Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were compact but modern with a marble bathroom and a very comfortable bed, although they were really tiny. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing a casual charm and excellent service. The location was amazingly comfortable, with everything needed for a night's stay, and it was an excellent spot to explore Freemantle and use public transport. The dining experience offered a simple but tasty breakfast, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel feels like a cozy cabin on a cruise ship, offering extremely comfortable rooms with small yet effective shower rooms and nice amenities. The staff are fantastic, quick to assist with any request, and very kind and helpful. The location is perfect for those who prefer walking to explore restaurants and attractions, right in the heart of Fremantle but tucked away for privacy. The dining experience, while satisfying, could benefit from more variety in breakfast options. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were modernly decorated and clean, designed to fit everything in for two people and luggage. While the rooms were a bit small, it didn't bother me at all. The location was fantastic, making it easy to access all of Fremantle by foot and enjoy all the nearby restaurants. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff ready to assist with any needs. However, the dining experience could have been better with a few more options. Overall, the value for money was great, considering all the amenities and the prime location.
The hotel has deceptively small rooms that are very overpriced for what they are. Despite the lovely and comfy bed, the front desk service lacked customer service skills. On the upside, the welcome treats and house wine were a nice touch, but the parking fee was an unexpected downside.
The hotel location is awesome, so close to the heart of Fremantle's pubs and restaurants. The rooms, although smaller than expected, are unique with a glass cupboard posing as a bathroom. The service was outstanding with lovely and friendly staff, offering great value for money. The dining experience was light and excellent, offering an array of toasting options and preserves. The facilities were well-maintained, making the stay comfortable and convenient.
The hotel's location is perfect, just off the main street in Fremantle, with easy access to cafes and restaurants. The rooms, although a bit on the small side, are clean, but there is a slight stale smell. The service from the concierge staff was friendly and engaging, with helpful information provided. The dining options, while minimal, are suitable to start the day. Overall, a convenient choice with some room for improvement.
