    Nothing.

    The staff were so helpful helping with luggage, checking to see if we were okay, giving us good suggestions as to where to go etc. The highlight was having our evening meal on the rooftop watching the sun go down. Service was excellent food exceptional.

    Great location and comfortable room. Boutique accommodation with small number of rooms.

    Wonderful location for my 60th celebration last night. Roof top for champagne and canapés, all pre arranged but a bit unorganised and had to chase up everything several times unfortunately. Long table dinner on the verandah on level 1 was lovely. I set a nautical theme centre piece prior to dinner. Ruby was incredible in the restaurant and worked very hard. The food was fantastic and everyone commented they were happy with their food choices. Our room No 2 was really lovely. Other guests who stayed for the convenience, weren’t thrilled. Rooms small.

    Old-style hotel in the center of Fremantle with excellent rooms

    Reception was not well identified being accessed either through the bar area or via a side door off the side street. It does not seem to be attended at all times and then only by one person who was friendly and attentive.

    Newly refurbished rooms in an old style pub in the center of Fremantle. Generous room size and good bathroom. Close to restaurants and all in all a good experience.

    Very minor, but on arrival into our room it did smell a little "musty" or very stale air. Perhaps open the window maybe an hour before guests arrive??

    The location was central so easy access to various bars and restaurants. The rooms were very nice and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful - highly recommend. My girlfriends were very happy with the rooms I had booked. The balcony was great for a few bevy's and nibbles before we ventured out. We also enjoyed the "live" band down in the bar area on the ground floor - bar staff amazing and great atmosphere!

    It’s only downside is the noise generated by all the action surrounding it due to it being so central. Noisey bars with music blaring until 1am presented a challenge to get to sleep and the ear buds by the bathroom sink came in handy.

    Great location with plenty of options around you to explore. The room was clean, well presented and comfortable.

    I made the mistake of not bringing my own shampoo and conditioner and the hotel did not have good options for my hair and I didn't feel like it cleaned my hair well. Another thing I did ask room service to stock up my waters and I waited for 15 minutes and they never came.

    The location was great and walking distance from almost all the shops and bars. The staff were really nice and would help if you had any questions and the beds were very comfortable as well. I would book again.

    There’s love music every night. While this finished by 10pm the weeknights I was there (so didn’t disrupt me sleeping), it was very noisy in my room. I understand the music may go much later on the weekend, so suggest you check that out before you book.

    Fantastic location in the heart of of Fremantle, beautifully renovated old building and large comfortable room.

    Maybe getting a bit costly. Might be better tariff options if more than one night I suspect.

    The room is quiet and gorgeous but right in the centre of the action.
