Pan Pacific Perth
"The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel decor was nice. The room was in need of some maintenance and there was a noticeable lack of soundproofing. I could hear water running through the pipes and thumping from people walking around. Overall the stay was good but not great, as you’d expect ..."
