Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel had its perks, like nice corridors and a balcony overlooking the pool, but the view of the multistory car park wasn't ideal. The pool area had some maintenance issues with mildew, and the overall room setup needed updating.
As a genius guest, my stay at the hotel was mostly positive. The rooms were pleasant, clean, and well-equipped, although a bit far from the reception. The service was a mix of super helpful and friendly staff, but there were some instances of less-friendliness. The location was convenient, but there were a few improvements needed for a fully satisfying stay. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and overall, the facilities were sufficient.
The hotel offers rooms with quite a nice view of the park, although in need of a good renovation. There was minimal evidence of any sustainable consideration. The rooms were bright, light, and modern with contemporary furniture and a view of the pool, but proximity to a main air conditioner unit on the top floor may be an issue.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with good basic amenities, but the view was disappointing, facing a brick wall and industrial air con units. The service was extremely helpful and accommodating, making my stay enjoyable. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the university and the railway station. The dining options were a bit limited and overpriced. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
I just stayed at this hotel, and it's got some good and not-so-good points. The rooms were comfortable, although they could use a bit of sprucing up. The location was superb, right in the heart of Fremantle, with lots to do around. The service was top-notch, especially the valet parking attendants. However, the dining was a bit basic for the price. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was in a great location, ideal for exploring Fremantle and close to various eateries. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, felt a bit tired, with minor maintenance issues. The service, though lacking enthusiasm at times, improved with prompt apologies and solutions provided. The dining options were limited but satisfactory. Overall, a convenient and decent stay with good value for money.
The hotel was nothing like it was pictured, and our room wasn't ready initially, but that was understandable due to staff shortages. We paid extra for a room with a view, which had a great breakfast but had some missed services. The location was fantastic, being right in the heart of Fremantle, but the dining experience had a lapse with one night closed without explanation.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was fabulous, with easy access to the vibrant attractions of Fremantle, but the rooms didn't quite match the advertised photos. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making up for some other shortcomings.
Our room was extremely tired, with a balcony that had a moldy and uninviting view over a car park. However, the location was great and the room itself was clean and comfy. The staff were very good and helpful in assisting with our planned proposal. The dining options had a big choice but lacked the best taste. Overall, the hotel needs a makeover and the parking situation was a bit off.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was generously sized but smelled of cigarette smoke and made me uncomfortable for three days. Despite being a bit stuffy, it wasn't very clean and had a strong vomit smell. The service faced some issues, like difficulty finding keys due to blocked cars, but the staff tried their best to handle it under challenging circumstances. The location was convenient for exploring cafes and the high street, although the pool closure was disappointing. The dining experience was overall good but on the pricier side. The hotel facilities were average.
The hotel had some issues with the rooms, such as being small, dated, and lacking drawer space, making it not worth the high price. However, the service was exceptional, with staff being nice and helpful. The location was fantastic for accessing various attractions, although the bar area could get crowded. The dining experience was good, but there were no toothbrushes or toothpaste provided. Overall, the facilities needed modernizing considering the booking cost.
The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Fremantle, making it easy to explore the markets, restaurants, and harbor. The rooms are spacious and clean, although lacking balconies or views. The service was overall pleasant, though some staff members could use improvement in public interactions. The dining offered a good range of cuisine but could have more options for dietary restrictions. The location is perfect for accessing all that Fremantle has to offer, but occasional private functions limited the access to certain areas. A nice and comfortable stay overall.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was nice, clean, and located at the rear with a view of the pool, which made it quiet and relaxing. The service was exceptional, with everyone being very helpful and friendly, especially at the reception and concierge desk. The location was excellent, with good restaurants nearby and a lovely balcony overlooking the park. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel was beautifully clean and offered very spacious rooms with lots of small touches, such as a speaker for your mobile phone. The price was fair for the quality and size of the room, although it may be a bit higher compared to other places at the same price range.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet, located at the back of the hotel on the second floor. The amenities like the poolside drinks bar were very good, although some areas looked a little tired and could use refurbishing.
