Hotels in PerthA basic 3-star hotel in Perth's city centre
6.5/10
A convenient budget base, but tired rooms and patchy Wi-Fi limit its appeal.
Criterion is a basic 3-star city-centre hotel whose strongest selling point is location, not polish. Shops, restaurants and Perth Station are within easy walking distance. We'd consider it for a short, budget-minded stay: recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful reception staff, and many describe clean, comfortable rooms that do the job.
The recurring drawback is tired condition, with worn furnishings and bathrooms that need updating. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive but not consistent, while weak Wi-Fi crops up across sites. The hotel confirms limited housekeeping, no on-site parking and a mandatory security bond; a May 2026 Expedia guest also reported the downstairs restaurant closed. We'd skip it for remote work or if fresh interiors and dependable daily servicing matter.
