Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough

IF YOU WANT VALUE FOR MONEY-NOT HERE.. This is what you get at this hotel. Booking in was so slow, we waited for 25 minutes while one person booked in a customer that seemed to want the world. The room was their No. 1 room type. The carpet had burn marks on it. The shower water went all over the bathroom floor as the screen didn't do it's job. The room was meant to have been refurbished, not. The door to the bath room ws patched, so paying top dollar for a room tha clearly was just given a lick of paint. Was told the buffet breakfast was the best in town when booking. Dry scrambled eggs, crossiants that were IN MY OPINION from a pack of 10 from coles and to top it off you had to pay for your coffee, $5 yes $5 on top of the room and the breakfast. You have to walk 500m to go to the pool because some bright spark decided it was best to fix the pool during summer. This sums up this hotel...

I'm a Scarborough local and thought I'd book a couple nights to experience Scarborough from a different perspective. Negatives: I paid extra for a ocean view which was good but I couldn't see the sunset from my balcony sadly. (Recommend sunset view) The booking said "double bed" and I paid for a couples room but it was two single beds put together which was quite uncomfortable since you sink inbetween. The ironing board was broken and didn't stand up as the leg welds were rusted and broken. The shower hose was damaged and leaked. The TV didn't let you use a HDMI which was annoying at night before bed. Room service food is highly priced. Only one escalator worked, from the Scarborough entrance and the main entrance was close due to renovations. The pool was out of action due to renovations. Positives: The room service food (Wagyu burger) was tasty. The provided body and hair soaps & moisturisers were nice. The view was good seeing half the beach towards Hilary's and Scarborough's new developments. All in all I would stay again but I would need to confirm an actual double bed, sunset view and top floor allocation.

Our Stay – Disappointing Despite Recent Renovations Arrival was frustrating right from the start. The valet drop-off area was undergoing renovations, forcing us to search for parking on the beach side of the hotel. The underground parking proved too small for our vehicle, so we had no choice but to leave the car on the street. Check-in took much longer than expected, as the staff member assisting us appeared inexperienced. To make matters worse, our assigned room wasn’t ready even though we arrived at 4 pm. After some waiting, we were eventually moved to a different room. The hotel’s pool was closed during our stay, and we were casually told we could use another pool about 10 minutes down the street if we wanted. The main escalator at the entrance was also out of service, so we had to use the disabled access lift instead. While the rooms have clearly been recently renovated and look modern on the surface, several details fell short of expectations: • The tap in the bathroom was loose • The toilet seat was wobbly • The bathroom door showed signs of wood rot that had simply been painted over The bed itself was extremely uncomfortable, and the pillows were far from plush or supportive. Finally, being on the 17th floor didn’t protect us from the noise. The street outside turned into something of a drag strip on Friday night, with loud traffic and revving engines keeping us awake well into the early hours. Wouldn’t stay here again

Booked a room there about 2 weeks ago, when there neither escalators nor their elevators to reception were in service. Room service took over an hour to arrive, and was served what seemed like packaged food. Our rooms were not cleaned throughout the day. We had no fresh towels because of this. Tried to call reception 6 times to grab some, and no answer. Waited an hour and still couldn't get through. We ended up going down there ourselves and still had to wait in a 20 minute line for towels. We were called by reception twice, and told that we couldn't use their TV as it was "Too loud" - one of the times was at 5pm, the volume was set to 30, the second time was at 8pm and the volume was only 20... I attempted to confront reception about this, as this is supposed to be a facility we can use, and I was approached by the rude reception manager who accused me of "breaching my contract" by using it. I asked her multiple times to show me where my contract had been breached, to which she couldn't do. The manager was never able to provide any proof or evidence to back her claim of us breaching contract. I had paid a lot of money to be able to use these facilities, and as I tried to explain that to her, instead of listening to me, she threatened to kick me out of the hotel, and walked away midst conversation. Her behaviour and attitude was absolutely disgusting. As a manager, she should be trying to make every guest feel welcome, and I was treated the complete opposite. Not an ounce of kindness was shown from her, and it seems other guests were treated as a priority over us. Waited 10 days after my visit and didn't receive my deposit back. I had to call the hotel myself, only to find they hadn't released the payment until my call. Everything about this hotel is atrocious. I would not recommend to anyone.

I stayed 4 nights. Fantastic location right on the esplanade on the beach. In house restaurants and bars were great. Heaps of restaurants, bars and night spots right outside too, supermarket only a couple hundred metres away. Staff very accommodating. We held a conference here in the grand ballroom with 150 guests and were well taken care of with professional assistance. Very nice spacious hotel room, well appointed with balcony, big shower, beach views, coffee machine, kettle, well stocked mini bar and snacks, decent level of sound proofing from the night life. Smart tv with chromecast so I could stream what I wanted to watch. Free fast wifi. Breakfast options are really good in the restaurant, day spa, bars and other great facilities I didn’t get enough time to enjoy. Was here during renovations but that didn’t diminish the experience. Sunset markets out front on the esplanade on Saturday with food trucks was a bonus. I didn’t experience any of the complaints I saw in other reviews, so it’s really down to perspective and expectations of the individual. But I loved my stay. Definitely would return.

Beautiful hotel, rooms had ample room. Was situated in room 1711. It was a family share with 2 double beds. Bedding was clean and room was tidy. Opted for the buffet breakfast which was lovely and lots of fresh made choices. Bar was inviting and lots of space. Renovations are still ongoing from a year ago and don't look to be finished anytime soon which is a shame as the pool is inaccessible, one elevator is out and the front entrance is not open/accessible either. Parking is $25 per night and is self parking but be warned they can't reserve spots for hotel guests (open to public car park) and can possibly be stuck without a spot to park. Service was professional but I requested a jug or water and extra towels, we didnt have enough towels so I found a lovely cleaner who provides me with more as the phone system wasn't working and redirecting calls to other areas. Eg- called house keeping to end up calling the spa. I called reception to ask for a jug of water and bucket of ice... never received the requested items, even though the front of house said to call with any requests upon arrival and I requested ut in my booking. Venue is close to multipul pubs, cafes and restaurants, with the beach across the road. A nice location.

Brilliant hotel. The location was absolutely perfect. Even with renovations happening (not actively happening as we stayed the break between Christmas and New Year) the hotel couldn’t be faulted. Beautiful hotel, beautiful rooms, spectacular views. The food and attractions directly around the hotel were plentiful. The buffet breakfast at the hotel was delicious with a huge selection. We will definitely visit and stay here again.

Excellent location, but that is all that’s on offer. The rooms are nice enough however it’s only a soft refurbishment or glow up as the hotel likes to call it. Tried calling room service, housekeeping and reception all at different times over a two hour period as they forget to replenish the room properly and to ask for room service however the phone just rang out on all occasions. Appalling service standards..

I always wanted to do a proper staycation around Perth and also to find out why people love staycations so much. Last week Hubby and I checked into Rendezvous Hotel at Scarborough for an overnight stay. We left our cat with clean litter and heaps of food as a weekend treat for her. Rendezvous Perth was built in 1986. It offers a great view of the Indian Ocean as well as the white sand of Scarborough Beach. In the morning we saw a lot of surfers who gathered to find the best waves. The beach was always clean, and it was satisfying just to sit down and enjoy the view. The main attraction at Scarborough is the beautiful beach itself. There are a lot of eateries available around the hotel, and it is only a 20 minute drive to Perth CBD. If you're looking to pamper yourself, Vanilla Spa is located inside the Rendezvous Hotel building. A surf lesson can also be booked online in advanced through Go Surf or Scarborough Beach Surf School. At the moment there's a foreshore development at Scarborough Beach, but the view was still very amazing especially when we saw it from our room on level 22. We checked into our spacious room around 6 PM on Friday night. I did my usual thing, slid open the cupboard, see all of the cute toiletries, taking some photos and finally opened the room's curtain. We had a beautiful night view from our balcony. I really liked the matching painting and the bedding decoration. The matching decor can be found in every room at Rendezvous Hotel. Hubby took his time to set up his Nintendo Switch before we went to the Straits Cafe to have our dinner. The view in the morning was even more beautiful. It's amazing how our minds relaxed very quickly when we see beautiful nature. We got to see the foreshore developments clearer. The beach also came alive with a lot of people who walked and surfed in the morning. Last year I was lucky enough to have a preview of the Executive Suite King room. The 102 sqm hotel room has a very spacious private balcony and two rooms with king size bed. Children under 12 can stay for free in any of the rooms when sharing existing bedding. There are a lot of facilities available at the hotel such as clean gym, functioning ATM, coin operated washing machine, cascade pool with heated water and kids games room that was filled with cool arcade games. In the morning, we went to the famous Observation Deck at Level 24 which was open to the hotel guests. The view was stunning. PARKING: We drove around the block to find a parking spot for the Rendezvous Hotel. We found the paid parking spot next to the hotel lobby entrance at Westcoast Hwy. Matisse Beach Club has another entry point to the parking area. Our hotel receptionist validated the parking ticket for $15 per night. You can re-enter and exit many times you like afterward. Hubby and I had a great time during our staycation at Rendezvous Hotel Scarborough. Every staff was amiable from the time we checked in until the end of our stay. Our room was spotless, and we enjoyed our food from Straits Cafe. The hotel was very near to Coles and various eateries, and we wake up feeling refreshed. Now I'm looking forward to another staycation that I can do around Perth!

I am stuck on the fence with this one. I kind of wish it didn't exist. It is the only high building in the area and it sticks out like a sore thumb thats just been hit for a second time by a warner bros anville. This isn't the Gold Coast, even though Scarborough is a popular beach, it is still only a small suburb with local residents, no need for the garish height really. On the other hand, each room as a fabulous view. Its pretty snazzy and definitely brings spending tourists to the area. I'm still not convinced though.

We stayed in the deluxe ocean view room, views amazing hotel is really nice but the attention to detail and staff are really lacking, checking staff rude,queues very long, cleaning staff knocking on the door at 8.45 in the morning on valentines day, balcony very dirty and has no chairs which is stupid considering the views. There was one awesome girl called fredrica on the bar who was great and gave good service, good for her! Otherwise management need to lift their game.

Ob city is one of the snazziest hotels in Perth. It's a decent quality night away from home or a great place for overseas travellers who want to stay close to the ocean. It's nestled in the main drag of Scarborough, which is one of the trendiest beach spots in the world. Cafes, restaurants, parks and the coolest Coles in Perth (why? they have this cool juice you can only get there. I have no idea what it's called and I've had it once and can't find it again, but it was amazing). The rooms are absolutely decadent for the price you're paying. If you've got ocean views, you're set. We went to the restaurant for breakfast one morning for a breakfast buffet with the family and it was fantastic. The service was amazing and everyone working in the hotel was just so accommodating and welcoming. Kudos, ob citay.

Buffet breakfast. All the usuals. Mushrooms were canned. Fried tomato was hardly fried. $4 barista coffee (extra). $5 omelete (extra). I've come to expect full service at a buffet, not extra charges. Need to lift the game a bit, both in kitchen and on the floor. But I'd come back.

Meh. An 80s icon that falls below par by today's standards. I was in the market for a hotel room. I really wanted to take that elusive stay-cation. But this time it wasn't going to be a hostel stay-cation nor a chalet stay-cation. Not even a camper van stay-cation. Although, I'm aware that last one would be really fun and I definitely want to try it one day... I was after an opulent say-cation. One fit for a queen. My sister and I would spend our usual weekly holiday budget in one or two nights. It would be like that scene in Home Alone 2 when Macaulay Culkin orders the most glamorous ice cream sundae you've ever seen and eats it on an equally glamorous and ginormous bed. That would be us! The height of luxury! We couldn't wait. So we waltzed up to Observation City, all grinning and hand rubbing, and asked to see a middle of the range room. Eh. I see. Disappointing. Not like Home Alone 1 or 2. Our princely sum would have got us a small, boring room with two twin beds and a salt encrusted window. The pool didn't look spectacular either and the dining area looked over-priced in a really un-special sort of a way. I now realise that a lot more moola would have to change hands to find ourselves in a Home Alone - esque scenario but I have stayed in other hotel rooms in Perth and I found Observation City drab in comparison.

I have to say, out of all the hotel's I have stayed at this one has the worst service. They had renovations going on that they didn't notify us about, the access ramp was not available due to construction work which we needed for our pram but we were not notified, there was no one to help us with our bags, and there was only 1 out of 3 lifts working which made it impossible for us to check out on the last day. What made it worse was the manage contacted us about our feedback and then proceeded to argue with me over the conditions and what, in my opinion, a 4 1/2 star hotel should provide. I won't be recommending this hotel to anyone I know.

Great hotel! Everything is so beautiful, the foyer, the rooms especially is lovely, modern looking room, bathroom, clean, great service in this hotel! I just love it, and the view is amazing too, when I'm sleeping it's nice to open the door a bit and hear the ocean waves crashing :)

Observation CIty is a fun place to stay. Depending on which rooms you get, they can be very lavish with ocean views, large balconies and spacious rooms. Even the regular suites are nice, though they could do with a little makeover in some areas. The Foyer is a beautiful open expanse with a water feature in it that lets you just sit and stare and be lost in the noise of a babbling brook. There is an awesome swimming pool with spa and bar, though why you would use it when Scarborough Beach is just over the road is well outside my realm of understanding. The restaurant in the hotel is great too, though with Zanders just over the road, and plenty of little cafes within walking distance, I'd also leave the building for everytihng other than breakfast (and that's only because I'm lazy before 9am).

wow. It's wonderful to be pleasantly surprised these days and the Rendezvous Grand hotel definitely ticks this box. The room (recent refurb), the position, the view (OMG-the view) but mostly, the staff. The concierge exuded old fashioned courtesy and attentiveness, the reception staff were ultra professional and warm but what really blew me away was the staff in their Straits Cafe. I wandered in when they were busy setting up for a later service and so often in that situation, you are made to feel like an imposition. Not here. I was made to feel like I owned the place. The waitress could not have been better at her job & the gorgeous French Maitre D or manager exuded professionalism & warmth. I would like to extend my thanks to both of them for their kindness. It made my stay.
