The Property — Regal Apartments
The Regal Apartments has a no-fuss, practical feel: a clean, self-contained base in West Perth rather than a pampered hideaway. The lobby is small but functional, with a front desk that hands over keys and leaves you to it. Great for independent travellers who want a kitchenette, a washing machine, and easy access to the city centre without paying for hotel trimmings they won't use.
Chronicles of Perth
Perth was founded in 1829 as the Swan River Colony, the last piece of the Australian continent settled by Europeans. Its architecture runs from Victorian-era limestone buildings in the CBD to the brutalist towers and glass skyscrapers that shot up after the 1960s mining booms. Culturally, it has shifted from a sleepy, isolated outpost to a confident modern city, thanks to immigration waves from southern Europe and Asia, and a thriving arts scene centred around the Perth Cultural Centre. Now it balances a relaxed riverside lifestyle with serious money from mining, and has a food and wine reputation that punches well above its population size.
Best Time to Visit
Full Perth guide →Best months
March and April, and October to November: autumn and late spring offer warm, sunny days (25-30°C) without the peak summer tourist crush, and cooling sea breezes.
Peak / festival surge
January is the busiest, with the Perth Festival, Fringe World, and school holidays driving hotel occupancy near 90% and prices 50-70% above shoulder season. February also stays busy with Australia Day and continued festival events.
Budget shoulder season
February-March and October-November give you the best value: still great weather, lighter crowds, and hotel rates typically 20-40% below peak.
Weather & packing
Perth has a classic Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters—though winter rain usually comes in short bursts, not day-long drizzle. Pack a light waterproof jacket and layers; July averages 8-18°C, and evening temperatures can drop, so bring a sweater for dinner out.
Live City Briefing — Perth
- The Elizabeth Quay bus station is undergoing upgrades until late 2026; expect some route changes and stop closures in the central CBD.
- New pedestrian plaza on William Street between Murray and Hay streets opened in April 2026, improving access to the Perth Cultural Centre and Northbridge dining.
- Winter whale-watching season is underway: humpback and southern right whales migrate along the coast from June to September, with cruise operators offering trips from Fremantle.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Regal Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5 facing the courtyard or rear of the building. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough to have quick lift access in a 3-star property where lifts can be slow. The rear aspect overlooks the quiet residential area behind Regal Place.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and rooms facing Regal Place (the front). Ground floor rooms are prone to foot traffic noise from the lobby and street, and the front rooms on lower floors will pick up traffic from Regal Place, which is a narrow access road but can have delivery vans early morning. Also avoid rooms directly beside the lift shaft on any floor — the lift mechanism can be noisy in a budget hotel.
Best views
The best view from Regal Apartments is towards the south-west, where you can see the Perth skyline and the Swan River in the distance. Request a room on floors 4 or 5 with a south-west orientation. The address at 11 Regal Place is in a mixed residential-commercial area near the river — upper floors give a decent city-river vista.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5. These sit above the street-level bustle but below the roof (which might have plant machinery on a 3-star building). The mid-range floors buffer noise from both above and below.
🔊 Noise notes
Regal Place is a small street off Terrace Road, so the main noise source is traffic from Terrace Road (a busy arterial) during peak hours. Street noise will be noticeable on lower front floors. The hotel itself has a small lift which clanks — audible in adjacent rooms. There may also be morning bin collection noise on Regal Place around 6-7am.
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, request a room away from the car park entrance — the car park door can bang late at night. 2. Check in early (before 2pm if possible) to secure a rear-facing room; the front desk is usually flexible if you're polite. 3. Ask for an upper floor room — the lift is small and slow, but the quiet is worth the wait.
- 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
