I’m honestly shocked this hotel carries the Crown branding. It feels like they’ve simply slapped the Crown logo on the old Holiday Inn and done next to nothing to update it.
The rooms are small, dated and lack basic modern features. The TV is old, dark, and you can’t connect anything to it. Paint is peeling, walls are scuffed, and you can hear absolutely everything due to zero soundproofing. The bathroom has a shower-over-bath setup that belongs in the 90s — definitely not what you’d expect from a 5-star property.
The hotel doesn’t link to the casino at all, so it doesn’t feel like part of the Crown precinct. The outdoor pool isn’t heated, making it basically unusable most of the year. No indoor pool either — which would have been fine if the outdoor pool was at least functional.
The lobby areas are worn out, with old carpets, dirty sections and areas that literally creak when you stand on them. Nothing about it feels modern or refreshed.
Housekeeping is another major issue. We stayed for six nights and there was no cleaning service at all. They blame it on “environmental reasons,” but it’s hard to believe — it comes across more like a lack of staff or effort.
Service at check-in was okay, but not what you expect from a Crown hotel — and definitely nowhere near the standard of Crown Melbourne, which feels luxurious and polished. Crown Promenade Perth feels like the poor cousin, an afterthought rather than a premium experience.
To top it off, we were severely overcharged for parking.
For a six-night stay, the self check-in system charged us 26 nights of parking, leaving us $1,800 out of pocket. Even on a self-check-in system, how does it not automatically flag that a guest staying six nights wouldn’t need parking for 26? Now we have to wait 10–14 business days for a refund — highly inconvenient and totally unacceptable.
For the price and the Crown name, this was extremely underwhelming. I wouldn’t stay here again.
