The European Hotel, was formerly known as Miss Maud's and with its buffet and cake shop was something of an icon in central Perth. The location is excellent, and for us being within walking distance of the central railway station was important. It is an old hotel, which has a certain charm, and the furnishings in our room had some very special touches.
My concern about the property is to do with its age, being (I believe) of timber framed construction, and somewhat of a rabbit warren: My guess is that it is a conglomerate of multiple old buildings. Passage ways are narrow for a hotel. Although only three stories high (we were on the first floor) I felt uncomfortable that it is more vulnerable to fire than a newer building of concrete and steel construction. The rabbit warren nature of the hotel would make it quite confusing to exit in a hurry. I went so far as to explore the fire exit route posted clearly in our room, and was not overly comforted that we could safely exit the building in the event of a fire.
