The 4 Bed Ensuite categories add private ensuite bathrooms to the shared apartment arrangement. The panoramic versions offer another room configuration for students who are comparing the available layouts.
Shared apartments can work for students who want a private bedroom but still have communal areas within the apartment. The number of bedrooms also affects how many residents share those common spaces.
Students who prefer a private living arrangement can choose from three studio categories:
|

Starting Price |
|
King Single Studio |
From AUD 432/week |
|
Double Studio |
From AUD 432/week |
|
Panoramic Double Studio |
From AUD 432/week |
The studios include their own kitchen and bathroom facilities, giving residents a more self-contained setup than the shared apartment categories.
The Double Studio and Panoramic Double Studio offer alternatives within the private accommodation range, while the King Single Studio provides another layout for students comparing room sizes and pricing.
The main distinction across the Perth Central accommodation range is how much of the living space is shared. Apartment residents use communal areas with their flatmates, while studio residents have their own kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The starting price of a room is approximately AUD 432 per week. Actual prices can vary according to the specific room type, availability and booking period, so students should check the current price when comparing individual rooms.
The facilities at Perth Central accommodation are spread across study areas, shared spaces, entertainment facilities, and practical services. The building gives students several places to work outside their rooms, meet other residents, and handle routine tasks.
Students have access to dedicated study rooms for individual academic work. These provide a separate setting for reading, assignments, and other coursework when students want to work outside their apartment.
The property also has a co-working lounge and meeting room. These spaces can be useful for group assignments, discussions, online work, or students who prefer a more open working environment.
Having several types of study space means residents can move between quieter individual work and more collaborative settings depending on what they are working on.
Perth Central has several shared areas intended for time away from academic work.
These include:
Rooftop Terrace
Sky Lounge
Cinema Room
Pool Table
Podcasting Room
On-site Events
The Rooftop Terrace and Sky Lounge give residents shared spaces higher up in the building, while the Cinema Room offers another option for watching films or spending time with other residents.
The pool table provides a recreational facility within the property. Students interested in creating audio or other recorded content can also use the Podcasting Room.
Regular On-site Events are organised at the property, giving residents opportunities to meet other students and take part in activities within the accommodation.
Several facilities are aimed at everyday tasks that students need to manage during the week.
On-site Laundry
Parcel Service
Bike Storage
The on-site laundry means residents can deal with washing within the building rather than travelling elsewhere. The parcel service is useful for receiving deliveries, while bike storage gives students a dedicated place to keep their bicycles.
Perth Central has a 24/7 concierge, meaning assistance is available around the clock at the property.
Security facilities include:
CCTV
Secure Door Entry
24/7 Hour Concierge
Sonder Safety App
The secure door entry system controls access to the building, while CCTV forms part of the property's security arrangements. The Sonder Safety App provides an additional safety-support service for residents.
A table tennis table is available within the property for casual recreation. It gives residents another activity to use during breaks from studying or when spending time with friends.
The building's shared facilities, including the rooftop areas, cinema room, pool table and podcasting room, also add different ways for students to use the accommodation outside their bedrooms.
The listed rent at Perth Central includes four essential household services:
Wi-Fi
Water
Gas
Electricity
These inclusions mean students can account for these utilities within their accommodation budget rather than arranging separate payments for each one.
The inclusion of these bills also makes it easier to compare the advertised weekly room prices with other student accommodation in Perth, where some utilities may be charged separately.
The location of Perth Central Perth puts students within the central part of the city, with universities, transport connections, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, shopping areas, parks and public services spread across the surrounding streets. For students, this means they can handle many routine journeys on foot or through the city's public transport network.
The property is at 555 Wellington Street, placing it close to several major transport points and within reach of Perth's main retail and civic areas.
Public transport is one of the main practical features of the location. Students have access to several railway stations and bus connections around Wellington Street.
Bus stops around the property include Wellington St, Yagan Square Cat Id 59 and Perth Busport. These provide routes across Perth and to surrounding areas.
The bus network is particularly useful for students whose university campus is outside the immediate city centre or who need to travel to parts of Perth that are not served directly by the nearby railway stations.
Several railway stations are accessible from the accommodation:
Perth Railway Station
Perth Underground Station
McIver Station
Elizabeth Quay Station
These stations connect central Perth with different parts of the metropolitan area. Elizabeth Quay Station also places students close to the waterfront and the southern side of the CBD.
Students staying at Perth Central accommodation can access several universities and higher education institutions across Perth.
The listed institutions include:
The distance and journey will vary considerably between institutions. Curtin University, Murdoch University and the University of Western Australia are located in different parts of Perth, so students should consider their specific campus when planning their daily commute.
The central location does, however, give residents access to the city's major transport network rather than limiting them to one local route.
Regular grocery shopping can be handled at several supermarkets around the Perth CBD.
The listed options include:
Coles Central Raine Square
Woolworths enex Perth
IGA CBD Xpress
These supermarkets cover routine grocery requirements, from weekly food shopping to smaller purchases between classes.
Coffee and quick food are also available close to the property. Little Soho Coffee Co. is located at 555 Wellington Street, the same address as the accommodation.
Other nearby cafe options include Bon Ton and Finns Espresso. These give students places to grab coffee, have breakfast, or take a break during the day.
The central location puts students close to several restaurants and bars.
The listed options include:
KARLA (at Stories)
The Globe Perth
The Best Brew Bar & Kitchen
Mr Wellington
Angel Falls Grill
These range from restaurants to venues where students can meet friends for food and drinks.
For an evening out, options around the property include The Globe Perth, The Royal Hotel and The Best Brew Bar & Kitchen.
Several of these venues also feature as food options, so students can use them for either a meal or a more social evening.
Students living in Perth Central have several shopping destinations within the CBD and its surrounding areas.
The main options include:
Raine Square
Enex Perth
Murray Street Mall
Hay Street Mall
Watertown Brand Outlet Centre
Murray Street Mall and Hay Street Mall are central retail areas with a broad selection of shops. Raine Square and Enex Perth offer further retail and food options, while Watertown Brand Outlet Centre gives students another destination for outlet shopping.
The location means students can combine shopping with other trips into the city rather than making separate journeys to a distant retail area.
Perth Central is also close to several parks and gardens. These provide places where students can walk, sit outside, or take a break from the CBD.
Nearby Parks
The listed green spaces include:
Moort-ak Waadiny / Wellington Square
Totterdell Park
Harold Boas Gardens
Langley Park
Supreme Court Gardens
Moort-ak Waadiny / Wellington Square is particularly close to the property, while Langley Park and Supreme Court Gardens give students additional outdoor spaces around the central and eastern parts of Perth.
The accommodation's central location gives students access to several external fitness facilities as well as the recreational facilities inside the property.
Two fitness options, Society Fitness at TheSwitch and GDS Fitness, are located at 555 Wellington Street.
Other nearby gyms include:
Snap Fitness Perth City
Goodlife Health Clubs Brookfield Place
Anytime Fitness Perth CBD
Students therefore have several options if they prefer an external gym rather than relying only on the facilities available within the accommodation.
For medical requirements, Royal Perth Hospital and Central City Medical Centre are located within the surrounding area.
These give students access to local healthcare services without having to travel far from central Perth.
Students looking for additional study locations can use the City of Perth Library and State Library of Western Australia.
These libraries offer alternatives to the study rooms within Perth Central. They can be useful when students need access to library collections, research resources or simply want to work somewhere different from their accommodation.
Students searching for Perth Central photos can compare the available room layouts and shared facilities before choosing an accommodation category. The property has both shared apartments and private studios, so photographs can help students understand the differences between these formats.
The Perth Central address is 555 Wellington Street, Perth, WA 6000. The accommodation price start from approximately AUD 432 per week.
The property includes Wi-Fi, water, gas, and electricity in the rent. Facilities include Study Rooms, a Co-Working Lounge, Meeting Room, Rooftop Terrace, Sky Lounge, Cinema Room, Pool Table, Podcasting Room, on-site laundry, parcel service, bike storage and 24/7 concierge.
The accommodation range is one of the first things students should compare. Perth Central has two-bedroom, four-bedroom and five-bedroom apartments alongside King Single, Double and Panoramic Double Studios.
Students who prefer shared living can compare the apartment categories, while those looking for more privacy can consider the studios, which include their own kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The weekly price is another factor. The starting price is approximately AUD 432 per week, although individual room rates can vary. Students should compare the specific room type rather than assuming that every category carries the same weekly rate.
The included bills are also relevant. The rent covers Wi-Fi, water, gas and electricity, so you do not need to add these services separately to the listed accommodation cost.
The facilities then add another part of the comparison. Study Rooms and the Co-Working Lounge support academic work, while the Sky Lounge, Rooftop Terrace, Cinema Room, Pool Table and Podcasting Room provide different shared spaces. Laundry, parcel services, bike storage and 24/7 concierge cover some of the practical requirements of living away from home.
Perth Central accommodation combines several room formats with a central Perth location and an extensive collection of shared facilities.
The property is particularly suited to students who want to remain close to the city centre rather than living in a suburban area. Perth Railway Station, Perth Underground Station, McIver Station and Elizabeth Quay Station are all within the wider area, while Wellington Street and Perth Busport provide additional bus connections.
The surrounding CBD also covers many everyday requirements. Students have supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, shopping centres, malls, parks, libraries, gyms and healthcare services nearby.
Within the property, residents have dedicated study areas as well as social and recreational facilities. The inclusion of Wi-Fi, water, gas and electricity in the rent also gives students a clearer picture of the regular accommodation costs.
Perth Central gives students a choice between shared apartments and private studios at 555 Wellington Street, Perth, WA 6000. The accommodation starts from approximately AUD 432 per week, with room prices varying according to the individual category and availability.
The building covers much of the practical side of student living, with study rooms, co-working facilities, shared social spaces, a cinema room, rooftop areas, laundry, parcel services and bike storage. The 24/7 concierge, CCTV, secure door entry and Sonder Safety App add further building services.
Outside the property, central Perth provides access to universities across the city, major transport connections, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, shopping areas, parks, libraries, gyms and healthcare facilities. For students comparing Perth Central accommodation with other options in the city, the room arrangement, weekly price, included bills, facilities, and transport connections are the main details to examine.

Can't give 5 stars as there are pros and cons staying here. Very nice place to stay, very convenient and near everything. Bus port, train station, foods, convenience store everything was under 5 minutes walk away. Access to gym, common areas that you can book and bike storage. Many social events and sometimes free foods too. I enjoyed my 6-month stay here. Had to move out as I can't keep up with the rent anymore. If you decide to stay here, you'll hear lots of sirens in the morning from the street and loud wind blowing on your window. Also please take care of everything and inspect the room for any imperfections after checking in to avoid any troubles when checking out. Take extra care for mattress protector and use double sheets if you can and lint roll the protector before checking out as they will charge you a replacement mattress protector if you left a single strand of hair there. Arrange a pre-checkout inspection if you can to avoid hefty sum taken out from your bonds. Had unsatisfied check in experience because the cabinets in common area and fridge is not clean. To the point that there are moldy stuff inside and the staff told us to clean it up by ourselves. Just Imagine checking in and the fridge is full of expired and moldy stuff from previous tenants still left there (whose tenants also already left the premise) which you are told to clean up yourself, yay 🙌. You guys really should set up an inspection there and arrange a deadline to clear cabinet and fridge too before letting people check in honestly🤦. There are stuff which expires years ago and moldy bread whose mold already matured enough to spit out spores when thrown away. The fridge divider is also full of spilled liquids. Very disgusting indeed. My friend in YUGO Perth had better experience on this field as they checked in and the fridge is clean and clear. Aside from that everything is okay.

Do not stay here! First off, the price for the tiny living space they give you is absolutely absurd. I got over it thinking that was just the cost of living in the city but no. After you pay their overpriced rent they then smack you with every fee they can think of when you move out. Dust on the mattress protector? $40 for a new one. The outside of your door is dirty? The cabinets need a slight dust? The floor needs to be mopped? Charge, charge, charge. We were told before leaving a standard cleaning fee would be applied, but we then got hit with $300 worth of charges. Also their management is a complete nightmare to work with. I left one weekend and came back to everything in my fridge and freezer spoiled. When I reported it to maintenance they told me I must have left the fridge door open. Except the stuff on the freezer also went bad which is a completely separate door from our fridge so that made no sense. Whenever I try to point this out to management they never acknowledge it and just say it was my fault. They also failed to tell us during move in that the AC is motion activated. When I left for the weekend my room reached temperatures up to 38° and spoiled any food I had out. Again management did nothing. The location is not worth the headache of dealing with the people running this place. Find another student housing in the city or stay in another apartment. This place is not worth it!!!

The worst living experience I’ve ever had. They scam students when moving out with excessive fees you can do nothing about and their management is abysmal. Do not fall for the 4.6 star rating, that is a definite lie. Look up their reviews on the UWA Reddit and you will see the true switch. So many issues I can’t even begin to write about on here, if you’re an international student or anyone planning to live here please just trust me and don’t, save yourself. I reached out to try to communicate every time an issue came up and I was always met with condescending replies that basically just said I had to deal with it and there's nothing they can do.

Charged a crazy amount when moving out for cleaning fees, tried to fight it but nothing you can do. Renters beware, they will nickel and dime you for every little thing. Not to mention the dozens of other problems I experienced throughout my horrible stay…
Britt
I love staying here. It is super safe and secure, perfect for people who aren’t used to city life. The building is well maintained and all of the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly.
