The Federal Boutique Hotel

Location is perfect if you don’t have transport . Loved the decor and young staff were beautiful

I liked it all. Bar and restaurant on hand and staff helped with taking bags up stairs as no lift.

Staff is great, rooms are clean and it does not get as noisy as it was described

Elevators would be nice. Early check in would be a great addition. Bottled Water for sure

We love Fremantle and wanted to end our 3 months in Australia with a long stay downtown (8 nights). This place worked very well. Inexpensive, in the heart of restaurants and other bars downtown, short walk to the ferries and museums. Staff was wonderful, whether serving us in our room or in the bar/restaurant. Beds were firm and comfortable, each of us had a good pillow and a crap pillow. Responded very well to cleaning requests, no scheduled cleaning except on check out. Accommodations level were secured. Common use balcony to look over the beer garden behind the hotel. Food was surprisingly good. We'd do this place again.

Bathroom was not very good. Skinny, door opened in and got in your way, drain in the floor could get a bit whiffy. Tiny shelf above a tiny sink for storing toiletries. The shower was bad - wide angle needle spray didn't deliver much water, water temperature was difficult to regulate and water went everywhere. We finally got good at sticking the shower curtain to the walls to keep it from dripping outside, but it was a pain. As they mention, Friday and Saturday nights this is a late night party place. Didn't bother us (they do supply ear plugs, but expect this, they are not kidding. Only place we stayed in Australia that didn't have a fridge in the room, the common fridge in the Tea room was quite small and people had crammed it full of stuff and left it when they checked out. They didn't manage throwing out old stuff very well.

History of building.

No lift, my fault for not checking. Bathroom tiny, shower curtain useless to stop water going on bathroom floor. Music went long into the night. Room very basic.
