Top hotels in Cooloongup
Garde Hotel and Warders Cottages
We stayed a few nights in Warders Cottages and one night in the newer Garde Hotel - the rooms are very different but both high quality and nice touches such as still & sparkling water on tap and a free mini bar selection. If you like character then go for the cottages as the room in the main hotel ...

Gallery Hotel
The manager went above and beyond to ensure that I had a good stay. I really appreciate the effort put in on such short notice. The cleaning staff was very helpful with my enquires about finding my way around. Thank you for putting up with me being a diva. 😅🙏

Atrium Hotel Mandurah
Staff seemed nice, clean premise, normal motel I guess. Small bug with me is staying at what appears to be a nice place but everything outside the front door is on you, example, the parking! If there’s a couple of hundred rooms & 15 car parks……. You can park anywhere but we’ll take nil responsibility ...

Tradewinds Hotel Fremantle
The 1am pool party didn’t help sleep. Room too close to the laundry machine noise. Good car parking and bar . Good river views and breakfast. Balcony room recommended for another stay. Close to Fremantle and Swan River.

Room was very good, reception were great. Location excellent but one disappointing aspect was the building work being undertaken on the beach front
