Cute and cosy

Our first time staying here and what a joy ! We got there about 6pm so had to wait for bar staff to be free to help us check in but once served the staff were great! Very helpful and great instruction.
We stayed in Rosie's room, close to the stairs but the perfect room with a street view. Love the old original floors in the room! Decorated well and the mattress was super comfy!
Shared bathrooms were clean and modern enough for me !
We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Such a bargain, great value for money !

The staff were so accommodating! I was able to check in a little early which was VERY much appreciated after such an early flight. They also held my bags for me for basically half the day after I checked out.
The room was very cute and full of character. The shared bathrooms were very clean and never once was an issue.
The ONLY thing I would caution is that the room are above the hotel's bar and restaurant. It's very loud at times if you're sensitive to noise and try to go to sleep earlier than 11:00pm.

Some people may be put off by the \"shared bathroom\" and that's probably a good thing, because those people will miss out on staying at this little gem!

We stayed there recently for 2 nights over a Thursday & Friday night. The staff were friendly and welcoming, very relaxed vibe, beautiful venue.
Upstairs rooms were all large to very large, air conditioned, ceiling fans, king size beds, warm bedding, bar fridge, etc.

Really surprised they had bathrobes and slippers - more than most \"real\" hotels have!
Loved the building it was in and the rooms were amazing. The bathrooms were very clean and generally had them to myself (as did my partner in the female bathroom) Multiple showers & toilets in the shared facility so no issue there either.

The only thing I would mention is that while the rooms were far enough away from the main bar areas, and the patrons & staff were respectful, there was a little bit of noise that filtered through - soon as I popped ear plugs in fell straight asleep.

We ended up staying again on a Monday night and as expected there was no noise, no need for ear plugs.

Food downstairs was great, wide selection of craft beers, ciders etc.

10-15 min walk into \"Freo proper\" which was nice to walk off the dinner & Drinks when we hit up the breweries nearby.


Absolutely loved our stay here and would DEFINITELY recommend.

Fab Freeo

Nice old hotel in the south part of Freeo. There was a good buzz & vibe in the hotel and we eat & had a few drinks after touring the sites of the city, on a hot day. There was a private function in one of the rooms, so music did go on until about 12:00. Not a big problem for us on a Friday night, but they have regular music; so maybe not for you if you want a quiet early night?

Great location and friendly staff! Heads up to future guests, the bar doesn’t open until around 10 (I think) so there isn’t anyone to check in if you arrive early in the morning.
The hotel was exactly what we expected in a great location with local flair. Even with a bar downstairs open late, it did not disturb us one floor up.

Just south of the main hub-bub of Freo, yet within walking distance or free bus service. The ambience of the hotel is purdy special and genuinely friendly staff. Good food and drink. The accommodation is superb. Spacious room, a desk to work from, clean amenities and plenty of lounge space just for guests. I was never disturbed from whatever was happening downstairs, and most convenient for good food and a few drinks. Full marks for The Local!!
