I'm looking for hotel or B&B accommodation near Perth Airport that preferably have a shuttle service and restaurants on-site and would appreciate recommendations based on recent experience.

Have checked out the Comfort Inn Bel Eyr and Como B&B.

Are we better off to stay in the city where there is more choice rather than at an airport hotel?

Thanks,


Pol

Hi Treepol -

Hotel operated shuttles in Perth are a bit hard to come by, but there is an airport shuttle service that serves most CBD hotels.

Based on my experience, hotels near the airport are noisy and sub-par. The CBD isn't that far from the airport and offers more and better options.

Another option is South Perth, which is just a short hop via ferry from the CBD.

I agree with melnq8 that a CBD hotel makes sense. We ask the hotel desk the day before to arrange a cab and have never had a problem with it arriving and getting us to the airport on time. Sorry, can't remember how much it costs, but worth it to me to avoid the anxious wait for a shuttle.

We stayed at the Comfort Inn Bel Ayr last year. It was just a one-nighter between late afternoon and early morning flights. The place was just ok for the purpose. The room was basic, as was the restaurant, but the shuttle ran on time.

Thanks for the advice - we'll try the Comfort Inn Bel Ayr on the way out and stay in the city after our inbound flight.


Regards,


Pol.
