For the best value, consider Ocean Beach Hotel on the coast at A$103, or Civic Hotel with its free parking and restaurant from A$106.
Staying in Perth's CBD puts you within walking distance of the Swan River, Elizabeth Quay, and the city's main shopping streets. The most affordable central option is Nightcap At Belgian Beer Cafe from A$92, which also boasts the highest guest rating among budget CBD hotels at 8.3. City Quarters On Brewer offers a small, sociable stay near the river at A$157, while Moondyne Joe'S in Fremantle—a short train ride away—provides a no-frills 2-star base from A$186.
For those wanting to be close to Perth's main attractions without the CBD price tag, look to the surrounding suburbs. Nightcap At Belgian Beer Cafe sits right in the city centre and offers rooms from A$92, while City Quarters On Brewer is a short walk from the Swan River at A$157. If you prefer a quieter spot, Civic Hotel provides free parking and easy access to the city from A$106.
Finding genuinely pet-friendly budget accommodation in Perth can be tricky. While none of the hotels on this page explicitly state they allow pets, several do offer other conveniences like free parking and airport shuttles that make travelling with a pet easier. For the most flexible options, consider booking a self-catering apartment or a motel, as these often have more relaxed policies and outdoor spaces.
Joondalup, located about 25 kilometres north of Perth's CBD, is a convenient base for exploring the northern suburbs. While there are no cheap hotels in Joondalup itself on this page, budget options in nearby areas like Scarborough and Northbridge offer good value and easy access to the train line. Scarborough's Ocean Beach Hotel, for example, provides beachfront rooms from A$103, and is a short drive from Joondalup.
Redcliffe, just east of the city centre, is a practical choice for travellers catching a flight or needing quick access to the Great Eastern Highway. It's home to no fewer than three airport-focused hotels on this page: Sanno Marracoonda Perth Airport Hotel (A$100), Ibis Budget Perth Airport (A$184), and Econo Lodge Rivervale - Perth (A$95). Each offers free parking, and Sanno Marracoonda adds a 24-hour airport shuttle and an on-site restaurant.
Scarborough is one of Perth's most popular beach suburbs, known for its sunset views, surf, and lively esplanade. The only budget hotel here is Ocean Beach Hotel, which sits right on the beachfront with rooms from A$103 and free parking. Its bar overlooks the ocean, making it a great spot to watch the surf roll in after a day on the sand.
Northbridge, Perth's cultural and nightlife district, is packed with budget hostels rather than cheap hotels. Spinners Hostel stands out with an 8.9 guest rating and dorms from A$37, a short stroll from Hyde Park. Shiralee Hostel offers a community feel with free breakfast from A$21, while Quokka Backpackers Hostel provides adults-only, air-conditioned dorms from A$24. If you prefer a private room, Nightcap At Belgian Beer Cafe is just across the railway line in the CBD.
For a self-catering stay with more space, cheap cabins and holiday parks are a great option in Perth. Karrinyup Waters Resort offers self-catering apartments with a lake view and outdoor pool from A$154, ideal for families. Mountway Holiday Apartments provides central self-catering units from A$114. While not cabins in the traditional sense, these aparthotels deliver a similar blend of privacy and kitchen facilities.
The Belmont area, close to Perth Airport, is a strategic base for early departures or late arrivals. Sanno Marracoonda Perth Airport Hotel is the standout choice here, rated 8.0 from over 5,000 guest reviews, with a free 24-hour airport shuttle and a pool. Econo Lodge Rivervale - Perth offers a practical stay from A$95, also with free parking and easy access to the airport and city.
Perth's winter months (June to August) generally see lower demand and cheaper hotel rates. While this page doesn't give monthly prices, booking outside the peak season of December to February will likely stretch your budget further.
The central areas of Perth CBD and Northbridge are ideal for first-timers, putting you within walking distance of the Swan River, Elizabeth Quay, and the Art Gallery of WA. You'll find cheap hotels like Nightcap At Belgian Beer Cafe from A$92 and hostels like Spinners Hostel from A$37.
Several budget hotels near the airport offer free airport shuttles, including Sanno Marracoonda Perth Airport Hotel. If you're staying in the city, the airport train line runs directly to Perth station, from where you can walk or take a short bus ride to your hotel.
For major events like the Perth Festival in February or during school holidays, booking several months ahead is wise. Outside these periods, you can often find good last-minute deals, but booking 2–4 weeks ahead gives you the best choice of budget rooms.
Perth's CBD is generally safe and well-lit at night, especially around the main nightlife strips. Northbridge, while lively, can be a bit rowdy late at night, so stick to well-populated areas. Most budget hotels on this page are in central or airport locations, both of which are well-connected by public transport.
Perth's budget hotel scene is spread across the city, from the beachside suburbs of Cottesloe and Scarborough to the airport precinct and the central business district. You can find 3-star hotels with rooms from A$92, hostels with beds from A$14, and self-catering apartments that make longer stays more economical. What unites them is value: free parking, airport shuttles, and breakfast are often included, helping you stretch your travel dollars further.
This page focuses on the cheaper end of Perth's accommodation, but it's not only hotels. You'll also find a mix of hostels, motels, apartments, and a resort that fit the budget theme. Whether you're a backpacker looking for a social dorm in Northbridge or a traveller wanting a quiet motel near the airport, there's something here for every style and budget.
This collection of budget hotels, hostels, and motels suits travellers who want to keep costs down without sacrificing location. It's ideal for backpackers, solo adventurers, and families who are happy to trade luxury for a free breakfast, parking, or an airport shuttle.
