- marieke (9/5): -

- Geraint (8/5): -
- Joshua (6/5): -
- Rosalie (7/5): - Central Comfortable bed Four sets of stairs to get to room. Extremely noisy from music below up to 1am. Shower pressure was terrible.
It was near a town clock that chimed loudly every 15 minutes
- Kent (1/5): -
- Peter (4/5): Only average - Not much Poor location, stairway, lack of facilities
- Saia (7/5): - Location Rooms can do with some renovations but it's still ok
- Rach (10/5): - It was fresh, clean and gorgeous.And close to everything we needed.
- Bruce (7/5): - Friendly staff, very clean and tidy room, great location. It is a pub and on weekends is very loud until 1am. Be prepared for that.
Mattress was very very hard.
- Caroline (8/5): -
- Spillane (8/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - I liked we could order food to the rooms and we even brought two jugs of beer up. Smoking was allowed on the balcony. Staff and security were very chill I booked two rooms, one for a single guy and one for a couple, I asked if the rooms were the same and was told they were. Unfortunately the single guy ended up in the bigger room with the bigger bathroom. But both rooms were great. Room key stops working at 10am so if you go out for coffee and don't get back till 10:01am you'll need to find a staff member to let you back in
- Truscott (3/5): Very disappointed - Very noisy. I wouldn’t stay there again. I was given hearing defenders when I checked in! Not good! Most of it.
- Julie (10/5): -
- John (8/5): Convenient lively location in the heart of Freo. - Convenient central location in Freo, room was well presented and comfortable. Not really a complaint but the noise from the bar carried upstairs to the room, however the hotel did provide ear plugs and were upfront about it at check in.
- sabrina (8/5): - Location and style The hotel has a bar and restaurant but they are closed until 12, and so you have no other option than to go out for a coffee of breakfast. That is a pitty
- Lewis (8/5): -
- MIRANDA (7/5): - absolutely beautiful venue. the bar is beautiful and the room was great its very noisy. not for anyone sensitive to loud noises. youre not made aware of how noisy it is until you check in
- Matthew (8/5): -
- Ayling (7/5): - Location, staff, ambience Tends to be noisy, music till late, Garbage truck at 430am staff cleaning etc
- Tina (5/5): -
- Robert (4/5): More "Hostel" than "Boutique". Not worth $200 per night. - Location was great. TV didn't work. No shelves to put stuff on in the bathroom and towels were very abrasive. No heating or cooling. Very loud beer garden until 1am, then people partying on the verandah outside my room until 5am. No lift. Bed was very hard and lumpy and doona was very thin.
- Luca (7/5): -
- Michael (8/5): Great spot, can be a touch loud late at night. - Comfortable bed, spacious rooms and well located. Noise from outside makes its way inside very easily. Depending on which room you stay in, this can make it difficult to sleep when there is loud music and partying outside until 1am.
- Louis tutara (5/5): - Good location easy access an close to the kitchen The last time we stayed here was in December,paid the same price for 2nights,tho the bathroom was heaps smaller and had no space to put our bathroom room stuff an the TV was much smaller,tho it was hanging from the rack
- Kieran (10/5): -
- Tomas (8/5): -
- Sam (10/5): -
- Allan (4/5): - Very noisy due to music in the hotel itself every weekend.

- Rhonda (6/5): -
- Georgia (10/5): Will be back - if the men folk could not piss on the toilets and floors that’d be grand! - Great stay as always! Staff were great, it was a busy weekend for them as well.
They warned me they would be open til 2pm so had to expect noise until then.
Also loved that they can do me a better deal if I book direct 😉 It’s always just the other guests that let the place down to be honest.
No rooms with own bathrooms were available so I had to get a shared bathroom, seems the guys just love pissing on the seat and floor which is rank but not the hotels fault.
- Michelle (6/5): Great price , location and beautiful old building! If you stay in the studio apartment, definitely join in any entertain - Amazing staff ! Great prices ! Studio apartment is so noisy!
Felt like the quiz night was in our room 😝
- Ann (7/5): Good value for money - Spacious clean room in a good value for money hotel/bar/restaurant in a great location in the town centre. The hotel is a late night party spot so you need to bear in mind that there is a lot of noise which can be heard in the rooms. They do warn you about it when you check in and earplugs are provided in all rooms.
- Claire (7/5): -
- Louisa (5/5): My opinion... - Friendly Staff..Excellent Location.
Good Food.I complained about LOTS of dust on Black old curtains, and Wall..They apologized and offered 50AUD..and cleaner TRiED to clean wall.. Room No 4..shared bathroom.
LOTS of dust on Curtains and Dark wall behind Bed.TV went on..but did not work..not a nice smell in room.That room needs a proper cleaning..Carpet on outside veranda needs upgrade.2 Shared bathrooms, but 1 was locked
- Jane (8/5): Definitely would recommend, would stay again - Central to everything. Lovely old building. Expensive to park the car. No lift.
- Marlene Rohlandt (5/5): - Situated place was excellent. Noise...
- Elvin (10/5): - Propre et chambre spacieuse
- John (10/5): Going to Fremantle book here you will love it - Just perfect Everything
- Kelly (9/5): -
- Noel (7/5): Enjoyed our stay - Didn't have breakfast Stairs
- Clara (9/5): Ubiación perfecta, amabilidad de los empleados y gran habitación - Habitación muy amplia situada en el centro de Fremantle. Nos dejaron guardar el equipaje prácticamente todo el día después de haber hecho el check out y fueron muy amables. Además, había muy buen ambiente en el bar.
- Louise (8/5): Fabulous value in an excellent spot with super pub and restaurant downstairs. - Location was excellent, hotel staff and facilities fabulous. Fab to be able to go downstairs from your room to a great pub, bar and restaurant. Comfortable bed and pillows, room was large and had everything we needed. Tea and coffee room along the hall was very handy, clean and well stocked. The noise from the bar downstairs does travel up to the room...but we were well aware that would happen at the time of booking. Noise stopped between midnight and 1:00am as promised and to be honest it really was not too loud. anaged to fall asleep regardless.
- Jo (7/5): Good value, great for central location - Location. So close to all the hotspots of Freo Noise but it comes with the territory so speak.
It's a lively hotel.
Provisions made to reduce noise.
Ideal if you out most of night else noisy until 1am
- Karl Julian (8/5): -
- Amber (8/5): -
- schmidt (10/5): Great location. Last minute booking and staff were amazing. The manager was all over it had us set up in no time top ch - Great location. Old feel hotel . With new feel . Amazing food and staff 10/10 Fire place wasn’t on hahah
- Phoebe (9/5): - Beautiful spacious room
Lovely staff really helpful Just a bit noisy!
- Sandra (8/5): Good but didn’t sleep much due to outside noise. - Good location. Cool decor and building. Was at the front off the hotel and the noise was bad all night. Bin trucks, bottle collections, and the church bell chiming every 15 mins and extra on the hour!!
- Kerry (9/5): -
- cara (7/5): Great location in the heart of Freo - Convenient central location in Fremantle in an historic building Rooms are above the pub so a little noisy
- Angela (8/5): -
- Geraldine (8/5): -
- Mark (10/5): -
- Barrie (8/5): Fabulous Federal - Great location. Nice vibe...lots of indoor plants. Stairs only - no lift. It does make that clear, but I took more luggage than I expected, so that was a pain. Maybe a luggage room or locker downstairs would be good?
- Ignacio (7/5): -
- Anthony (3/5): Loud and noisy - The location within the city was good. The bed was good. On arrival, I was told the staff could not help me if I locked my door card in the room (they said they were not there for that and I had to go to their web page for help). The noise from the bar below, until 1 am on three nights, and 11 pm on other nights was really really loud. They did provide earplugs bythe bed! Sheets on changed and bin not emptied for 11 days. Only fit for backpackers and young party goers, and likely very good for those. Not for families or people working!
- Andrea (8/5): Loved the location. We had a great time and would definitely visit again. - Our room was quite large for a pub stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was very convenient, being a short walk to everything we needed. Our room was 2 flights up with no lift so, it was difficult to carry our bags up 2 flights of stairs however the staff did give us a hand which was great. It gets a bit noisy on Saturday night however the staff did warn us and gave us some earplugs which helped.
- Conor (7/5): -
- Arran (8/5): -
- Robbie (6/5): -
- Hope (10/5): - Everything Nothing perfect location
- Agnew (3/5): Nice location too loud especially at night - Location The room needs to be sound proofed the noise was incredible although warned however that is not the issue when actually present at the property !!!!
- Andrew (9/5): - Staff were great and the apartment was lovely.
We will definitely be back.
- Yara (10/5): -
- margaux (7/5): - Very loud
- Ian (7/5): -
- Nash.Yarov (7/5): - Место расположение.
Общий дизайн.
Возможность потусить. -слишком громко в выходные. Музыка живая бомбит как в клубе в целом до 23.00 что не плохо. Но пока играет ну слишком громко в номере.
- нет кондиционера. И как раз нужно окно открыть вечером для прохлады но не можешь из-за музыки.
- отель вроде прикольный но не удобный. Вот просто выйти посидеть за стол ком вроде можно но у самого номера там криво.
Отдельная претензия к ванной комнате заход ль туда и просто не где поставить вещи положить что то.
- Colin (8/5): - Location
- Peter (9/5): -
- Bats (8/5): -
- Alice (8/5): Velká spokojenost, příště klidně znova - Krásný, prostorný, stylový pokoj v ideální lokalitě Ubytování nemá možnost parkování. Nejlevnější varianta je zaparkovat na městském parkovišti u věznice
- Ayres (7/5): -
- Nadja (9/5): Lovely! Would definitely come - Perfect location. Beautiful building with large beautiful rooms The clocktower / Church is really loud throughout the whole night ringing a bell every hour
- Margaret (7/5): - Location Noisy on a Saturday night
- Ricky (9/5): -
- Pat (10/5): -
- Alessandro (6/5): Good option for one or two nights stay if you plan to move around - Centrally located and for Australian standards it is a historical building. Pub and live music on the ground floor Very difficult to interact with staff members, ofc the place is busy and they do what they can. Because of its nature it is noisy up until the pub downstairs and nearby are open at night.
- Danijela (9/5): Great location, characteristic building. - The room was massive, and quite comfortable.
Full kitchen available but there's so much food around town so no need for a short stay.
Staff at the bar were legends for accommodating our fairly late check in 👌
The location was ideal for getting around. The ferry to Rottnest was super walkable. No mugs in the kitchen and the dishwasher had dirty dishes in it. We only stayed two nights and didn't use the kitchen anyway.
- Emanuele (7/5): - Posizione Bagno troppo piccolo .
Per arrivare in camera , decine di porte.
Un po' vecchio ed arrangiato
Prezzo alto per la struttura
- Palazzolo (8/5): - It was very central. The room was spacious and bed was comfy. Had a problem with the shower head. It had to be tapped to the tikes and we had to hve wster pressure on low so it woyldn't collapse.
Staff tried to fix as best they could.
The manaer offered us a cocktail for the inconvenience as she was not sure how we could get some monetary refund as bookings.com is difficult to contact.
- Phillip (9/5): -
- Prouse (9/5): - Great staff .Central locarion.
- Tracei (8/5): -
- Chiara (10/5): Tutto perfetto - Tutto Niente
- Keith (9/5): It was very enjoyable. - Location was excellent. Could have done with an elevator.
- nicole (8/5): Great location, clean and friendly staff. Would definitely return - Great location. Walking distance to so many cool places, cafes and bars and restaurants. There is no parking on site, However staff mentioned a few lots close by. Just beware of the overnight parking fees!
- Henriette (8/5): -
- Laura (9/5): - Great central location, comfortable bed, great vibes downstairs, helpful friendly staff Bathroom is a bit dated and small, not like the pictures. Wifi a bit slow. It is very loud late into the night but the earplugs are helpful. The clock out on the street chiming every 15mins was more annoying than the party music.
