On the money we paid. For one night. It’s the bed that let the place down. Two beds together and hard mattress shame really
View great centre of town. Pleas upgrade your sleeping mattress. For the money you charge and no free parking or extra for a gold member

This is an ageing hotel in need of updating in some of the rooms - old mirrors, bath over shower, old taps, etc - however the exterior was having a face lift whilst we were there so maybe some work ahead on the interior.
Having said that, the staff were great and extremely helpful, the view was fabulous and the hotel very well located. We would go back again.

It has a good position and the pool is nice. Staff are friendly. But the aircon is freezing and there is no thermostat - just 3 levels. The lowest level was still freezing…

Weekly room service, probs not good enough!

The property is in a good location with friendly staff members. The condition of the property is an average because the lights are on even if I switch of the electricity, can't close the shower completely thus water goes out of the shower, moulds or black marks at the shower base, etc

The apartment overall very comfortable although shower in the bath not good for older generation. Couch could be replaced.

We have been staying here on and off since it opened and always loved it. This time very disappointed. They have split the hotel between managed appartments and Accor. No dining room and building has allowed to become tired and unkept. We stayed on 6th floor and had to ensue a horrible noise from the plant room all week. We were told it related to the air con and they were aware of it but no effort to ameliorate.

Booked through wotif and told our reservation was complete and we needed to pay on check-in. At check-in we were told our booking had been cancelled because we didn’t pay a reservation fee through wotif and there were now only 5 non-oceanview hotel rooms available in the whole complex for $400 more for the 6 nights, and no parking included. We were shocked at the extra cost so checked online at accom options and found we were able to book through wotif an oceanview hotel room in the same hotel for $60 more than our original booking. We went to check in again 30 mins later and managed to book our exact same oceanview hotel room we originally reserved. We were relieved we now had accomodation after our initial shock, and paid the extra $19 per day for parking. The a/c broke in the complex and our room was a sauna for one day/night/day but we were grateful to be provided a 1 bedroom oceanview apartment for our last 2 nights.

Despite the fact that there was no restaurant the room was not equipped with facilities to make breakfast. No toaster, cutting board, bowls, sharp knives or spoons other that teaspoons.
The pool was not accessible for aged or disabled. No rails, very high steps, main entry into deep water. Very disappointing and in Perth would be breaking the law.

Great size apartments with nice water views. Very convenient location for shopping, eating and attractions such as crocosarus cove.

Our room was located at back of property with city views but the noise from nearby backpackers property was too loud and impacted our sleep quality. The music subsided by 1am. Apparently no noise was experienced from front of hotel facing the sea. Next time we will select sea views.
Other than that the hotel was comfortable.

It was a quiet spot.
The condition of the hotel doesn’t reflect well on Accor

Hotel was in a good location, easy access to everything.
Very late check-in was smooth
We were able to leave cases in secure room for the day due to a very late flight home
Pool area was average and very few sun loungers provided

We were two singles travelling for a 3 day convention
We were in an 1 bedroom apartment with two single beds. It was fabulous so spacious!! We also were upgraded to an oceanview room which was lovely and quiet. Thank you for a fabulous stay will definitely return again next year.

Good location

I'd read reviews for the hotel and I'd have to agree with them.
The hotel is in an excellent location, was very clean and the staff were very good ( only needed to talk to them a couple of times).
The only thing that lets it down a little bit is the bathroom we had. Good size, but a bit dated. Stepping into the bath to have a shower, and particularly back out when wet, was a bit tricky. The bath sides were quite high.
Would certainly recommend an update to get rid of the bath and put a spacious, easy to access shower in. I'm an active (tradie who works in roofs a lot) bloke, but even I felt a little sketchy getting out of it.
Overall, would certainly stay here again!

Worst hot water service possible! Cold showers were not part of our holiday planning! We were advised it was not possible to fix it.

An overnight stay which backed onto a hotel which was a bit noisy. But great views if you have ocean view. Place needs a bit of paint but room very clean.
4.0
it's worth getting a water view room as the city view room was so noisy from pubs and backpackers from the street below.

It got better but it was a rocky start. 1) notified after cancellation about no pool and daytime construction during our stay and 2) arrived at 1am and key that was left in lock box didn’t work so had to wait for someone to arrive and let us in and 3) when shown the room it was like sleeping in an icebox. James, who let us in, said not to open windows because condensation would occur everywhere and AC did not shut off!!! Awful night. Next day, Angel at reception, got us into better room and comped breakfast but it had been an awful first night. One bedroom (this one with patio door from bedroom as well as living area, both of which we could leave open) worked out much better. AC still couldn’t be controlled well but we could turn it “off” (not actually off though) and open patio doors. The view to ocean was spectacular and the patio large. Furnishings and decor were tired but good enough.

Great location, no housekeeping which would be fine but no cleaning tools in room. Needs pest control, bathroom very old and floor tiles leaking. Very convenient location and good size

Property was basic which was Ok for the cost but needs revamping as seems old.
Also noise with other doors slamming all hours
