Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good value for a budget priced motel in such a handy location.

Good points: Very friendly & helpful office staff; our room was spotlessly clean and looked recently renovated/painted; very handy to public transport, CBD & airport; price very reasonable. Not-so-good points: Parking space is very tight, so if the motel is full and several guests have large cars then manouvering a car can be difficult. The flightpath is directly over the motel: didn't worry us because we didn't go to bed until after the airport curfew (approx 10:30pm); but if you want to go to sleep early you will need ear-plugs. Overall, it was very good value for a budget motel: we stayed 3 nights and would definitely stay again.

Overpriced campsite.

A major letdown, but then again, you get what you pay for. Incredibly noisy because of the low overhead air traffic and the main road at the front door. Major privacy issues because ill-fitting roller blinds are installed instead of curtains, and car-parking issues to round it all off. And how can one forget the sheer lack of basic amenities, all of which makes the whole experience akin to a stay at a dormitory than a decent motel unit.

Great Experience

Very clean rooms, ample parking, close to Thebarton Theater and eateries with very friendly staff, what else you need. This is the best place for those who want an affordable stay near the city and the beach as you can take a bus from right in front to either side for just 15 minutes.

Friendly Manager / reception area

Manager Leigh was only too happy to help and offer items to make the stay enjoyable. Great clean room. The room had all the essentials like toaster, microwave and kettle ... and of course don't forget the fridge! Secure off street parking and the location is what seals the deal. Very accessible to the city ... $10 in an Uber ... and great value for the money ... and in the infamous words of Arnie, we'll be back!

Home away from home

Conveniently located from just about everything is henley's best kept secret.Tucked away from the bustling traffic this little gem is by far my favourite place to stay when it comes to value for money, location location and much sort after relaxation. The staff are more than accommodating going over and above the call of duty to ensure our stay was perfect. Never once did it seem like an inconvenience or a hassle. Guest Rooms recently undertook a tasteful modern in the main living/bedroom area with new carpets, new modern chic furniture and a fresh paint to seal the deal. The cleanliness of the rooms could not be faulted. Massive accolades to all at city west Motel on a job well done. (I will be bringing the dog next time)

Good budget hotel

Nicely position halfway between CBD and the airport it's not a great place, looks a little bit rundown and could do with a bit of paint but everything is there if you need it: ironing board and hairdryer from reception. You get cold milk on arrival. There's a fridge, TV, microwave. Paint work needs touching up everywhere and the toilet needs bleach - lots of grubby marks on the switches. But at £68 a night and only have $5 Uber ride from town or the airport it ticked my boxes

Has changed hands since I last stayed

The proprietor was brusque & less than helpful when we returned to our room at 10pm to find there were no towels despite leaving our towels on the rails to indicate they didn't need changing - as per the printed instructions in the unit. I enquired about breakfast (as advertised) but was advised to go to a cafe. There were no tissues provided, no waste bin in bathroom, just a jug, 2 cups (no saucers), 1 teaspoon & 2 glasses plus a few sachets of sugar, tea & coffee. I will not stay there again. Kathryn Lai
