Esplanade Hotel - Fremantle, Perth, Australia

View of the hotel at sundown

This is a hotel that looks magnificent on the outlook. Something that I would relate to our own Raffles Hotel back in Singapore.
The Colonial architecture painted in white adding to the already majestic look overlooking the beautiful Esplanade field.

Sadly enough, it ends there.
The moment you checked into the rooms, all that expectations fade away. Pooof!!

Rooms
Fully furnished, slightly jaded but still in good shape.
The carpets though are much less to be desired, if you do have dust allergy you do have to be careful while staying there.
The toilets are alright as well, something that you will find similar to any Holiday Inn or Ibis.

Depending on the allocation of your room, if you are unlucky enough to be facing the road, do expect noises from the cars, drunkards walking pass your room

Deluxe Room

Cost
It may appear cheaper around AUD200/ night (depends where & how you booked it) but there are some hidden charges that you would have to be aware like the overnight parking (Valet) will cost you AUD30/ night.

Ammenities
Internet wifi are free only up to 1000MB.
Hotel bikes are chargeable by the hour.
Laundries, they do have a communal area for you to do your laundry with coins or you can do the housekeeping way with higher charges.
Decent pool size, not sure if it will be heated during winter, so I can't comment much here.

Pool

Breakfast normally doesn't come with the room charges, but if you do want to, it would amount to AUD30/ head. I would suggest you eat out at the local cafes which are better and cost less as well.

Restaurant
