What guests think
Across recent reviews of Lodestar Waterside Apartments, guests praise the convenient South Perth location near the river, ferry and cafes, but repeatedly report serious cleanliness issues, very dated interiors, and mismatches between photos and the actual condition on arrival.
Many apartments are spacious and self-contained with kitchens and laundry, but equipment and supplies are often missing or broken, Wi‑Fi is commonly unavailable or unreliable, and freeway noise can affect light sleepers. Service is frequently hands-off, with unattended reception and lockbox check-ins, though a few guests found staff helpful. Overall, expect basic, budget-style lodging in a great spot, but with inconsistent standards and limited on-site support.

Central location easy access to everything we needed shopping and restaurants close by. Need to be aware that it is a 3 story apartment and no lift, need to use stairs which might not be suitable for everyone.

I had booked an apartment at Lodestar Waterside Apartments between 16 Feb and 24 Feb 24. I think the place is extremely bad, amongst other things, the living room light was not working, the television set was not working, the remote control had to be taped, and the frying pan was so bad that it was unsuitable for use. I thought it was very unprofessional of the management for not checking. Moreover, the mobile signal was very weak. For the above reasons, I have booked another place and had checked out on 18 Feb 24.

Generally good. Unit was clean but decor tired. There was traffic noise from freeway, we reduced this by keeping windows closed while sleeping. We appreciated the spacious kitchen and full laundry. Kitchen had oven as well as microwave. Our appartment had adequate utensils. We were taking part in a sports team so spent little time in the appartment during the day. The location was excellent for getting to the various sports fields throughout Perth.

Reception seems to be non-existent, with our room key and information left in a lock box despite checking in soon after 2pm. This was communicated clearly by email. We never saw anyone during our 1 week stay. Basic supplies were scarce; not enough glasses and cutlery for the number of guests, no plugs for sinks or cloths for washing dishes, a single dishwashing tablet for a 1 week stay, no broom. That might be ok if you're going to be serviced regularly, but nothing during a 6 night stay. Having no wifi is a real downside and a tv that doesn't have HDMI capability is limiting these days. The apartment needed a deep clean. Tiled floors clearly had dirt worn into the tile and grout. Walls were dirty along the beds. Beds not the worst I stayed in, but not particularly comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was convenient and the location is handy and walking distance to the river and South Perth cafes.

The units themselves are basic and clean. If you're only intending on sleeping and showering there they're more than adequate. Has fridge and cooking facilities and dishwasher too. Being right next to the freeway could be a problem if a light sleeper and need quiet. Limited parking however seems to be enough for all guests. A slightly dated appearance.

Arrived very late, after reception had closed. Received late check in instructions which provided me no issues. Older property with ok amenities, older air conditioning. No ventilation in the bedroom, on the hot night that I stayed it would have helped to have a fan of aircon in the bedroom.

Nice and close to the city, fountains could be removed and a pool installed would make it nicer. Good kitchen facilities, but no tea towels. Room was cleaned half way through our stay but only one bed made, was thinking the room would not get serviced so that was odd. Parking a little tight in a 4WD but workable.

The rooms are old and neglected and do not look anything like the website. We were texted late check-in details on the day of our arrival although we arrived within reception hours. I did not see Reception open the whole 5 days of my stay. The apartment had not been cleaned prior to our stay, rubbish in robe, mould in bathroom sink, thick dust on walls behind curtains. Killed three very big cockroaches over three nights. Kitchen sink plug did not fit. We ran out of toilet paper on day 3, with no spare rolls supplied in cupboard. Old stains on linen on main bed and on spare linen and blanket in cupboard. All appalling and I fought for a 50% refund which Wotif were every helpful in progressing. Do not stay at Lodestar Waterside Apartments. There is no service or attempt to maintain apartments.

We asked for a single bed to be added to the room, which it was. However, it was placed directly in front of the air conditioner which needed to be on as it was very warm on both days of our stay. It was the only air conditioner and there was nothing in the bedroom. In the bathroom there was only 1 roll of toilet paper supplied which did not last 2 days. The grout between the tiles in the shower needed a good scrub to remove mould. The plug for the kitchen sink did not fit the plug hole. The door handle to the balcony was loose. The carpet in the lounge room had not been vacuumed properly and was evident when I moved the single bed. Generally, the room was very tired and neglected. The hotel was supposed to be manned from 10.00 AM but on both days there was nobody there at 10.00. The shower tile

The property is extremely dirty and outdated. We walked around the property barefoot for 10 minutes and our feet were black. The cleaners tried to clean the floors but they didn’t even have a proper mop. The toilet was leaking and the floors were wet. The showers were constantly leaking and we couldn’t turn them off, the noise kept us up at night. Because it was holidays, there wasn’t anyone at the reception to help us. On a positive note, it’s a good location and the apartment is large.

The location of the property is ideal, and the size of the rooms was generous. But the room was dirty. The shower was in a disgusting state and the carpet was so dirty that it looked unsafe to walk on with bare feet. The curtains were filthy and had obviously not been cleaned for many years. Half of the lights around the unit did not work, including one above the bed which had a bit of insulation tape over the broken switch, and the small balcony had a timber section with loose boards with nails sticking up in a way that made it impossible to stand on without a lot of care. The kitchen was poorly equipped with pots that had no lids and a very dirty exhaust fan. It was essentially unusable. The parking area was also difficult. Only a few bays were available for visitors, but it has been so long since the signs on the parking bays had been painted that it was difficult to work out which ones were available. And finally the place was sprinkled with threatening signs. You will be fined if you lock your self out. You will be doubly fined if you lose your key. If you park in the wrong place your car will be towed away etc. I really dislike people who think we are bad an uncaring visitors. Do the owners really think that threatening notices will improve the behaviour of uncaring visitors? Do they think that we chose to rent their dirty facility in order to behave badly.

My stay was deeply disappointing. Upon arrival, we found the room was not as pictured. There was black dirt on the windows and a significant layer of dust throughout, which was a major issue for me as I have dust allergies. This resulted in a very uncomfortable night's sleep. On top of that, the screen door was missing from the entry, the light fixtures by the bed were loose and broken, and we even had to deal with someone else's half-eaten food in the fridge. The actual state of the property did not live up to the images or reviews previously seen.

This Property needs an upgrade to bring it to a reasonable standard. Meet with filthy stairway and corridor to the apartment. Kitchen dirty - food on the outside of the refrigerator plus dirty shelves on inside of the refrigerator. Plate taken from cupboard with food on it. No hot water in the kitchen. Only time I have ever had to buy cleaning products. Walls marked, curtains dirty and the doona fit only to be thrown out. Condition of the apartment totally negates the excellent position of the property.

Apartments are generally dated and worn, with broken or uncomfortable furniture and various maintenance faults; several note no bedroom air‑conditioning or ventilation and disruptive freeway noise. Sizes are decent for short stays, but Wi‑Fi reliability is a common frustration.

The rooms are old and neglected and do not look anything like the website. We were texted late check-in details on the day of our arrival although we arrived within reception hours. I did not see Reception open the whole 5 days of my stay. The apartment had not been cleaned prior to our stay, rubbish in robe, mould in bathroom sink, thick dust on walls behind curtains. Killed three very big cockroaches over three nights. Kitchen sink plug did not fit. We ran out of toilet paper on day 3, with no spare rolls supplied in cupboard. Old stains on linen on main bed and on spare linen and blanket in cupboard. All appalling and I fought for a 50% refund which Wotif were every helpful in progressing.

Reception seems to be non-existent, with our room key and information left in a lock box despite checking in soon after 2pm. This was communicated clearly by email. We never saw anyone during our 1 week stay. Basic supplies were scarce; not enough glasses and cutlery for the number of guests, no plugs for sinks or cloths for washing dishes, a single dishwashing tablet for a 1 week stay, no broom. That might be ok if you're going to be serviced regularly, but nothing during a 6 night stay. Having no wifi is a real downside and a tv that doesn't have HDMI capability is limiting these days. The apartment needed a deep clean. Tiled floors clearly had dirt worn into the tile and grout. Walls were dirty along the beds. Beds not the worst I stayed in, but not particularly comfortable. Having a washer and dryer was convenient and the location is handy and walking distance to the river and South Perth cafes.

We asked for a single bed to be added to the room, which it was. However, it was placed directly in front of the air conditioner which needed to be on as it was very warm on both days of our stay. It was the only air conditioner and there was nothing in the bedroom. In the bathroom there was only 1 roll of toilet paper supplied which did not last 2 days. The grout between the tiles in the shower needed a good scrub to remove mould. The plug for the kitchen sink did not fit the plug hole. The door handle to the balcony was loose. The carpet in the lounge room had not been vacuumed properly and was evident when I moved the single bed. Generally, the room was very tired and neglected. The hotel was supposed to be manned from 10.00 AM but on both days there was nobody there at 10.00. The shower tile

The property is extremely dirty and outdated. We walked around the property barefoot for 10 minutes and our feet were black. The cleaners tried to clean the floors but they didn’t even have a proper mop. The toilet was leaking and the floors were wet. The showers were constantly leaking and we couldn’t turn them off, the noise kept us up at night. Because it was holidays, there wasn’t anyone at the reception to help us. On a positive note, it’s a good location and the apartment is large.

Our room hadn't actually been cleaned (towels, sheets had been used) when we were given the key. We had to ask for it to be cleaned. It wasn't particularly clean in general. The beds were comfortable, at least. There was an aircon issue that thankfully didn’t end up being a problem. Overall, not at all recommended.

It was conveniently situated. It was clean but for a self-contained unit there were things missing - eg soap, tea towel, dish washing detergent, dish sponge, tea/coffee/sugar depleted. Reception was poorly attended and very little welcoming.

Location
Widely praised South Perth location within walking distance of the river, ferry, cafes and the Zoo, and convenient for reaching the city. Proximity to the freeway brings noticeable traffic noise for some, and a few note the CBD isn’t easily walkable.

Generally good. Unit was clean but decor tired. There was traffic noise from freeway, we reduced this by keeping windows closed while sleeping. We appreciated the spacious kitchen and full laundry. Kitchen had oven as well as microwave. Our appartment had adequate utensils. We were taking part in a sports team so spent little time in the appartment during the day. The location was excellent for getting to the various sports fields throughout Perth.

The units themselves are basic and clean. If you're only intending on sleeping and showering there they're more than adequate. Has fridge and cooking facilities and dishwasher too. Being right next to the freeway could be a problem if a light sleeper and need quiet. Limited parking however seems to be enough for all guests. A slightly dated appearance.

The listing is misleading; the pictures showed an upper-floor unit, but we got a first-floor unit. There was an AC unit, but not in the bedroom; it was in the living room!!. And if you have been to Perth, you know that it can be hot in early March. And it was. The check-in was a disaster. The front desk is open only from 10 am to 2 pm, and the phone number they have listed is outdated. You would only know the right number to call if you went to the front desk and read the notice posted on the door. Ridiculous. The unit is not properly maintained. The dryer did not work, the reading lights on the wall by the bed were one broken, the other missing. stay away from this place it is a disaster.
