Area around the room was dirty ,carpets not cleaned
Shower head was terrible , room was clean,staff seemed uninterested and didnt inform any of the hotels facilities ,
Amazing foyer. Room was lovey. Staff were friendly. Restaurant food was quite nice but service was a bit hit and miss the night we were there. The robot delivering meals was a bit of fun but not terribly effective. Inside the room was very nice but outside needed a bit of attention. Big sliding glass doors needed a good clean and there was rubbish under the outside table and chairs. Location was nice and quiet. Overall a pleasant enough stay.
5 night stay was perfect for my RnR. Based right on the river and easy access to local amenities and CBD. Loved the room and general feel of the place.
The external facilities could be highly upgraded and maintained better. This includes garden and grass maintenance, cleaning of walls, carparks and common areas. Rooms could have more modern accessories including tea and coffee facilities that reflect the room cost per night. More staff on has there appeared to be minimal staff. Would note the staff that were on, were fantastic. The have a table ordering system (Me&U), wasn't functional. Area outside Riverview rooms was dirty, no seperation from adjacent rooms and overlooking a carpark that radiated heat. Overall for the price per night, some serious TLC nees to be applied to get this hotel to what it could potentially be. Also, ordered a kids parmi and adults parmi, absolutely identical. One was $15 and the other $28, underwhelming.
Positives - good bed and bathroom in room was nice. Staff that were on did a great job.
The moment we walked in, was met & felt well looked after, no request was any bother. The hotel is so beautiful, looking over the swan river while having our meal.
Was a unique opportunity, will certainly be back. Thanks to all the staff.
Service and staff was excellent and very friendly we stayed at the Swan River Hotel for a funeral and a wake which was held at the hotel and everyone loved because of the very professional service and staff . Thank you
