Peppers Kings Square is a relatively new hotel in Perth having opened in November 2016. I was in Perth for a couple of nights a fortnight ago. When I'm only staying at a hotel for a night or two I am less fussy about a hotel's amenities, such as not having a pool or gym. Nevertheless I was hoping for a comfortable place to crash at nights in between busy days and I'm pleased to say did the job. I paid about A$160 per night.
Peppers Kings Square on the fringe of the Perth CBD at 621 Wellington St, a few blocks west of Perth station - very close to Perth Arena. Wasn't easy to find at 8pm at night (11pm on my body clock having just come from Sydney) but I made it.
I was in Room 803 - right across the elevator. How's that for convenience?!
The first thing I noticed in my room was a 'corner' window - unlike any other I'd seen at any other hotel.
When I opened the curtains it was a beautiful view into Perth's inner Northern suburbs.
Here's the same view in the morning...
The bed was very comfortable...
The bathroom was good, there was both a portable nozzle and 'rain' shower-head, and you could seamlessly transition between the two with a separate tap just as seamless as turning the water on and off.
Downstairs there was a bar/cafe. Breakfast was not included in my room rate - I just went elsewhere but it looked like there was decent coffee (as well as alcohol in the evening). It did get busy later in the day - I took these two photos at 5.30am (It is commonly forgotten that although when we switch clocks forward in the Eastern states the evenings get lighter; the mornings get darker, for a while. Not in WA - I could see the first light at 4.45am)
As I said I didn't like the lack of a gym but instead I went on morning runs at 4.30am to Subiaco oval and back and that was fine.
Overall it was a good place to stay for a couple of days. In some cities like I have default go-places such as the Peagus Apart Hotel down in Melbourne. Perth is a city where I've yet to develop such a habit but Peppers Kings Square is certainly a contender for such a title.
