we stayed here 30 years ago...
but wouldn't recommend it now...
way out priced for the standard
300 + bucks for an old - outdated - poorly presented room
only soap, shampoo and conditioner supplied
no body lotion/ hairdryer/ no plug in the sink
lighting was terrible / colouring on the TV was dreadful
the 'old' Roey is definitely that!

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.

Avoid if you can

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.

Two nights had disturbed sleep with next door occupants drinking alcohol outside our door and one Thursday night with the Wet T Shirt function at the hotel which went very late and the noise echoed through walls of our unit. The desk and side table were made of chip board and peeling off; basin tap leaked and shower was hard to adjust at even temperature.

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. The floor of the shower was also mucky. For $200 a night I certainly expected more.

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!

Everything was fine excellent until I realised I had left my apple I phone 6 charger plug there in the room. I called the hotel the very next day to tell hem the receptionist said yes the housekeeping staff had found it and that they would send it on to me I was very happy because this phone was only one week old I had worked hard to save for it and decided I could only afford the iPhone 6 instead of the later model I phone 7 though I was very happy with it and was particularly delighted it had a bright blue light shining when plugged in and charging inside the plug itself ,well I waited for 5 working days as I had only moved to Derby not far from Broome then I phone reception again they said the mail was leaving that day so I was happy with that I received it the following week 2 working days after I called the plug looked the same though when plugged in there was no bright blue light I believe it has been swapped or mixed up with another plug I rang reception again and spoke to another nice lady she assured me she would get onto it and I patiently waited and waited and she never got back in touch with me I now have returned to the East coast they have my email all I wanted was an explanation of how my plug became mixed up and maybe have the correct one returned to me I just want them to know ime not stupid I know what I had I asked my husband and my son they both confirmed my plug had the blue light so sorry I have to report this but something went wrong here at the hotel.

Very good value,well located,Happy to return again

The Roey is straight dealing good value for money against the tourist priced alternatives in town. Benefits are being in heart of Chinatown, and with the pub Bistro at hand for excellent quality and value meals. The swimming pool area very nice is a real plus and a surprise for pub accommodation ... but necessary in the climate.
Saturday night the musical entertainment in the pub didn't abate until 12:45am ... which is probably great if you are listening to it and bad if you are trying to sleep. Saturday was the only noisy night.
The noise and vibration of the security gate crashing shut is a real problem and needs to be taken seriously and sorted ... until it silently \"clicks\" shut. The automatic closer needs adjusting to control the close rate of the gate, and the frame of gate needs modification so it doesn't have steel crashing against steel ... nylon contact dampers ?
Suggest spend some money and fix it properly.
