Reviews for Esplanade Hotel Fremantle
Carol-Ann Coad
Booked two rooms and had a one night stay here with friends. We attended a function at Fremantle Sailing Club, returned to the hotel just before 11.30 intending to have a nightcap before returning to our rooms to retire for the night. Nope! The bar was closed and no-one in sight except for two tables, one of 5 and the other of 6 people who said they would have liked more beers but the bar was closed. Very disappointing indeed. Whilst we were chatting to 3 girls celebrating a 21st birthday we were approached by a staff member who told us to keep the noise down. As we were leaving to go back to our rooms a couple of ladies were going to play the piano and were told by another staff member to leave the piano alone. It's a Saturday night. People are out and about celebrating whatever occasion brings them to Fremantle and a night away from home at the Esplanade. A night in a backpacker's hostel probably would have been more fun and a hell of a lot cheaper. We won't bother coming back to this particular establishment in Freo, we'll go somewhere else where we're made to feel welcome and can have a late nightcap. No complaints about the comfort of our room, just the "hospitality" (or lack thereof) provided. PS...........we are all well into our 70's - not a bunch of yahoos looking to create havoc!.

Unfortunately the bath room floor had long black hair left behind. Pretty clear the bath room floor was not cleaned. Other than that the towels were lovely and soft and the bed was very comfy. Staff were nice and when I informed them about the hair they were very apologetic and offered free drink cards, which was a nice gesture. It’s a great location with everything you need walking distance. We had dinner there the fish was beautiful fresh and tasty.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Honestly, the rooms are so dated it feels like a 2 star Motel. Rooms are stuffy, all walls are chipped, carpet old, bathroom so dated. Stayed in a 2 bed room. 1 very small table between 2 beds with a lamp on that both beds cannot reach???? Stayed for 2 nights for $800 and honestly feel sick that this is what we paid for such a place. Room also has a “balcony” but very small no chairs and right on the road / footpath so super weird to stand on balcony and watch people park and get out there cars. Worst hotel have stayed in for money spent. Please read this as your sign not to stay here. Staff were lovely, nil complaints on service. Edit: also wanted to add, the rooms were so hot and air con didn't work in room. We spoke to reception who changed our rooms and it was exactly the same. This was middle of winter. They did give us fan’s to use for the room and said that there were a few complaints of hot rooms. So if you are a hot sleeper… I would try somewhere else.

For $350 a night in a “king spa room,” I expected at least some level of quality. Instead, this stay was a major letdown. There was no bathroom bin, no toothbrushes, no toothpaste, and no extras in the room at all not even bubble bath for the spa, which makes the whole “spa room” label feel misleading. The view from our window wasn’t pleasant either; instead of something relaxing, we were looking straight out over a bare rooftop. At this price point, you’d reasonably expect attention to detail, basic amenities, and at least a touch of luxury. Instead, the room felt stripped back and impersonal, with nothing to justify the cost. Very disappointing stay, and not somewhere I would recommend or return

Was there overnight due to having a 50th nearby, Loved the hotel, the room, personal service and views of the pool, great place. Only thing I wasn't happy with is the room was stiflingly hot, turned the thermostat down to 15 before we went out, got back to a horribly hot room at midnight, turned it off completely and had to wedge open balcony door. We got told in the morning we should have requested it set to manual otherwise it stays on a pre set temp for entire hotel. would have liked to have been told on check-in.
