City Waters is not the type of hotel you would fall in love immediately. In fact, I didn't quite like it at the first glance. But the price was quite reasonable (actually inexpensive) for a family of four, and it was self-contained and located at a relatively convenient location, so we settled there after shortly arriving in Perth. Our stay was very pleasant that after touring the South of WA and returning to Perth, we decided to spend another four nights at City Waters. No, it's not elaborate or fancy, but they have basically everything you need. (You might have to check to get a room with ovens though, because I think they only have those in rooms on the ground floor.) Bathroom cleanliness is always very important to me, and City Waters did very well in the aspect. The bath tub looked new and the shower worked very well. The only down side is the lack of ventilation so it tends to steam up.

Anyway, if you are looking for a budget stay in Perth, go to City Waters.
