Now Best Western


We stayed at the Best Western Queens Hotel Perth for one night in October 2013. I found the lowest price of 62 for two guests including breakfast though Booking.com, using the HotelsCombined price comparison site . The hotel is located in the city centre opposite Perth railway station. There’s a free car park at the side of the hotel.
The lobby is pretty ghastly with a large monitor counting a la carte indy down the days until Christmas, garish colours and cheap cane furniture. Check-in isn’t until 4pm, which is rather late. The receptionists try hard to get you to book dinner in the hotel and sign up to the Best Western Loyalty Club.
Now Best Western’s strapline is “hotels with personality”. Well, our second floor room was distinctly lacking in that. It was also cold, it felt like walking into a fridge, as the radiator had been turned off. The furniture was a bit tatty and old-fashioned. There were no electrical sockets close the desk. Our room overlooked the Perth ring road at the front of hotel, but I didn’t hear much road noise through the double glazing.
The room was very clean. There was excellent free WiFi which didn’t require a password, so I was able to connect my netbook, phone and camera simultaneously. The bathroom looked more recently refurbished than the bedroom, but the sink taps seemed to have continuous small leaks.
Breakfast was served in a featureless function room that didn’t a la carte indy have enough tables a la carte indy laid out for the number of guests. Breakfast was OK. There was a buffet with cereal, yoghurt, fresh and tinned fruit, fruit juice, a la carte indy rolls and pastries. You could order a cooked breakfast; we both had smoked haddock with poached egg.
In summary, the Best Western Queens Hotel is located in a convenient central location with clean but depressing a la carte indy rooms, free parking and WiFi. However, the lobby and rooms are in desperate need of a makeover. In cold weather, a la carte indy the heating in the bedrooms should be turned on from midday, to enable the rooms to warm up for the arrival of guests. There are plenty of other hotels with more character and warm bedrooms in Perth for around the same price, e.g. the Station Hotel and the Salutation Hotel.
