Adelphi Hotel Apartments, Perth

Advantages: Beautiful architecture
Disadvantages: Service, decor, cleanliness . . .

...Aaah - The Adelphi! What a place!! From the outside it looks pretty impressive. You walk in and are greeted by a huge, opulent reception area. Fantastic architecture greets you every where you care to look. Massive chandeliers hang from the vaulted ceilings and create an overall ambience that is missing from so many of todays more modern hotels. However, it all falls apart pretty quickly after that. Check in can be nightmare experience. The general decor and condition of some of the rooms is appalling. Peeling paint work? Dead flies on the window sill? You bet - they've got it all!! I'm sure that those of you who saw the TV series documenting The Adelphi will need no reminding of the levels service that are sometimes available if you're unlucky. It's a real shame because the hotel has so much potential. It is a beautiful building... Read review

Advantages: Central location. Great decor.Great food. Good service
Disadvantages: Difficult to think of any

...On my three visits to Liverpool I have always visited the Adelphi Hotel which I reckon is a superb hotel and is not that expensive. If you judge in terms of value for money it is really good value.There are often special or mid week breaks offered by the Britannia group of hotels and they are at rates much below the rack rate. The public rooms at the Adelphi are sumptuous to say the least.You can imagine all the shipping tycoons and wealthy merchants and their families sipping afternoon tea in the magnificent lounge. The quality of the service at this fine hotel matches the surroundings. The sunday lunches are moderately priced and well worth sampling. There are a lot of facilities at this city centre hotel and my husband enjoys the bars very much.The Adelphi also has a disco for the younger crowd... Read review

Advantages: easy to walk into town centre from here/beautiful views/very clean
Disadvantages: very small pool/sound of traffic most of time.

...We stayed here for a week and found it an excellent place to be as we had never been to Perth before and it was so easy to either walk into the city (10-15 minutes) or hop on a free bus outside. The views from the apartments over the river and local parks and are beautiful. The staff were very helpful and kind and the rooms were well appointed and equipped as well as spotlessly clean. There is a restuarant on site and a few other places nearby but it is so close to town without actually being in it that it is easy to eat anywhere and have a drink then walk back to apartment. It was nice having your own apartment but also having the luxury of a hotel reception. There are two pools on site but they are very small and in fact one did not catch the sun for very long but then we were there to sight see so it did not matter.... Read review
