Paruna Sanctuary Holidays

Nice to have washer and dryer in the room for my laundry. Close to park, across the street, long walk to downtown.

Great location and ambiance. We have stayed many times and it is always a great experience

Bed was very comfortable, roof top bar has a good vibe, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights in a Waders Terrace Cottage it was excellent complementary stocked mini bar recently renovated large room still and sparkling water on tap. Very nice complementary continental breakfast and a welcome drink everyday at the Gimlet bar.The staff went above and beyond.We will definitely stay again.

I stayed for work, wanting to be near the train station to commute to Crown for a convention and attend meetings in the CBD and UWA precinct. Alex Hotel had been recommended by friends, and this was indeed a good location, clean with helpful and very friendly staff. I had been put off previously by the room rates, but it was low season and there was a discount through Expedia this time. However this is not for a business traveller and certainly not a place that I feel like I would stay if I was on holiday (except for maybe one night en route to somewhere else). Room was very basic (no chair, desk), iron/ironing boards were shared for each floor, complimentary tea/coffee was available but on Level 1. I understand breakfast at a home is expensive, but this seemed steep. In all, these things I can live with. The major issue was the noise. I understand that this is in Northbridge and I know what this place is about (I had a uni job at The Deen nightclub nearby). Bass from Universal Bar persisted well after midnight. The clubs are not going anywhere, but I did expect noise-proofing, and not having to rely on complimentary ear plugs. I had a "Slumber" room, and I am fairly certain the noise was not disclosed as an issue. I don't think I can justify the room rate, even with the discount. Stay here if you're keen for a big night out with your mates, but its not exactly a romantic getaway or suitable as a place to base yourself for extended business trips.
