Aged solo traveller.
Pros:

Great location for The theatre ,Museum,Art Gallery etc. Lots going on here. Train Station,Bus Station as well. Staff were helpful took my case up to my room as the lift was out of order. The Hotel sent me an email to inform me it was not working,which was helpful. Room was nice and clean and bed comfortable that's a plus for me.good choice on the menus.

Cons:

My room was overlooking the road at the front of the Hotel so it could be a bit noisy but was not too bad .

This gem of a hotel is an absolute treasure
Pros:

In the spirit of openness I go to this hotel every week to a regular dance class (Ceroc). Notwithstanding that I do also stay once or twice a year for dance weekenders even though it’s on my doorstep.
This is a gem of a place. It’s over 300 years old. Where else can boast that Bonnie Prince Charlie AND David Bowie have walked through those ancient doors.
It has squinty floors, creaks, probably a ghost but it’s the Sally and I love it. It’s got personality and character. It’s not been painted grey and featureless.
It has the most magnificent ballroom with air con. It has a beautiful restaurant behind that glorious window at the front.
The breakfasts are brilliant, so much better than other hotels with more stars. The haggis is particularly stand out.
They serve the best chips but the food in general is good and wholesome.
The rooms are clean and housekeeping do it right - I’ve slept in other hotels where a sheet has been chucked in the general direction of a bed and told to make itself. Not the Sally. It’s perfect sheets and hospital corners at the Sally.
And last but never least, the staff. They are awesome. Helpful, on it, it’s a joy to watch such hospitality professionals at the top of their game.
Right in the centre of Perth, near the river with plenty parking nearby, the Sally is Perth. It’s fabulous!

Ok for one night when driving through, but I would still stay somewhere else
Pros:

Friendly staff, convenient location

Cons:

Bed sheets were not made of cotton, water in bathroom difficult to turn on, breakfast too expensive for what it was, hotel very old and run down, internet very bad on third floor and I needed it for work so that was not very good.

Disappointed when this was supposed to be a comfortable rest spot after a week of driving and camp
Pros:

Convenient and decent breakfast. Bar and restaurant looked fine but didnt use.

Cons:

No hot water. Was given a key for a room with water but we couldn't get a new room so had to travel between rooms to use in another part of the hotel.
No lift working bit cant be helped.
Smell in the room and big wet patch and discolouration on the floor where someone had been sick or an animal person had an accident.
Bit shabby but could have overlooked that if the facilities and room had been better.

Pessimo, evitate
Pros:

Posizione in centro città

Cons:

Siamo arrivati e l'ascensore era fuori servizio. Ci hanno dato una stanza al 3 piano che abbiamo dovuto raggiungere a piedi e con le valigie. Tutti i piani hanno la moquette quindi immaginatevi lo sporco. Al 3 piano ci accoglie un caldo terribile. La stanza era bollente con una finestra rotta che non poteva aprirsi. Siamo scese in reception e quando abbiamo esposto il problema ci hanno detto: "tutto l'hotel è così, è estate! Se volete c'è un ventilatore nell'armadio (info non fornita al checkin).
Non ci tornerò più
