The apartment is close to the red cat bus stop so you could take it to the city. The room has a modern feel, nice and new. They have all the kitchen amenities, washing machine and dryer. The only thing is that there is only 1 toilet for 4-5pax living there. The shower and toilet are separated from each other thus it is quite difficult to go back and forth. In addition, it is not enough for 4 pax. I'm not sure I would stay here again if I am coming with my family.
Great hotel to stay nearby to the elizabeth quay bus station by walking distance. Can ride free BLUE, GREEN and PURPLE CAT bus from this station.
Walking to the shopping street Murray street was about 15-20mins.
Hotel just right beside the exhibition centre.
The facility still acceptable but furnitures and TV kind of old. Need replacement.
The elevator was old fashioned and there was huge problem on inserting and releasing the room card in the elevator to select the correct floor. Advise to renovate and replace with touch pad system.
Mountway Hotel Apartment: A Budget Gem for Asian Travelers in Perth
I recently stayed at Mountway Hotel Apartment in Perth, and I must say it’s one of the best options in its price range, especially for Asian travelers looking for a long-term stay with self-catering facilities.
Location: The hotel’s location is incredibly convenient for getting around. It’s just 1.1 km from the central train station, and you can hop on free bus services like the Red CAT, Blue CAT, or Green CAT, with stops only 100m to 250m away—perfect for easy commuting. Behind the hotel lies the stunning Kings Park and Botanic Garden. If you don’t feel like walking the 300m to get there, the Blue CAT will drop you off effortlessly. The accessibility to public transport and nearby attractions is a huge plus.
Cleanliness: While the exterior might look a bit dated, the interior is surprisingly spotless. I booked a room for two, but the bedding and pillows provided were enough for four, which was a nice touch. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained, and I was thoroughly satisfied with the cleanliness.
Facilities: The private kitchen was a highlight—equipped with a rice cooker, pots, pans, a toaster, a fridge, and enough cutlery, plates, and utensils for four people. They even provide coffee, which I appreciated. However, there are a few downsides: the electric stove is small and outdated, making cooking a bit slow. Also, there’s no salt or basic seasonings provided, nor chopsticks, which might inconvenience Asian guests. The bathroom features a very clean bathtub, but it lacks shampoo and body wash, so you’ll need to bring your own.
Despite these minor drawbacks, I’d still rate Mountway Hotel Apartment as the best value for money in its category. It’s practical, comfortable, and ideal for Asian travelers who want to stay longer and cook meals to suit their tastes. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a home-away-from-home experience in Perth!
