Hi there, we are planning a trip to Australia involving a 2 night stay in Perth. We need advice on which area is better to stay in - by King's Park or around the Langley Park area? Any comments very welcome. The hotels along Langley Park have views out over the river and it is nice to go for a stroll along the bike path to the marina area for breakfast if you have the time. (Some hotels even hire out bikes) You can do the same thing from the Kings Park end of town but it depends on where exactly you are located as there are a lot of freeways intersecting around that area and walking is not as easy. As PP says - it depends on your purpose for visiting as to which location is best. South Perth is an option too - just across the river with easy ferry access to the CBD. Well located, but a bit quieter (in terms of traffic noise) and less hectic than staying right in the city (keeping in mind I have no idea where Langley Park is!).
