We liked how close the property was to the town center and ferry terminal, approximately 700-800m.
Esplanade Hotel Fremantle - by Rydges is located in the heart of Fremantle, overlooking Esplanade Park. 20 minutes' drive from central Perth, this hotel offers 2 outdoor pools and a fitness center.
Located in the heart of Fremantle, The Federal Boutique Hotel is just across the street from the Town Hall and the visitor center.

The place is in the heart of Fremantle, which is good and bad. You are close to all bars and clubs, so do not expect a quiet environment. On top of that, the hotel is above a bar. It's not a regular bar but a bar with loud music and a dj playing most of the evenings.
The staff just arrives around 11 (when the bar opens), so, if you need anything in the morning, it gets difficult. Communication via booking or email was poor. For example, the Internet wasn't working and took 2 days for me to get a reply. And it remained unsolved. I got the impression that the attention is given to the bar and the rooms above are just extra business.
The bed was conformable but bathroom in need of a renovation.
Hougoumont Hotel Fremantle is a unique, boutique hotel, purpose-built using innovative sea container construction. Fremantle Prison is a 10-minute walk away and Fremantle Markets is a 5-minute walk.

The rooms were comfortable and modern.
The small touches of free light breakfast, afternoon tea of cheese and wine and free coffee were a nice extra that added to our enjoyment of the hotel.
The hotel is in walking distance to the ferry, attractions and restaurants.
Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.

Nice room, lovely welcome drink and breakfast at the bar.
Rottnest is a WA treasure. As soon as you step off the boat there is a relaxed, cruisy vibe that is divine. Quokka are incredibly adorable. I do think Rottnest accommodation is extremely overpriced. It is cheaper for us to take our family to Bali than it is to visit Rottnest, which is a shame.

Rottnest Island is a "must do" if you are in Western Australia. The resort/nature preserve island is just a fabulous place to visit. Hints: the island is NOT flat. Try to get an ebike to explore the island, esp. if you're used to one, or aren't an avid bicyclist! You cannot rely on Pedal & Fin to have ebikes so try to get that arranged through one of the ferry services or providers BEFORE you go to Rottnest. Bikes and feet are really the way to get around the island and to visit its various beaches. The bus is a one direction loop so can take a while... Great places to snorkel, with "snorkel trails," although in Sept. the water was too cold for us. The main grocery story has just about everything, food, wine to snorkeling equipment and souvenirs. The Bakery is good for breakfast through lunch. Note that if you are staying overnight in Rottnest that dinner offerings can be limited and expensive. We chose the pub food at the Hotel Rottnest for dinners. Also, don't forget the walks and talks provided free by the Rottnest Foundation docents. Daily, and great fun! You will find all that information at the Visitor Center.

Disgusted at the state of the Quokka and how visitors and Rottnest staff treated them. We witnessed very unhealthy Quokkas eating paper and rubbish. We witnessed visitors feeding them all kinds of food not suitable for them, people kicking them out of the way, touching and patting them despite countless signs not to do this!! A ranger even drove past some Asian women feeding and petting a Joey in the mother's pouch!! The mother is likely to discard the joey and it will not survive! My last visit to Rottnest was in the early 2000 and I am shocked at the decline in numbers. It is offensive that the tourist operations and ferries exploit the Quokka by using warm and fuzzy pictures of them to advertise and lure visitors to the island.
The island has become an exploitative money making venture, the amount of accommodation on the island now is obscene. It takes away the beauty and the nature from the island. The island, nor most of the visitors, have no respect or regard for the history, flora and fauna that was Rottnest Island!!

Rottnest Island is just beautiful, the many bays are outstanding. more suited to those who are able to walk or cycle, although the hop on/off bus is a good alternative. If toilets can be installed, then so should water stations. The issue with Rottnest is the cost - OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE. EVERYTHING on Rottnest is overpriced, it is becoming a rich man's playground.
Had need to visit the medical centre. 1ST CLASS, very impressed.
Overall, a beautiful place , becoming out of the range financially for people.

While nature, the ocean and the views were spectacular the facilities and amenities need maintenance and attention, the administration of accomodation of individuals need to be clearly understood by Guests in a shared amenity and facility setting. My response to these facts can only be explained in feedback and concluded, have been overlooked and somehow accepted as the normal but lead to Guests stays. compromised both mentally and physically.

Rottnest is very relaxing and has maintained its unique identity and charm without becoming over commercialised. The quokkas are the star attraction but lots of other interesting activities on offer. The bike riding is also great exercise.

The Samphire is a good hotel: comfortable, with helpful staff and good rooms and beds. It is also just a short stroll from the Ferry jetty. Upon arrival, your Ferry operator offers to drop your luggage directly at the hotel (a paid service), and it will be waiting for you in your room after check-in. The luggage will also be delivered back to the Ferry operator at your departure, making it a seamless process.
Amazing facilities. I thought it would be like camping but was honestly better then some 5 star hotels I’ve stayed at. Location was perfect. Our cabin was close to the pool and a 2 minute walk to Pinky Beach and lighthouse. convenient for catching the sunrise. staff were super friendly and helpful. Even gave us tips where to go for the most magical sunset.
Luxurious property with amazing staff that went beyond expectations to help us and make us feel at home. In particular, both the staff working at reception and the cleaning lady were great. The pool was nice, as were the drinks at and around the hotel. We got lucky with complementary bubbles and oysters
We were very disappointed that breakfast was not available at Pinkys. The "10 min walk" to Geordie Bay took us more like 20 mins. The breakfast wasnt that great, so we didnt bother going on the 2nd morning. We paid instead for breakfast at Dome.
