Lovely Historic City Hotel

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Mar 10, 2024
We spent 4 nights here at the end of a long tour of Australia. This is a lovely historic hotel in the centre of Fremantle. We were given a top floor room which was clean, large and bright. There was air-conditioning, a fridge, coffee making facilities a safe and a big comfortable bed. The bathroom had a large walk-in shower.
Many reviews mention the noise. We were directly below the rooftop bar on a Saturday night when there was a private function with loud music. However, we knew this was likely to happen as we'd read the other reviews. The hotel provides earplugs which blocked out most of the sound. The music stops at midnight, it doesn't run into the early hours, so there wasn't much of an issue. The rooms are separated from the staircase which improves security and reduces noise from that area. There will always be noise in a city centre, but they do what they can to mitigate it.
The hotel is close to all of the restaurants, bars, cafes and shops of Fremantle. It is also within walking distance of the station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all, we were very happy with our choice.

This was a return visit and we had the same room which made us feel at home straight away.
Lauren welcomed us and was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay.
We just love this historic old hotel and would definitely stay again. No complaints.

Room tip: Be prepared for street noise although the glazing is quite effective.

This is a nice old style hotel, well renovated and retrofitted with an elevator. It has a great bar on the roof with views all around the area, which is near the mouth of the river. It has a bar downstairs that has a good range of beers, including Kilkenny Ale, one of my favourites. Unfortunately, it also has (really lour) live music on weekends. I was on the second floor and there was no way I could sleep until it stopped at midnight. The floor was vibrating and the bass came through the bed. On the plus side, it's in a great area, with lots of excellent cafes, restaurants, and shopping.

Room tip: Don't stay there on weekends if you want to sleep before midnight.

We stayed on a Saturday night. For $315 a night, we found the room to be very basic and not like the ones in the photos so were a little disappointed. We were also between the music of the roof top bar and music of the live band on the bottom floor so didn’t get to sleep until they stopped playing… that should probably be mentioned before booking. Finding the packet of supplied ear buds in the bathroom does not suffice when you are paying $315 a night.

Incredibly beautiful room (1 of only 12) above a pub in the heart of Fremantle. It was a 30 meter walk to my office so location was superb. Had a few issues with a delayed flight but Mitch (one of the bar staff) was on hand to do the check-in and even escorted me to the room as it takes a bit of knowledge to navigate the halls. Great service. The room was a huge corner King suite, superbly appointed with a king sized bed, great pillows, A/C, desk, seating area, TV , beautiful lighting and a large bathroom. Amenities were great including the handmade soap and complimentary bottled water. The drip filter coffee was a godsend- though i would have liked an iron and ironing board in the room as i wasn't around during reception hours to get one sent up. There was no noise from the bar at all. The halls are lined with historical photos and artwork for sale by local artists. Would definitely recommend this to anyone travelling on business or wanting a boutique hotel experience with an awesome rooftop terrace (which i will try next visit).

Room tip: Check in closes around 11.30 so if you're flights delayed have a back up plan or contact the hotel directly.

Take care with this one. We liked the look of the menu and decided to visit mid-week. We went on to the booking app and dutifully booked a table. However, when we arrived, the restaurant doesn’t open on a Wednesday. The website did not indicate that it only opens some days.

Room tip: Don’t rely on the booking app as we booked for a day when it wasn’t open???
