The hotel was older and our room was on the main floor street which was noisy. Staff was just okay. No free bottle of water in the room. Pool area was nice. Location was good. I think it would have been a better experience if we had a different room.

Tried to call the hotel was put on hold for longer than 35 minutes, which I don’t think is acceptable and then at the end of the day the call was disconnected. Could not get hot water when I went to take a bath shower in the evening ran it for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Still no hot water. I think the hotel is overrated. It’s old needs to be updated.

Have stayed several times at the Esplanade, this time was the most expensive and least satisfying. The room was clean and spacious (no balcony or view though), but there was a series of things that just should have been better: noisy people in the corridor, the aircon with almost zero airflow, the door which wouldn't close properly (and the maintenance guy who came to fix it pounding on the door at 8am), the delivery which was not passed on, the coffee supplies not replenished... For the price paid, it was disappointing.

We had a few events in Fremantle over the weekend. To avoid travel and for a treat, we booked a "Superior" room at The Esplanade. We also pre-paid breakfast. Our room was basically in the lobby, it was the nearest room to the main desk. The noise was constant, loud voices and banging etc non-stop until around midnight. It then resumed at 6:00 am. On top of that, the cleaning crew were vacuuming outside of our door at around 2:00 am. So next to no sleep possible in that room. There was no view from the window, it was blocked by a tree. It was a nice tree, so fair enough. However, the windows was so dirty a view would have been wasted. When we came to check out, I mentioned these things to the staff. Their response "Well, did you specifically ask not to have those things". Like we should expect that experience in a "Superior" room in a 4* hotel. On top of that, we were given a bill for having coffee with breakfast. Pre-paid breakfast does not include coffee. Superior price; inferior experience. Very disappointed.
