What guests think

Travellers praise The National Hotel for its central Fremantle location, beautifully renovated heritage character, friendly service, and comfortable, well-appointed rooms, with many enjoying the lively on-site pub and rooftop bar for drinks, views, and atmosphere.

Repeated comments note nightlife noise from the pub, rooftop bar, and nearby streets—especially on weekends—though some rooms are well insulated and earplugs are provided. Rooms are often described as spacious, stylish, and comfortable, with some offering balconies. Other occasional notes include a lift outage and crowded elevator at peak bar times, tricky parking, and one report of a pricing discrepancy. Expect a boutique stay with energetic surroundings.

Excellent accommodation. Spacious clean and modern room Accommodation is above noisy pub but on third floor we did not hear much of that - but we did hear the rooftop bar above us! Sharing the one elevator with streams of incoming and outgoing rooftop bar patrons was a nuisance

This is a great old hotel, which has been well maintained and renovated. Renovations include an elevator. The rooms are spacious and clean, and it's quiet most of the time. The exception is weekends: there are live bands playing downstairs, and it's really noisy. The bass and drums were vibrating through the floor and bed frame (my room was on the second floor). It didn't stop until midnight,, and I was jet lagged from my flight. The area around the hotel has lots of excellent eateries, cafes, and shopping, including a walking mall across the street.

Beautifully renovated old building. The rooftop bar was great! Stunning views and sunset with a cute bar. We will definitely be back!

The property is comfortable and conveniently located in the heart of the town. There are many fantastic options for dining, coffee, ice-cream and shopping on the doorstep of the property. Staff are very helpful. Unfortunately the lift was broken but the staff were only too willing to help with transporting our luggage the three floors to our room. The public areas of the hotel are a little tired but more than functional The rooms are excellent.

The room was so nicely appointed and comfortable in every sense. Plus having the foyer outside the rooms mean no immediate neighbors. The only issue is the parking is a bit hard but got there in the end.

Rooms

Rooms are often spacious, stylish, and comfortable, with features like balconies, bathtubs, and effective glazing that keeps some rooms quiet. However, recurring nightlife noise from the pub, rooftop bar, and nearby streets—especially on weekends—can disturb sleep in certain rooms.

The hotel itself & the room were beautiful. The hotel bar downstairs had a live band playing & was very loud until after 11.15pm. The hotel provided ear plugs but it would be nicer for staying guests if the band finished earlier & hotel guests were prioritised over the bar. We chose not to stay another night which was a shame.

The server Belgium that served me dinner and the British server for high tea were fantastic. The room was relatively well muted from all the noises on the street. Some sounds can't be silenced.....

Room was large, bed ok, pillows ok, they need to put a handtowel hook near the basin if you want to improve the bathroom :) Thank you

The room was spacious and nicely furnished, big bathroom, all in good condition. Very friendly and helpful staff all round. Unfortunately we were on the third floor just below the rooftop bar and 2 of our 3 nights were severely disturbed by very loud dance music which went on until 1.30am. Earplugs did not help at all. What could have been a great stay was spoilt.

This destination was inspired by an episode of Travel Guides Australia and it certainly didn't disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed the Deluxe Queen Room with a balcony. The rooftop bar was awesome and the meals were very good. Location is in walking distance of most activities. The only issue we had was that our stay coincided with a music festival that kept us awake for a good chunk of our first night. Presumably this was a one off. Lauren in reception went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.
