Reviews for Esplanade Hotel Fremantle
Philip Jury
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.
Violet Candy
We arrived to a clean and well-appointed room in a fantastic location, perfect for exploring various attractions, including dining and entertainment. The pool facilities were excellent, with convenient poolside drink service and room service available around the clock. We also appreciated the option to forgo housekeeping on certain days for added incentives. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back again.

Pros - Comfortable and clean, helpful staff and easy parking. On site restaurant and Bar. Well appointed mini bar and nice room service menu. Cons - No microwave or toaster, no ventilation in the bathroom. Shower over tall bath onto tiles and misplaced handrail makes it potentially fall risk. Expected much more.

Luckily we had just one night stay with them. The room was okay, comes with a sad balcony. There’s two plastic chairs and some trash on the balcony, that’s what makes it look sad. Had to shower in a bath tub, not ideal for elderly as it is quite slippery. No toothpaste toothbrush provided. Tried calling the housekeeping number but no one is picking up. Also asked for two pairs of slippers from the front desk but the slippers are way too small for adult to fit in. Room is pretty aged, sound proofing is definitely not working. I can hear the conversation of hotel guest who walked past our room pretty clear. No free parking, gotta pay for street parking otherwise you can park in a building which is at subsidized rate provided by the hotel. Breakfast buffet was ordinary, definitely not worth the price, just the plain old baked beans, sausages, bread, fruits and yogurts. Should have had my breakfast at local cafe instead. All in all, I had high expectations for Esplanade after all it is run by renowned hotel management but it failed me quite abit. Giving two stars because of the good location.

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.
