Staff courteous and helpful. Linen clean, bed comfortable, A few problems: bathroom door did not close; no plates or cutlery (though decent wine glasses were provided); entry door was hard to open (it needs new rollers); window and door frames shabby; caulking and skirting boards chipped and scuffed. There was one delapitated and uncomfortable cane chair. Basic maintenance and painting needs attention.

Very scruffy in my room. Desperately needs good clean and refurbishment. No where to hang clothes, no suitcase stand, curtains did not close properly- lack of privacy. Television not working. Very poor value for money. I will not recommend this hotel.

An overpriced hotel with run down rooms in desperate need of refurbishment. Luggage had to be left in a cramped reception area till rooms were ready. Despite a welcome note prior to arrival stating how helpful they are, staff were not able to provide any info about the area and bus timetable given to me was out of date. Bathroom was particularly shabby. This place felt like a backpacker hostel, not a $300 room. Not recommended even though the location was great. All staff were overseas travellers and although pleasant had no real interest in providing customer service.
I will not return to this hotel.

In all fairness, this was high season so prices were probably elevated and affected our expectations. However, having grown up with very little, I know it doesn’t cost a lot to keep something clean. And when you’re running a business, it should still be maintained well. The door to our unit would not close fully—left about a half inch gap. The ceiling fan wobbled so much that it seemed like a hazard to anyone sleeping underneath it. Both of those could be forgiven if they were the only issues. However, the room was incredibly unclean, especially the bathroom and shower area. I am bald and my wife is blonde and yet the shower was riddled with long dark black hairs not just in one spot but at least half dozen or more spots in the shower and on the bathroom floor and on the toilet. This was a one night stay so there was no sense in complaining and trying to move when we only had a few hours before our flight the next morning. But the pricing was exceptionally high for an exceptionally poor experience. I will say the little pool area looks very inviting and charming. We didn’t have time to use it however. I’ll also say the front desk staff was very friendly, patient, & helpful upon check-in.

no body lotion/ hairdryer/ no plug in the sink
lighting was terrible / colouring on the TV was dreadful

These rooms should be at least $50 cheaper considering they haven’t been updated in decades…very shabby, although the bed was clean and comfortable. The tv remote was very difficult to navigate, and I was unable to locate any of the streaming services that were available in the last room I stayed in here. There was also no compendium anywhere in the room to assist.
Otherwise, location is good…right in Chinatown and close enough to the airport to walk if I was so inclined, however I used the airport transfer service gratefully.

Food ok, bed comfortable, but that is the best we could say about our stay.
We had a superior room at $409 a night, and it was like a cave with a view of the swimming pool, there was nothing supplied apart from tea or coffee, a basic motel has better room facilities .
We were kept awake for three nights, Thur, Fri and Sat, by bands from hell, we wondered how much they were paying the hotel for playing there.
The advertisements for the hotel were nothing like what you get, the room was a bitter disappointment, and the fees and taxes are not included in advertised price.
Our room wasn’t even secure when we got there, the door locks were just about to fall off and the security chain was not attached to anything.
All in all a bitter disappointment.

Checkin was okay but room was in dire need of a Renovation and the shower was disgustingly full of mould and fans covered in dust. I tried to move rooms but was told I couldn’t. A deep clean was promised but never happened, in fact the room service left me short of towels which I then had to follow up. Verandahs and grounds grubby with rubbish laying around. At $350 a night a complete rip off.

Booked this hotel for one night due to flight changes & the fact that we couldn't get an earlier night at the hotel where we were booked. Staff were pleasant but the accommodation was below standard. The furniture was minimal & would have been rejected by the Salvation Army. The fridge wasn't clean. The toilet had a green rim around it from the toilet freshener.

central to all amenities. missing opportunities

I have been staying at the Roey on average 4-6 times a yr for a of minimum two nights each time since 2014. it is beautifully conveniently placed hotel central to all one could wish for their Broome Experience. However it has grown tired and in its rooms tardiness and customer service.? The cleanliness of the bathrooms has slipped considerably. ie : around all sink faucets in every room I have stayed in they have not been unscrewed for yrs & the GRIME is very noticeable! all being the accommodation is adequate it too needs could do with some loving attention. Having only one of the Pool GATES OPEN? may be convenient for staff but is unnecessarily inconvenient for top end Quests . the closure of the pool at night is also a unnecessary inconvenience?. in the heat of Broome I & other quests like to swim either late into the night and early morning. There has never been to my knowledge or experience of the party shenanigans of The Roey . indeed one is fortunate these days to even see more than 3/4 other Poolside quests? in it's heydays.unlike it advertising there is always plenty of rooms for rent in the Pools accommodation area. and over the years at all times of the week there has always been plenty of empty rooms .I truly like staying at the Roey.. yet though my comments may be seen as down grading they are only meant to remind the owners! quests still expect the cleanliness and pool experiences to cater for their convenience which could be greatly improved.

Very disappointing. A very noisy room that had mould on the wall in the bathroom obviously because the exhaust fan doesn't work and the shower floor felt slimy under foot. Some people might have said they are going for the rustic look but realistically the couple of sticks of furniture need to go to the tip. Minimal security, nowhere to put your suitcase but on the floor, no wardrobe to hang any clothing and the pillows on the bed had plastic protectors so wake up with a sweaty head!
