Excellent value for money. A slight let down having only ceiling fans on a 37 degree day but the cool breeze at night made it comfortable. A good place to stay but a lot of walking.

A hidden gem for backpackers in Perth
If you're willing to travel while you're in Perth this the place to be. The campus vibe is refreshing at the end of the day and makes it a pleasing place to recharge. Whilst on site, check out the Murdoch Library for getting some work done and exploring the wealth of knowledge. The accommodation is a shared house style. Bring your own washing detergent if you wish to use the on site laundry ($3 for the washer/dryers each) If you require EV charging there is a charger near carpark 13 (see plugshare - you'll need to get in touch with the REV Network at UWA to use it). The EV charger is a 20 minute walk from carpark 6, so plan accordingly. If staying again I'd bring an electric scooter or similar. My only disappointment was the lack of sustainability incorporated into the accommodation. Suggestions for improvement include EV charging in carpark 6 to encourage students and visitors to utilise EVs and also the implementation of a 3 bin system for the share houses. I will definitely be staying again and thank all the helpful staff at the Murdoch University Village who were always willing to help and very friendly. See you again next time!

Crocroach infested. No clarity about checkin procedure. Had to find security to show me checkin location after 25 minutes driving around. Thought I would need to get another hotel as contact no had no response. Would have been solved with a map of where to go. No net. No tv. Accom looked generally nice and modern but counted multiple cockroaches in all rooms every time they were entered, including the shower. Could have been excellent value but these issues bought it down below acceptable limits.

my expensive mountain bike was stolen from the bike rack on my vehicle in their car-park by thieves that cut through a heavy chain securing it to my vehicle. When I informed the office I was told that this had happened a few times before and that other residents had their bikes in a secure bike storage building. Why was I not warned, and why are there no camara's if its happened before?

Rooms are basic, however the shared kitchen area had over flowing bins. I know this uni residence has a quick turn around of visitors but the communal area was not serviced. Aside from that the room was very affordable. Great for a few nights while studying.

Very very unhappy
Checkin at 2pm on a Saturday. Office locked, on-call staff didn't respond to phone calls for 25 mins. When they finally came out, my room hadn't been cleaned, and the replacement room had no key for me till 9am Sunday; they opened with a master key. Stuck inside all day n night on Sat night. Housekeeping staff took all my food out of the fridge and 'we'll look into it!' Which didn't happen. My room was 175/2 in case Murdoch tries to say I am exaggerating. Would I stay there again? Not sure...

didn't realise 1 room connected to 5 others. Don't know if I really like that. Had to pay $50 bond, was told that would not come out of my account unless the vacation wasn't satisfactory. Left everything perfectly in order yet the $50 has been withdrawn from my account, and to date not re- credited???? Would appreciate a credit soon as possible.

This represents outstanding value for money. It's cheap, convenient and fairly comfortable. The rooms are cleaned regularly, but cleanliness of the kitchen depends on the habits of those which whom you are sharing. It took me several days to reduce a plague of cockroaches to bearable levels.

Shared Apartment, Clean and Comfortable Room
A share apartment with 5 bedrooms, you'll be sharing with other guest. apartment is nice and clean, room is clean. Take note that it is a university accommodation for students so do expect to have students around the area. It is basic, does not have much like a hotel but for short stay, it is okay. Also the accommodation has a North and South side.

Good Value for Money
Was looking for a decent place which wouldn't break the bank and I wasn't disappointed. With most options, you'll probably get a bedroom with a shared bathroom and kitchen facilities (including oven, stovetop, fridge and towels etc). Room was spacious and bed was decent. The walls could have done with repainting and the bathroom needed a clean, but for this price in a shared apartment, you can't expect too much. I should also mention that someone misplaced my Wotif payment, so I had to pay on arrival and get refunded later. I don't know if this was Murdoch's fault, but thought I should mention it.

Good Value and safe if need cheap accommodation
Would recommend staying in the North apartments as they are newer and more comfortable. They cost only very slightly more than the South apartments but the difference in cost is worth it. The North apartment set up is pretty good with 5 lockable rooms and a shared kitchen and lounge room. I've stayed here a couple of times now when I had to be in Perth for uni and didn't want to spend a lot of money on accommodation. As each room is lockable your gear is safe in your room when you are out and if you need to work / study the rooms have good desk space.

Budget accommodation acceptable for the price.
University area, outside CBD but OK if drive. Public transport acceptable. Lounge is a bit dusty. Cleaners come every three days only. Bathroom door lock faulty and fixed just before we left. Worst is the radiator provided in each room. Preset to switch off after 2 hours running. Though switched on again, but can't stand the chilling in these 2 hours. We ended up buying our own to keep us warm. But the Residential Assistant or RAs are much helpful and friendly.
