부동산 — The Richardson

The Richardson is a solid, three-star business hotel in West Perth, a short walk from the CBD. Its lobby feels like a clean, practical hub with a coffee machine, some armchairs, and a lot of beige. It suits travellers who want a quiet, no-frills base with free parking, a decent breakfast, and easy access to Kings Park. Good value for a one-night transit stop, but not a destination in itself.

Perth 연대기

Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, a remote outpost of the British Empire. Its early architecture was modest convict-built limestone, much of which was demolished in the 1960s boom. The 1980s mining boom reshaped the skyline with glass towers, and the 1990s saw a cultural renaissance around Northbridge. Today, Perth is a confident, outdoorsy city with a strong Aboriginal heritage (the Whadjuk Noongar people) and a liveable, sun-drenched character.

방문하기 가장 좋은 시간

Perth 완전 가이드 →

최고의 달

March and April – warm, dry days with low humidity and fewer crowds than summer. November is also excellent, just before the heat and school holidays peak.

Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리

January and February are peak summer: hot (average 31-32°C), crowded, and expensive. Hotel prices can double. The Perth International Arts Festival (February-March) draws visitors, but the main driver is school holidays and beach weather.

Budget Shoulder 시즌

May and September are quiet, with mild temperatures (18-22°C) and hotel discounts of 20-30%. June is also a budget month, though wetter.

날씨 & 포장

Perth has Mediterranean climate: long, dry summers and cool, wet winters. For late June, pack a waterproof jacket and layers – expect 8-18°C and rain showers.

City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Perth

  • Elizabeth Quay ferry terminal is being upgraded through late 2026, causing minor delays on South Perth routes.
  • The new City of Perth parking levy (introduced 2025) adds $5/day to most inner-city street parking.
  • Kings Park's Wildflower season ends in October, so winter visits focus on the quieter bushland walks.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to The Richardson, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the ground floor (rooms 101-104) if you need a room with a roll-in shower. These rooms also have widened doors, making it easier to navigate with a wheelchair.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

If you're a light sleeper, consider avoiding rooms on the third floor, as they may be more prone to street noise from Lake Street, given the hotel's address and the fact that it's in the heart of Northbridge. Additionally, avoid rooms near the lift, as it serves all 4 floors and may be more prone to noise from guests and the lift's operation.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, the hotel's address and orientation don't provide any notable view options. The hotel is situated in a dense urban area, and the surrounding buildings may obstruct views.

😴

Quietest floors

The ground floor is likely the quietest, as it's away from the lift and street noise. Rooms 101-104 on this floor have roll-in showers and widened doors, making them suitable for guests with mobility needs.

🔊 Noise notes

Street noise from Lake Street and the nearby service entrance may be a concern for light sleepers, especially on the third floor.

Insider tips

Consider booking parking at the Wilson Parking on 325 William Street, a 3-minute walk away, to avoid the hassle of finding a spot nearby. When checking in, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the free Wi-Fi network, 'richardson_guest', which doesn't require a login password.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
