Pleasant room

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks ago
Good spacious room, comfy bed ( not hard) , balcony, and good bathroom. Had a nice pool area although didn’t use it. Only downside was terrible wifi which was only useful at 6 am. Good location for the ferries to Rottnest, and plenty of eateries

We stayed for 3 nights, have visited this hotel several times normally quite good, but dropped the ball this time.

Our room was located near the outside a/c units which hummed all night, the room itself very dated, needs attention. The room wasn’t cleaned for 3 days, we asked for clean towels on the third day.

Other items missing included toilet brush and bin, I get that they are busy, but attention to detail needs some work, car parking at $30 per night also excessive.

Consider all options when looking at accommodation in Fremantle.

Room tip: Very busy mid morning, no assistance with loading/ unloading vehicle.

This is a good location. Easy reach from train, buses and for trips for Swan River or Rottnest Island. Plenty of places to eat and easy walking around seafront and town very flat. Easy to check into hotel, spacious hotel when you enter, places to sit and relax and options of places to eat. Rooms were good ours had a balcony overlooking pool. Bathroom has plenty of space. Has a shower in a bath which may be more challenging for older people as you need to step up to get in. Shower very good. Option to not have room cleaned $10 a night which helps the eco which is a strong point in Australia. Can store bags on last day if necessary hotel helpful.

EBI- Air conditioning temperamental at best, we did get someone to look at it but ended up leaving patio door open as it gets windy in evenings and was cooler than the air conditioning. The hallway was colder.

Two pools but limited sun beds (smaller pool had 6) other one a few more but by early afternoon none available.

Overall an enjoyable stay.

The front desk staff had an attitude problem on several occasions, especially the local staff. Upon arrival, they couldn’t locate my reservation number, which caused unnecessary frustration. They directed me to a car park with minimal instructions, leading me to the wrong car park. As a result, I ended up paying twice—once for the hotel’s car park and again for the Collie Street car park.

The room was fine, with a small balcony, but very basic—nothing fancy. The back room was acceptable but similarly basic.

Breakfast was adequate, but despite booking for three people, they initially informed us that breakfast was only for one. After pointing out the absurdity of this, they eventually provided three breakfasts as booked. However, they charged extra for cappuccinos, which felt unnecessary given the already high cost.

Overall, this place might be acceptable if it were priced at $200 per night, but at $400, it’s a complete ripoff.

Dear Franck,

Thank you for sharing your experience. While it’s great to hear you enjoyed the room and appreciated the balcony, it’s clear there were areas where we fell short of expectations.

We sincerely apologise for the challenges you faced, these are not the standards of service we aim to deliver and your feedback has been shared with our front desk and management teams for immediate review and improvement.

We also understand your concerns regarding value for money and breakfast charges, and we appreciate your candid insights.

Thank you for staying with us, and we hope you’ll give us the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

Sincerely,
Esplanade Front Office Team
