Hotel Northbridge stands at 210 Lake Street in Northbridge, the part of Perth known for its restaurants, bars and nightlife. Hyde Park, a leafy lake-dotted park, is about a four-minute walk away, and the Western Australian Museum is roughly fourteen minutes on foot. The hotel is rated class 4 and is set up for travellers who want a comfortable room, a spa tub to soak in after a day out and a lively neighbourhood outside the door rather than a big resort. Rooms come as a queen with spa, a king with spa or a room with two queen beds, each around 20 square metres, and the hotel has a restaurant, a bar, air conditioning and free WiFi. This is a good fit for couples, friends and anyone who prefers a smaller hotel to a tower block, and it sits at a middle price level compared with the city's luxury towers.
Location and getting around
Northbridge sits just north of the railway line that divides it from the main city centre, and this hotel is on its quieter Lake Street edge. Hyde Park is about four minutes away on foot, which makes it easy to start the day with a walk around the lakes. The Western Australian Museum is around fourteen minutes on foot, HBF Park is about sixteen minutes away and Perth Underground Station is roughly sixteen minutes on foot, so most people will use a short taxi, a bus or the free city transit zone for the Hay Street Mall, which is only a few minutes by car.
Perth Airport is about a nineteen-minute drive, so the hotel is a practical base for a short stay as well as a longer one.
The rooms and the feel
The three room types are a queen room with a spa, a king room with a spa and a room with two queen beds. They are all about 215 square feet, or around 20 square metres, so they are compact rather than spacious, but the jetted tub is a real point of difference at this price. Rooms have a laptop-friendly workspace, a safe, a refrigerator, tea and instant coffee with an electric kettle, free toiletries and an LCD television, and free cribs are available if you are travelling with a baby.
Rollaway beds carry a surcharge, so check when you book if you need an extra bed. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, breakfast is available, and the front desk is open around the clock, with luggage storage and tour and ticket assistance on hand.
Parking and practical details
Self parking is available for a surcharge of around 20 Australian dollars per day and spaces are limited, so ask before you drive in if you are arriving by car. Check-in starts at 2 pm and check-out is at 10 am, which is earlier than at many city hotels, so plan your morning and use the luggage storage if your flight leaves later. Pets are not allowed.
Who it suits and what to know: choose Hotel Northbridge if you want to be close to Northbridge's food and nightlife at a mid-range price, if a spa bath in the room appeals, or if you want a base that is a short ride from the Perth Mint, the Bell Tower and the Swan River without paying for a waterfront tower. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the street, because the neighbourhood stays busy at night. If you want a pool and a gym on site, the Doubletree by Hilton Perth Northbridge a short distance away is a better choice.
