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.

  • Handy to: WACA Cricket Ground. Optus Stadium (for sports and events). The Perth Mint.
