Reviews for Esplanade Hotel Fremantle
Lionel Patrick
The hotel is fantastic. My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and the location was minutes away to many great eateries, market and the coast area (where we had Kailis' fish and chips). The rooms are quiet, clean and the spacious. The only issue I had was that the balcony door's lock wasn't working and one could actually climbed through the balcony from the neighbouring rooms (if bold enough). I did not make a fuss of this tho, and did not lost anything or felt unsafe during my stay. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay/sleep here.

Rooms are outdated, mould in the bathroom, walls grotty, food & drinks at the pool very limited/basic! Poolside bar not open at the time 2pm! Expected a bit more for $317 a night to be honest

This hotel needs to be changed to 3 star hotel and the only reason id keep it that high is for the location as that is the only thing you’re paying for. Before we even entered our room we were greeted with an empty pint glass outside the door, then entered to iron burn (that had been painted over) on the carpet and black mould in shower and electrical cords everywhere. I immediately requested a room change we were “upgraded” to a higher floor with a bigger bed but still mould/ black gunk in the shower, hair that was not ours all over the bathroom tiles, tape holding together roofing, stains everywhere, $2 shop quality outdoor furniture, rotting nails, discoloured bathtub, spiders in the hallway. Everything is just worn out and dated it urgently needs a refurb. Not to mention our TV didn’t work we called reception were told maintenance would come ASAP and hour and multiple unanswered calls later were told by someone else maintenance wasn’t actually working that day. When someone finally came up I told them not to bother. It was a weekend you know you’re going to be busy, roster accordingly. I will say staff were friendly and that was a redeeming factor. So to recap when you go to pay $300 odd a night to stay here you a paying for location NOT quality. Photos are from the second room we were “upgraded” to. Also a note to the hotel I see you’ve had numerous comments about the state of the place namely the mould maybe time to stop giving the generic “thanks for your feedback, sorry for your experience” reply and actually do something to fix it? Just a thought..

We stayed for three nights. Location is fantastic, staff are lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is so easy to get around the area. The rooms are nice, the beds are comfortable. We were surprised at how quiet the hotel was even though it was busy. We weren't disturbed during the night with noisy guests. Our only criticism is that the bathroom needs updating. There is no extractor fan in the bathroom, and a note to keep the door closed as the steam could set off the smoke alarm. Also a worry is mould on the upper wall and ceiling. An upgrade of the television to a smart tv would be a good idea also.

Context: family of 4. 3 year old + 1 year old. Stayed here after a 5 hour flight. Really easy to get to from the airport. The room was large and housed us comfortably. The food was great for both dinner and breakfast. And the service was good, though at dinner the kids could have been served faster.
