Perth Beaches All inclusive Holidays

Spotless room, friendly and helpful front desk

I know the desired "vibe" is that of a cozy, quaint accommodation, but I would rather have less cozy and more comfort and convenience. There's no mini fridge, and our room had only one chair. There was only a bar along the wall to hang clothes. The bathroom was quite large. I'd rather have less bathroom and more room. An upgrade was suggested at check-in for a room with a balcony, but as I saw from the outside, the balconies were tiny and IMO not worth the extra $. I have stayed in many hotels and motels, and I have never been charged for a continental breakfast. For $20+, the charge seemed way out of line - especially for such a limited selection. Having said all that, I really liked the sitting/lounge area. The access to a variety of complimentary beverages was much appreciated. The staff were very pleasant, and the location is very convenient for transportation and eats. It's a short walk to the CBD. As much as it seems I have complained, we did enjoy our stay. Still though, it wouldn't take much to make it an exceptional hotel. Make the rooms more accommodating - add a chair. Add a minifridge. Put in an armoire. Provide a complimentary continental breakfast. Really... those are little things that would make a big difference.

GUS Premium Room on 4th floor of the modern Garde Hotel. Very comfortable, spacious room with large bathroom. Room 414 faced west, so avoided any noise from Freo Social Music venue next door. No noise heard from other guest rooms. King size bed, next to the picture window. I would not recommend this room layout for anyone with mobility issues or poor flexibility - you either have to clamber over your partner or manoeuver around end of bed to get out! No problem for us though. Design is minimalist. There is a hanging rail instead of a wardrobe, and a large single drawer that requires bending over to reach. Free one-off mini bar included in room price, and a welcome drink between 4 - 7pm in Anglesea's bar. Tea & Coffee (pod & instant) available in room. There are complimentary water carafes that you can refill with still or sparkling water in each corridor - great idea, particularly if you're going out for the day! The bathroom is excellent. Rainfall shower (no showercap in room - ask at reception). Deep bath for soaking in, etc, etc The breakfast is continental - fresh fruit, granola, pastries. Gluten free choices available. Cooked breakfast available, but we were too full! Overall, a delightful stay - we will be back.

Comfortable bed Staff were good

Every thing was very nice, the extensive renovation showed. They need to work on the pool, seems to be the only place not renovated.

Very nice Petty about the pool

Room is tired; bathroom is odd with the sinks in the main room; service at the rooftop patio was poor; location in a bit of a rough neighbourhood. Definitely nowhere near a 5 star hotel.
