Not suitable for anyone that has difficulty with stairs as the room are upstairs and there is no lift.

The room was very clean, comfy beds and the bathroom was clean.

a lift would be handy.

The location and the history associated with the hotel and location.

The room was located up two flights of stairs and a long way from the entrance. As there is no lift getting luggage from the car parked in the street to the room was a considerable effort. Parking was also a little difficult.

The Palace Hotel is a historic Kalgoorlie hotel, established in 1897. The building retains its historical charm with furniture and other items reminiscent of the town in the late 1890s. The large loft room had been modernized and a very nice ensuite added, making it very comfortable.

Room was reported to have been updated. It seems only to have been painted and perhaps the carpet. Bathroom was outdated, no storage and shower base needs replacing. At times, baby crockroaches could be seen in the bathroom.

Location was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food at the Palace was excellent.

The hotel was very noisy and the floorboards very squeaky.

The old charm of the hotel and the location. The Balcony restaurant was excellent and the wait staff James and waitress didn't get her name were very good.

right in the heart of Kalgoorlie

The accommodation is very tired and we were staying next to the mining shift rooms where they start at 5am and feel obliged to shout and stomp about - not restful.

The Balcony Bistro dinner was very good.

The room was at street level and there was quite a lot of drunken noise right outside room on the Friday night. Would have liked to be able to watch tv in bed (tv in seperate room) Room was very dark - no windows in bedroom

It’s a beautiful and historic hotel. The bed was very comfy and staff at downstairs restaurant were great, room was huge

Room small; bathroom too narrow. Bed uneven, it sloped in one direction. Noise from the corridor.

Location in the centre of town. Beautiful staircase.

location and atmosphere

Stayed in September 2022

Sadly, other aspects, some unfortunate, some unavoidable, militated against the wonderful first impressions. The room was, and is, as was conventional is those days (100 years ago), very small, but well provisioned in the circumstances. The help from reception (first point of all) was very good, but on the staff side things declined from there. Noting that the Balcony Restaurant was No.1 in the city, we wandered in on an early weekday evening. No one at reception there, we looked at where we might sit (looking for a pre-dinner drink at this stage), we close a table (only three of 40?50? were occupied at that time). Awaiting service, I eventually found someone at upstairs reception, who upbraided me for choosing my own table, explaining at length what suited her routine. Hmmmmm……we waited then at the forbidden table for service, eventually ordering some wine, and chatting away (this was around 5PM). The glass was emptied and I flagged that we were ready to order (there was no bar lounge: one went straight to the dining table). On renewing the flagging, the manageress there said “I’ll be back soon” at 5:02PM. Time went by, others were served and left, and we were forgotten/ignored. After 30 minutes, irritation commenced, and at last a very pleasant young man from downstairs (who was excellent in every particular) looked after us at 6:07PM. The manageress reappeared to apologise and said that she had forgotten us. The food, perhaps unsurprisingly, failed to match its high rating. I dined across the road the next night (I stayed loyal to the wonderful old building and its romantic tale for a second night)

This property is outstanding as a significant heritage treasure, in an era when sadly this term is applied totally inappropriately, often spoiled with the use of the word “iconic”. Its presentation at reception level is breathtaking, with a soaring staircase supplemented by a substantial mirror, donated by a person who was a local engineer, but from the US. This person turned out to be a US president, Herbert Hoover, who fell in love with a local whilst there, and never forgot the lady concerned. I measured the main corridor (of rooms) at 81 metres. This is a local jewel, and I am so glad I stayed
