Fremantle Archway Apartments

Perth

We have stayed twice at the Archway Apartments and have enjoyed the experience on each occasion. Both stays were in the downstairs unit. 
The apartment is located in a gated laneway in the historical precinct and is easy walking distance to the cappuccino strip, markets, fishing boat harbour and most other local attractions. We found the check-in process to be very easy, there is a lock box just outside the gate and the managers communication was always prompt and informative. Inside is very spacious and beautifully fitted out, with all of the requirements for a self contained stay as well as breakfast pack and honesty box for extras such as mini bar items. The bedroom is particularly luxurious and we found everything to be in good working order. 
Whilst I have no hesitation recommending this place, I think that there are a couple of things that may not be to everyone's liking:
If you have a car, parking could be a problem as there are no spots available inside the laneway. If you are sensitive to light at night, as others have mentioned it is impossible to block out all of the windows from the street lighting outside, and if you prefer "natural" ventilation there are no windows that can be opened so you must rely on the aircon. We did also hear noise from the upstairs unit but it was never sufficient to cause any problems.
If you are looking for self contained accommodation in an excellent location I think the Archway Apartments are hard to beat, would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location

I religiously followed the check-in instruction to open the middle key safe, but there was no key in there! I rang up Daniel to try to get the key, he immediately believed that I was in the wrong place. He kept telling me that they have upper and lower apartments with accesses from two different streets, the error came from me being in the wrong place. I told him that I was on Henry St which is exactly what’s printed on the check-in instruction, I opened the key safe with the code provided to us but there was nothing in there, I had only 15 mins free parking on Henry St and we needed to get into the apartment asap, but Daniel would not listen. Fortunately, the guest in the upper apartment saw us, and opened the upper key safe with the code that he had, and found the key in there! Obviously, we were in the right spot but the key was misplaced into the wrong safe.  After being told this, Daniel still didn’t apologize, didn’t say sorry for his misjudgement and harsh attitude towards us, which ruined the start of our stay in this lovely apartment right in the heart of the CBD
The toilet fan is not working properly, it makes really loud coughing scratching noise when it runs.  
The dining guide on the brochure is out of date. The Vietnam restaurant at 55 High St is no longer there when we wanted a dinner there, it was closed down

A spacious apartment with a perfect location but check-in process was dreadful

What a fantastic find this apartment was. Perfect! The decor, the comfort, the location. Everything you could possibly want in an apartment is here,  even The snacks available via the honour system where reasonably priced. 
 We will be returning with the family later in the year, and will definitely be booking this little gem.

Look no further

We loved staying here - the apartment was HUGE and had all you could want for your stay, a full kitchen with breakfast included for the first day, a full size living and dining and generous bedroom. It was incredibly clean and the tastefully decorated throughout, it felt as though we were staying in someone's home. There was a 'mini bar' type system which worked on an honesty basis - $1 for a bottle of water compared to $5+ at many hotel is excellent in our books! The location was fantastic - within walking distance to everything and close to lovely cafes. The only small downside was that you could hear every footstep taken by the upstairs occupants which was frustrating at night but apart from this, we loved staying here.

Amazing location and space.

Husband surprised me with a booking here for a few nights. Stayed in ground floor front apartment.  Very impressed with the spacious, clean and welcoming environment including mood music, lighting and scents on arrival. Also centrally located to enable us to walk around and get to see the beautiful city of Freo. As others have said, welcomed the thoughtful provision of breakfast,basic items such as iPad charger, soap powder etc, and the honesty system for reasonably priced minibar & light snacks if you don't feel like going out for a meal.
One suggestion that would make this apartment close to ideal for most people would be to install a full blind between bedroom and sitting room and blackout the corner part of the window facing the street as there is a street light shining directly through it. We found that the bedroom was too light at night because of the street light and did prevent a sound sleep. If one person wanted to sit up later than the other there was no way of darkening the bedroom, the lighting from other rooms shone through. These suggestions made would remedy the issue easily. The lack of darkness was the only dissatisfaction we had. 
Everything else was fantastic.
There were no noise issues during our stay and some of the permanent residents were very friendly.

Pleasant surprise and great if you're without a car!

Stayed in the lower apartment recently. The host Donna was very nice to deal with and the apt was very clean and tidy. The only downside was guests in the upstairs apartment had young children who simply ran wild. With wood floors every foot step they took we could hear. For the price paid, unsatisfactory.
