hi Ya

Worked in Northbridge for 1 year. No problems during the day... the odd drunk, but you get them in every city.

Night time came be very busy and there can be trouble (so I read) but have been out many times on a Friday/Saturday and never had a problem.

There is a free bus service with runs around the CBD and the Blue 'CAT' services Northbridge. Just jump on and jump as you like, no ticket required.

Hi Archie

Just wondered if it was a reliable source that told you about the noise and the druggies in Northbridge?

If so why would you choose to stay there?

My wife and i often go for a drink or a meal there but wouldn't dream of staying. There are far more family friendly places to stay in & around Perth. IMO

Good luck

I stayed there when I first came to Perth. It's fine. It's on the edge of Northbridge - about a 10min walk from all the nightlife. It's on a fairly quiet street. There is a great Thai restaurant on the corner btw - and a good internet cafe is across the road.

I recommend Miss Maud Hotel in Murray Street. Also the buffet is very good.
