Staff wonderfull, but the room floor squeecked when you walked in the middle. Didn’t bothered me but late at night it may disrupt below neighbour’s sleep.

Norfolk Hotel
It's all about the price. I can't afford high priced accommodation. They gave me a clean and comfortable room with a shared clean bathroom, with parking in a well located part of Fremantle. A free drink at the bar too. I don't need penthouse luxury, I want value for money. Satisfied.
