The Property — Quest Perth Ascot
Quest Perth Ascot is a straightforward, no-fuss serviced apartment hotel near the airport, aimed at travellers who need a quiet base for a night between flights or an early departure. The lobby feels like a clean, business-like reception in a medium-rise block, with a small seating area and a self-check-in kiosk, but the real selling point is the free 24/7 airport shuttle and the decent-sized kitchenette in each room. It suits solo business travellers and small families who value function over frills, not the resort crowd.
Chronicles of Perth
Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, the last of Australia's state capitals to be established, and its early growth was slow due to isolation. The 1890s gold rushes transformed it, funding grand buildings like the Treasury Building and London Court, and the post-war period brought a wave of European immigration. Today, Perth is a sprawling, low-rise city with a strong mining economy, a growing food scene, and a laid-back culture that revolves around its beaches, parks, and the Swan River.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perth guide →Best months
March and April for warm, settled autumn weather (25-28°C) without the summer heat or holiday crowds; November also works well with spring blooms and milder temperatures (22-26°C).
Peak / festival surge
December to February is the summer peak, driven by school holidays and the festive season; hotel prices can spike 30-50%, and events like the Perth International Arts Festival (Feb-March) add demand. Expect 30-40°C and packed beaches.
Budget shoulder season
October and November offer discounts (10-20% off peak rates) with spring wildflowers, pleasant 20-26°C days, and fewer tourists — best for outdoor exploration without the summer crush.
Weather & packing
Winter (June-August) brings mild days (10-18°C) but frequent rain and cool, blustery evenings; pack a water-resistant jacket and layers, including a warm jumper for overnight. The city’s climate quirk: Perth gets most of its rain in winter, but sunny spells can still appear — always have a brolly handy.
Live City Briefing — Perth
- The new Perth Stadium (Optus Stadium) and its riverside precinct continue to draw crowds for events, with regular train upgrades on the Armadale Line causing weekend track closures — check Transperth alerts for shuttle buses.
- A major redevelopment of Elizabeth Quay is nearing completion, with new bars, restaurants, and a ferry terminal linking the city to South Perth, opening more waterside dining options by mid-2026.
- Winter school holidays (July) mean higher demand at family attractions like AQWA and the Perth Zoo, plus the Perth International Film Festival runs in July — book accommodation and event tickets early.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Quest Perth Ascot, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing away from the Great Eastern Highway (the main road out front). These floors are high enough to avoid ground-level street noise but still within the lift range, and the upper position reduces noise from passing trucks on the highway.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (street level) and rooms directly overlooking the car park or the highway, especially those near the lift lobby or the bar area, as these pick up foot traffic, car door slams, and late-night chatter.
Best views
The best view is from rooms on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear of the hotel (away from the highway). You'll see the Ascot residential area and maybe the Swan River in the distance, rather than the car park or Great Eastern Highway.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest; they are above street-level bustle but below any rooftop plant or maintenance noise (if applicable). The hotel's layout is a low-rise block, so upper floors give better sound insulation from the highway.
🔊 Noise notes
The Great Eastern Highway is a busy arterial road with heavy traffic including trucks, especially during peak hours (7-9am, 5-7pm). Late-night noise from the hotel's bar or function spaces may also affect rooms near the lobby or ground floor.
Insider tips
1) If you're driving, request a parking spot in the secure lot at check-in—spaces are limited and free street parking is scarce. 2) Ask for a room on the 4th floor, even if it's a higher category; it's worth the upgrade for quieter sleep away from the highway rumble.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
