The Peninsula Riverside Serviced Apartments

Good location and nice view. Walking distance to nearby 24hrs supermarket, restaurants and jetty to take a ferry across to CBD. Apartment is abit old but c/w a mini kitchen whereby induction stove, microwave, fridge and utensils are readily available. Toilet is quite small and bedroom is without a door. Free parking but no guarantee will get a parking lot. Ample parking along the road outside with a small fee. A guest lounge that offers free chocolate, coffee and tea with mini entertainment. Overall, is a good stay.

EDIT; After a robust discussion we were moved to a much better room but not “upgraded” as it was the same level apparently. The new room had enough made up beds for our family, a courtyard and plenty of room. On check out I was ambushed about the original review and I agreed that I would address it but still be honest, including the conversation had with the morning staff who told me “hey, come back here” and that the original post was “not necessary” TIPS: room 7 is appropriate for a 4 person family but I’m told it’s the only one in that layout and it cost the same as the other rooms as it’s “the same” If you want the sofa to be made into a bed you should call ahead. I would rate room 7 as being appropriate for the $332 but all other rooms should be much cheaper. The whole process, the blame was put back on us for not calling ahead and clarifying what we would like, I now know to specifically ask for a bed for each child or for the sofa to be made up. If room 7 isn’t available, every other room (I’m told) is not up to my standard. ORIGINAL POST; Last time I stayed was a month ago and I booked direct. Nice place, good location. This time I booked through hotels.com Room I booked and paid for wasn’t available so they downgraded my family and I but they insist that they told us (email to junk folder of a previous address, not via hotels.com app or the one used when booking the room) Disappointing, sure but I can wear some blame for not checking my emails whilst on holidays (even the ones not used for this booking). The frustration really starts when we rock up at midnight to find all this out and the sofa hadn’t been made up for my kid. I was still paying for the family room but got a single room with a bonus apology. If it wasn’t prepaid my wife would have insisted we start looking elsewhere. So 2 stars is an average from the previous experience and this terrible experience. Oh, the advertised free car parking is being renovated. No carparking.

The apartments are in a nice location across the Swan River from Perth's CBD. The ferry across the river is close to the apartments. Close to restaurants and a supermarket. We booked the apartment that was advertised as: Riverside Suite - upper floor suite has a balcony with side partial river views of the Swan River. However, when you sat on the balcony, your view was of the carpark and the next-door building. To see the river you have to look over the balcony down the side of the apartment block. I wasn't expecting this. The room wasn't very well soundproofed as we could hear the next-door apartment bathroom activities very clearly. Thus, you wake up when they wake up. There is currently a construction site behind the apartments, which started using a jack hammer at 7.30am this morning.

The rooms are comfortable, and we appreciated the free parking. Best of all were the views of the Swan River and Perth CBD from the grassy park across the street, its proximity to the Perth Zoo, and its location steps away from the ferry to Elizabeth Quay. Very nice, overall.

The Peninsula is an awesome hotel free parking and a family oriented place. We stayed here while we had medical appointments and the customer service was exceptional Heather from customer service was supportive and helpful towards my anxious queries and accommodating our requirements. We also had tentative dates and she happily helped us secure the booking.

Beautiful park and nice scenery in front of the serviced apartments. Great view to start the day. Simple amenities in the apartment but comfortable stay. However the rooms do not look the same as what the photos show. Great cafes near the corner to have breakfast and have good restaurants nearby.

Exceptionally clean, comfy, convenient location. Nice and quiet and our requests for an extra night was accommodated. Free parking and vouchers to use in South Perth! Will definitely stay again!

This is our go-to location when staying in Perth on business. Restaurants, Pubs, supermarket, chemist etc… all within 2 min walk. Right on the River and a fantastic morning walking track along the river. Ferry into the city on your doorstep, friendly helpful staff, free parking. Ticks all the boxes for us!
