Esplanade Hotel Fremantle - by Rydges, an EVT hotel recensioner

Our room was quite big. It comes with a queen and single bed. There's a balcony but there's no view. The hotel location is very good You can walk to Fremantle Market in less than 5 mins. You can walk to Kailis Fishmarket Cafe or Cicerello's within 5 mins. It is also very convenient if you are going to Rottnest Island because you can walk to the boarding place near the E Shed Market without having to look for a parking there which is very limited. Well the negative side is parking at the hotel is not free. It is AUD30.00 for hotel guests with multiple entries from 12pm till 12pm the following day.

Location is very good nearby Fremantle Markets, Kailis Fish Market to name a few. It’s a 10 minutes walk from the train station. Need to improve on the cleanliness.

Good for the location. Comfortable bed. Lack of amenities and no complimentary bottled water. No free parking for hotel guest and it’s $30 per overnight stay.

Absolutely disgusted in this property. Charged me, a single traveller, $58 PER DAY for breakfast and didn't even include coffee or omelettes. Has refused to even respond to my emails about this.

There was only one staff member on reception when we arrived and there was a que of people waiting to check in. When we got to our room it was nice however they only gave us three towels for two people (twin bed room). My sister had a shower first and washed her hair, therefore using two towels, then we realised there was only one towel left so called reception to ask for another one to be brought up. I then had a shower and when I finished, we still had not received the towel from reception, so called again and then said they would bring it up. I then took the one towel off the shelf to dry myself and to my horror saw that it was dirty and had a disgusting stain on it!! We called reception for a third time and they eventually brought the towels up - 25 minutes after the first request was made!!! I have never had such appalling service from a hotel that states it is four star service. As we were walking down the hallway we also noticed that the floors were very dirty like they hadn't been cleaned for a couple of days, with food crumbs visible in every spot you walked. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and would tell people to think twice before booking a Rydges Hotel.

This is a really nice hotel. It is a modernized traditional Australian country building. Close to sea, reastaurants and train. Fantastic .

The hotel are generally ok. However, it’s ain’t up to our expectations as the moment we stepped into the room, we noticed that the main light and the lights above our bed aren’t working. Called up the reception and they responded to send maintenance personnel to help us replaced the next day. But, the lights weren’t replaced, repaired even until we checked. Reason of us not calling up the reception again for help is because we felt we might not need it anyway since we will be out the whole day. However, thinking back. The services provided weren’t as good as 4stars.

Couldn’t fault it. Great location and friendly staff. Would stay again for sure.

I would call this hotel "very average" the only good thing it really has going for it is the location which is great. The hassles started when we had a flight cancelled by Virgin. Despite speaking to the manager, the hotel would not credit is for the 1 night lost (or extend our stay by one night). No negotiation. No refund. We had upgraded our room to a pool view. You can see from the photo that it is more a car park view. I can't say I have seen a bigger car park. It was that big it almost shut out the daylight. I did complain and we did get moved after 1 night to a slightly better room. I overheard a conversation from another customer who was similarly unimpressed. The hotel are being disin genuous with their advertising. It's a large conferment hotel with very basic customer service. The breakfasts are average. The rooms are tired Or room wasnt cleaned one day and when I enquired the answer was "they were too busy"!!! I summary only stay here if they're is morning else in female.

Lovely hotel with strategic location. Only issue I have is the bed is too soft to my liking.

A little old.. but the location is good… will consider again

Booked for 1 night only. Room 212. Aircon (heating) not working but the nice young man staff member brought us a heater which was great. A leak in the bathroom from the ceiling which we cleaned up ourselves. The room was good but the bathroom is tired. A nice enough buffet brekky but having to pay extra for a good coffee not good. The staff were lovely but not many around.

Our whole family loves this hotel. Thus hotel is in a strategic location. Walking distance to fremantle market.

all was good, but $5 for a bottle of mineral water (labelled as still water in the mini bar) is frankly ridiculous where most hotel provide them for free.
