Likes : - location of the hotel was very convenient and walking distance from the eateries and tourist spots - breakfast was good but same menu and initially get bored if eat more than 2 days Dislikes : - parking is not provided by the hotel but given by a third party that cost AUD30 per day but the shutter closes at 10pm - hotel was being renovated and our rooms were just opposite the renovating rooms. Hence, the smell of paint and noise was disturbing. Hotel staff never advised us on this - water was not provided in the hotel rooms and we were told to pay AUD5 per small bottle of mineral water - housekeeping was below zero. Bedsheets were not changed but just neatly put up every time. Toilets and bathroom was not clean thoroughly - had to check out early at 1.30am. Had advised the hotel staff a day ahead about the early breakfast arrangements but the hotel staff never got back to us and on the check out time, they refused to give a refund stating that booking was made via Expedia Very disappointed with the whole booking

Central location - walking everywhere. However, inadequate staff to handle peak hours where large quantity of cruise passengers arrive and depart. Ridiculously priced for a very old and rundown hotel with out of date facilities. It's 222 Australian dollars for our first night and then 388 dollars for the night before cruise departure. We think the hotel is ripping people off. Do not stay there if you can find any other options. Uber is cheap and convenient in Fremental.
