What a find! Location was right in the middle of the Street Art Festival. The staff went above and beyond helpful to a couple of people who had no idea of Fremantle and the Festival that was on over the Easter weekend. Room was large and very light and spacious and incredibly quiet considering the outside entertainment. Would not hesitate to staying here again.
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.
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.
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.
