The hotel is in a good location. Pool area was great. Room was clean and had good amenities. It stated sound proof and block out curtains, however this wasn’t the case for us. The light came in through the door frame and windows as so we were up earlier than I would’ve liked to be on holiday. Also was a bit noisy, but might have just been due to the position of our room as we were near the pool. Overall was a nice stay.

A lovely old colonial looking hotel in a perfect location for sightseeing in Fremantle. Very close to the harbour, prison, station, market and everything else that you might want to see. Parking opposite the hotel will cost $30 AUD and you need to register your vehicle at reception before you park Staff were friendly and courteous and the rooms were spacious and comfortable The breakfast buffet is very generous with a wide variety of choice

We absolutely LOVED the hotel, however certain elements put a dampener on it... literally! The poorly designed bathroom had a shower door that didn't close properly and therefore leaked everywhere. Someone had left wet towels in the top of the cupboard which stunk the room out. Credit to them, they offered to move us but we'd just unpacked and thought the smell would go away. It did not, and we were surprised housekeeping didn't notice the smell. The bathroom was extremely cramped with a huge bath taking up most of the room, the shower wedged between it and the vanity and the toilet placed under the vanity, very strange. Surely get rid of the bath and space things out a bit better. We probably had the worst balcony in the whole hotel. A tiny, concrete thing with no shade so that the metal chairs were too hot to sit on. We did expect more for the amount of money we paid, but I think we were just unlucky and should have taken up the offer to move rooms. The rest of the place was fantastic.

Pleasant stay with very helpful staff and in a great location to enjoy Fremantle and the wider area. Breakfast was great and the rooms were quiet, cleaned thoroughly every day and there was a pool to relax at after a busy day. Whilst the hotel is well run, it lets itself down by being generally a bit run down. It’s well past a refurb and the current owners would do well to do that - it’s listed as four stars but I would judge three better. Carpets are frayed at the edges in rooms, walls with scrapes, bathroom floor tiles ingrained with dirt over the years and the breakfast/lounge areas have tables and chairs of the type you might see in a bingo hall, with the Formica edges coming away on some tables. The gym for the size of hotel is very small and poor, with just three machines, all of which are 20+ years old. A refurb would make this well run hotel a super place to stay.
