酒店位置很好，设备也齐全，枕头非常舒服，有共享厨房，酒店风格也很酷

Cons:

实在太吵了，楼下是一个酒吧，闹到凌晨，然后两点多种开始清理垃圾，几乎整晚没法睡觉，如果不是专门玩夜场的建议不要住这里

Nice location but uncomfortable
Pros:

Location is good and staff are friendly.

Cons:

The hotel doesn't have a carpark and the overnight parking opinions are expensive. Really loud to stay there, they give you earplugs, but they don't block out enough noise. The bed was old and not very comfortable. We both slept really poorly.

Awesome but cold in room
Pros:

Was a great stay and budget friendly , but I got the rooms to back of hotel looking over beer garden , no heating and was very cold and tv not working . All though I’m certain the rooms in main section would have been a lot warmer , I’ve stayed same rooms in summer and thay were perfect as coldness of rooms then obviously isn’t a problem . Cheers

Cons:

Heating /apart from that no problem at all

Pros:

Fantastic location in the centre of Fremantle. The heritage touches are exquisite, and we love that there are books from Elizabeth's bookshop in each of the rooms that we've stayed in.

Honest review. Staff and bar are great !!!
Pros:

Staff and location

Cons:

Super small tv in room.

The bed is verrrrrry squeaky, not a sex bed at all 🤣

The tea room had no bowls or cups or spoons.
Weird thats like a minimum for the money I spent staying here. There's also no casual chill TV room for guests. Just your smaller room. And a tea room with no cutlery.

There was no extra blankets for when it got really cold.

The shared bathroom was ok just old but the shower curtain was so annoying, it would blow onto you as you had a shower, had no space but to be touched up by a wet curtain as I showered.( gross..)

The overall review is - its just old. Carpets old everything is old and not really maintained its just cleaned.
The pub downstairs is super nice but honestly would love to se them throw some actually money into the people that are staying there.
It seems to be the case for all fremantle hotels and backpackers. Very high price but no money going back into the rooms or shared spaces for guests.
