Thomson Bay Tours

Not sure why this is called a boutique hotel, as it’s really a budget motel. Zero decor in the room. Zero ambiance in the “restaurant” area. The place is designed around an (open to the rain) central passage that resonates noise of folks coming back drunk at night (and they did). Can’t imagine how annoying it would be if folks were sitting out at the benches and tables. There are two incredibly bright undimmable overhead lights in the room and no lamps. The bathroom smelled musty. The shower couldn’t keep a stable temperature at all. Honestly only 3 stars because the bed and pillows were brand new and reasonable. Otherwise, book somewhere else.

Great hotel location for exploring Fremantle. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. Easy to walk around and get to local experiences such as the prison, train station, harbour for boats to Rottnest Island and walks along the esplanade. Comfortable room with tea/coffee and fridge in room. Shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in super bathroom. Buffet breakfast available for A$38 each which we didn’t experience as lots outside to eat at.
