No Shortage Of Perth Accommodation Options

Perth, Western Australia, is a capital city unlike any other. It has a vast urban sprawl, with a relatively small population, which gives it a unique laid-back ambience. Residents are very relaxed and their life has a comfortable pace about it. Visitors are quickly seduced into its groove. Perth surrounds the stunning Kings Park reserve on the Swan River, and has a huge range of Perth accommodation available including backpackers, serviced apartments and 5 star hotels. It is also well worth looking for good deals and checking reviews before booking.

The city center itself is very small compared to most capital cities, and public transport within the CBD is free. There are also great shuttle buses that run every few minutes. Most shopping and city sites are within walking distance from each other, and there is ample accommodation dotted right throughout the city centre.

Just outside the main buzz of the city, there are a number of serviced apartments that are fully contained, and also have great views of the river. Free parking is offered at most serviced apartments, so it is worth considering a hire car, particularly for travel outside of the CBD area. Taxicab services tend to be pricey, and public transport can be very slow.

Globally renowned hotels with 5 star ratings are scattered all over the CBD area, and they are all exceptionally overpriced and outdated verging on tacky. They tend to be used for school proms and large weddings, and could be worth booking if there is a worthwhile deal available on the web. There are lots of excellent 4 star places that tend to have much newer amenities, and offer great service as well.

For those who are financially conscious, 3 star hotels and budget lodgings are also readily available throughout the area. The standards are all generally very reasonable, with clean no-nonsense rooms, and no unnecessary extras. They still offer great access to city sites, without breaking the budget.

If backpacker accommodation is more suited to the budget, Perth has dozens that are suited to budget travelers and students alike. YHA cards can be used at most backpacker lodgings. There are also several backpacker places in Northbridge, which is just over the railway bridge from the city. Some backpackers are long established, and boast a great support network that can help with job searches and advice for second language speakers. Many also run their own budget tours, and have plenty of information about the area.

As mentioned before, it is always a great idea to look on the web for last minute deals and discounts. This is especially true for places to stay in Perth. It can get quite expensive if direct bookings are made.

Who knew that such a small city could provide such a broad range of accommodation to suit any budget? Perth accommodation makes the city convenient and readily accessible, which is why tourists will come back again and again. Be conscious, however, of accommodation that may be listed as more than 15 minutes away from Perth City, as a hire car may cost less than accumulated taxicab fares.
