Beautiful hotel in a great position!
Pros:

This property is beautiful. The hotel foyer, restaurant, bar and rooms are exceptional. The staff were always lovely and professional always going above and beyond if they could.
The position is great as it’s directly opposite the Esplanade park and a short walk to the shops and eateries.

Cons:

The parking is an issue (in fact it is everywhere in Fremantle) but fully understand that this is outside the hotels control. They’ve done their best to get the cheapest rate for the guests at a nearby parking station ($30 per day) and this is the cheapest rate trust me we checked! However it is inconvenient to constantly walk up and down stairs to the car spot at the parking station and the parking on the roof is not undercover.

Ok but not worth the upgrade.
Pros:

The location was amazing. Room was big and bed comfortable. Breakfast was great

Cons:

I upgraded to a king spa and only 2 spa jets worked in the spa bath. The bathroom was very dated as well.

I doubt I will stay again
Pros:

Breakfast was nice but find it ridiculous that you have to pay for a coffee

Cons:

Have stayed at this property over the years & altho it was nice eas disappointed at the fact that there is no longer valet parking & no off to take our bags to our room .. I was my mother in a wheelchair & would have appreciated help … it was one of the reasons I chose to stay here as on previous occasions the help has been outstanding

Un très bon choix
Pros:

La façade est d'époque mais tout le reste est bien d'aujourd'hui et très agréable. 2 jolies piscines pour se délasser après Rottnest island, avant de repartir parcourir cette charmante ville. Bon breakfast avec même une barista pour les amateurs de café
