Getting to your terminal

A stay only makes sense for some terminals. Here is what the journey takes from the hotel to check-in at each one.

Our view

Who it suits: Adults who want a four-star hotel near the airport and the city, with a free shuttle at any hour.
Why we would choose it: A newer four-star hotel with a free 24-hour shuttle to every terminal, close to Optus Stadium, DFO and the Swan Valley.
The compromise: The shuttle is not guaranteed, you may wait up to 30 minutes on arrival, and it will not take children aged six and under.
Worth paying more?: Yes for adults arriving or leaving at odd hours, since it is the only free 24-hour shuttle we have found. Not with a young child, who would need a taxi.

The practical details that matter for one night before or after a flight.

Address: 285 Great Eastern Highway, Belmont WA 6104. Phone (08) 9259 3888.
Position: About 12 km from T1/T2 and 4 km from T3/T4, per the hotel. Close to Optus Stadium, Swan Valley, Ascot Racecourse and DFO Perth.
Shuttle: Free and 24 hours to all terminals, on your check-in and check-out dates only. Arrivals call reception after collecting bags and allow up to 30 minutes. Departures are booked at reception the day before or on the day, first come first served, nine seats.
Luggage: One large suitcase and one carry-on per person.
Children: No shuttle for children aged six and under, because the hotel carries no child restraints. Taxis are exempt and ranks are at every terminal.
