$50 for breakfast is about right for a 4* and above hotel. It's a complete ripoff most of the time and unless you're completely exhausted who wants to sit in a hotel any longer than they have too. I remember work trips in Eastern Europe, they were giving me 50 pounds per diem. Considering a bottle of vodka in a pretty nice restaurant cost 4 pounds, I was living like a king!!!
Perth is well-known for having very high hotel prices. It's reported all the time in the news where they show some average hotel room in the CBD that costs more than similar rooms in Manhattan.
$50 for a day's food expenses is pretty low. You can do it if you traipse around and look hard for deals but like you say, when you're on business you don't have time or energy for that. I was getting $80/day in Melbourne. Much easier to do, I had left over money most days.

Perth is ridiculously overpriced generally, not just the hotels. What's worse is the food is pretty mediocre.

I'm starting to hear the international tourist business is drying up in Australia.
I think people could understand Manhattan or NYC as it is a world capital in a sense, but Perth?
By comparison the $56 a day per diem I get here in the USA, will buy a very nice fillet steak for dinner at Outback with potato, salad, bread and drink, a nice sandwich or burger for lunch and a breakfast of bacon, eggs, toast and hash browns.
LOL poor Perth.
I found a good place! in that london court thingy, can't remember the name of it though.
It's pretty bad though when you have to hunt around for a decent cup of coffee! I guess I can live without coffee but the food is what really gets me. I'm surprised fondue and prawn cocktails aren't still on the menu!

They are. I've had them both here in Oz and in the US in the past few years, at friends' houses. It's retro, so it's cool again. Well, almost.
