Review of ibis Styles East Perth Hotel in Australia.

The family-friendly and budget ibis Styles features colorful and comfortable rooms in east Perth.

ibis Styles East Perth – Fashionable, peaceful, great value, and family-friendly.

The lobby area, with its vibrant colors, funky furniture, and scrolling TV screens, is indicative of the trendy design and décor throughout. All rooms are compact and there’s no pool, but the very competitive rates reflect these factors. Maximum possible windows add to the feeling of space and light throughout, and views from the rooms are appealing. Children under twelve can stay and eat for free, and the twin bunk beds squeezed into double rooms are excellent for budget-conscious families. The ibis is serenely located close to the mighty Swan River which is lined with gardens and a cycling path, and is also walkable to the city’s two major sporting arenas.

ibis Styles East Perth – The Location

Address: 69 Adelaide Terrace, East Perth, on the corner with Plain Street. In a suburb immediately east of the city center.
Area: Quiet, suburban area surrounded by parks. The hotel is about 300m from the river and 1.5 km by free bus from the city center.
How to Get There: Confusingly, there are 4 terminals across the separate (but nearby) international (15 km) and domestic (11 km) airports. The only options for door-to-door travel are shuttle buses by Perth City Shuttle or Just Transfers and taxis for about A$50. (See ‘Local Transport’ below for more information about taxis and ride-shares.) Also, express public buses (45-60 minutes) #380 (for Terminals 1 and 2) and #40 (for Terminals 3 and 4) stop across the road from the Hyatt Regency Hotel along Adelaide Terrace from the ibis (150m). Free shuttle buses operate 24/7 between the 2 airports. Note: Always double-check which terminal the flight arrives at/departs from.
Nearest Transport: Bus – Adelaide Tce Before Plain St (100m), Train – McIver (1.5 km).
Handy to: WACA Cricket Ground. Optus Stadium (for sports and events). The Perth Mint.

ibis Styles East Perth – Rooms

Room Types: Standard Rooms • Superior Rooms • Deluxe Rooms • Family Rooms • List of all Rooms

Best Room: Most rooms are the same size and feature an identical décor, but the Deluxe Rooms on a higher floor offer superior views of the river and are more distant from the road below.
For Families: The special Family Rooms feature double beds and twin bunk beds. They are the same size as the other rooms and are, therefore, very compact, but also great value. Otherwise, book connecting rooms. Children under 12 can stay and eat for free.

ibis Styles East Perth – Local Transport

Walking & Cycling: With flat and shady streets, minimal traffic, and plenty of parks, the area is wonderful for walking. East Perth is also part of the fabulous 27km-long Perth Discoverer cycling trail that meanders along the foreshore of the nearby Swan River, around the edges of the city center, and through the massive Kings Park in West Perth. Bicycles (including electric ones and three-wheelers) can be rented through About Bike Hire in a riverside park nearby (800m), or the shared-bike company Spinway from outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel (100m).
Buses & Trains: The excellent public transport system includes the free Red CAT bus service that links East Perth with the city center. Stop #29 is only one block north of the hotel (250m). Otherwise, any bus heading west along Adelaide Terrace stops in downtown Perth as part of the free inner-city transit zone.
Taxis & Ride-shares: There are plenty of taxis along the city streets, or organize a pick-up through the 2 major companies: Swan Taxis (phone 131330) and Black & White Cabs (phone 133222). Ride-shares are also available through Uber, Ola, and DiDi.
