It was ok, but missed the mark. I usually try and be positive but this place markets itself as a chic inner city stay, the reality is it feels kind of cheap and is abit grubby. The quilt wasn’t in a cover and was foul and stained and the horrible industrial grade carpet had really weird stains too. Appreciate that the noise and arrests happening outside aren’t the properties fault but it all added up to a weird stay.

After a flight from Auckland to Perth, then a seamless transition into the train to the city, followed by a short walk from the railway station we were warmly welcomed to the Alex and checked in to our room for two nights en route to a cruise from Fremantle. We enjoyed the comfy bed and small hotel vibe and found the location perfect. A glass of free bubbles on our second night was appreciated (due to Silver Status) and also the bottles of locally filtered ice cold water to take to our room. Bar and reception staff were friendly. I’d recommend this to others.

I stayed for work, wanting to be near the train station to commute to Crown for a convention and attend meetings in the CBD and UWA precinct.

Alex Hotel had been recommended by friends, and this was indeed a good location, clean with helpful and very friendly staff. I had been put off previously by the room rates, but it was low season and there was a discount through Expedia this time.

However this is not for a business traveller and certainly not a place that I feel like I would stay if I was on holiday (except for maybe one night en route to somewhere else). Room was very basic (no chair, desk), iron/ironing boards were shared for each floor, complimentary tea/coffee was available but on Level 1. I understand breakfast at a home is expensive, but this seemed steep. In all, these things I can live with.

The major issue was the noise. I understand that this is in Northbridge and I know what this place is about (I had a uni job at The Deen nightclub nearby). Bass from Universal Bar persisted well after midnight. The clubs are not going anywhere, but I did expect noise-proofing, and not having to rely on complimentary ear plugs. I had a \"Slumber\" room, and I am fairly certain the noise was not disclosed as an issue.

I don't think I can justify the room rate, even with the discount. Stay here if you're keen for a big night out with your mates, but its not exactly a romantic getaway or suitable as a place to base yourself for extended business trips.

I stay at the Alex whenever I'm in Perth. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Comfortable, feels like home. Comfortable room. Wonderful common area to work in. Incredibly helpful and warm staff. 'Industrial Organic' vibe just feels so good.

Small cautions: As a business traveler, I like a small room, but be aware they are small. The smallest rooms don't have closets. Breakfast is continental only - no protein, and while there are gluten free options, they are minimal. To me that doesn't matter because there are a million great places for brekkie nearby.

These are incredibly minor tradeoffs for an otherwise ideal place to stay.

I know the desired \"vibe\" is that of a cozy, quaint accommodation, but I would rather have less cozy and more comfort and convenience. There's no mini fridge, and our room had only one chair. There was only a bar along the wall to hang clothes. The bathroom was quite large. I'd rather have less bathroom and more room. An upgrade was suggested at check-in for a room with a balcony, but as I saw from the outside, the balconies were tiny and IMO not worth the extra $. I have stayed in many hotels and motels, and I have never been charged for a continental breakfast. For $20+, the charge seemed way out of line - especially for such a limited selection.
Having said all that, I really liked the sitting/lounge area. The access to a variety of complimentary beverages was much appreciated.
The staff were very pleasant, and the location is very convenient for transportation and eats. It's a short walk to the CBD. As much as it seems I have complained, we did enjoy our stay. Still though, it wouldn't take much to make it an exceptional hotel. Make the rooms more accommodating - add a chair. Add a minifridge. Put in an armoire. Provide a complimentary continental breakfast. Really... those are little things that would make a big difference.

Staff were great … amenities not so much. We didn’t get the upgrade that we were supposed to as rewards members, but they tried to upsell us on an upgrade which we declined. Then we found out that there are no fridges in the rooms only a communal fridge which for the middle of Perth seems a little strange. Finally on getting to the room…. Let’s just say that you shouldn’t share the room with anyone that you aren’t intimately acquainted with because the toilet door is literally a piece of glass. There is no separation between bathroom and room except for that glass.

Overall, it’s a decent stay but I’m not sure we will be back.

One tiny thing - as I travelled from NZ, adjusting to the timezone took a bit of doing, but the hotel's central location definitely helped me make the most of my days.

The uniqueness of this modern boutique hotel has its own characters.

It is not easy for me in the first few hours trying to figure where the basic appliances located such as kettle and ironing equipment, but once you get used to the hotel’s system, it is all fine. (Note that it may not be ideal for senior travelers with walking problems because it requires guests to go up and down just to get a basic item like hot drinking water).

Nevertheless, the property itself is very clean and the room is spacious; the open rooftop area and 24/7 coffee machine are other good features of the hotel. And yes, the delicious bakery items from Common Bakery Freo available for the guests to enjoy is a big plus! Located in the lively suburb Northridge where all is happening in Perth city, with the bars, restaurants and entertainment venues, it is a convenient spot but of course as expected with the common noise and safety issues at night times in an area like this.

If I like to say one area for improvement it can be the professionalism of the hotel staff. Although the hotel might be trying to create a carefree and relaxing vibe, the basic still requires from the staff such as the greetings (and put a smile on) to the hotel guests. It does not cost you a thing by showing this basic customer service quality.

Overall it is an enjoyable stay for me and it is likely that I will choose this hotel again for my next stay in Perth city.

The $10 Daily Housekeeping Credit needs reviewing

Lovely hotel in the heart of Northbridge. My only criticism is their $10 Food and Beverage Credit that is awarded each night you refuse housekeeping for your room. When I checked out the credit was never applied to my bill (I had $29 worth of drinks and $30 of credits so I should not have been charged) and the guy never told me I was being charged this $29. When I discovered the charge a few days later after I checked back in for a week, and queried it, I was informed I should have informed them at check out to have the $30 credit applied against my bill. And that it was now too late to go back and refund me the $29 I was charged. I’m sorry but the hotel should automatically apply the credit and not wait for the guest to ask them to do so - this is rather sneaky and makes a mockery of this $10 scheme. I won’t be bothering to avail of this for the rest of my stay after checking back in.

Limited in-room internet and storage

So many things are good here - friendliness of staff, eco-friendliness, and condition of hotel. But I had a room that was in a corner of the hotel without internet access, so every time I wanted to use the computer, I had to go to the common area on the first floor. Not convenient for sure, particularly as a business traveler. The rooms also have very limited storage (i.e. no closest or drawers), so when you're there for a week, you have to \"live out of a suitcase\" - no fun. Fortunately they provided a temporary desk, as the room doesn't come with that basic item.
