Hotel berhampiran Galwey Pearls of Distinction, Broome

Staying at a YHA is always a calculated risk but with accommodation booked out in Broome months and months in advance (not to mention the outrageous prices charged in the dry season!!), I thought I would give it a go. Quite frankly, I’ve been mind-boggled by the amount of lazy, selfish individuals (generally late teens/20-somethings) who just leave all their dirty cups and dishes and empty food and drink containers all over the place as well as the filthy mess they leave the kitchen in. The free breakfast items are left open and uncapped or uncovered on the benches, with used cutlery covered in spreads dumped there for all the flies from the unclosed sliding kitchen door to feast on. The milk/butter is rarely returned to the fridge. They never wipe down the mess they make but generally leave it for others to do. This occurs on a daily basis. I can’t imagine the state of their homes! The one shining light in all this havoc is manager Shaun who is always so kind, helpful and accommodating. Apart from all that, the very basic rooms are fine, if minamilistic, and the shared bathrooms are cleaned daily (thank goodness!). There is free wifi but this doesn’t work in the rooms, even the private ones. I have to say this experience has been an eye-opener to say the least.

We went to the Mangrove twice whilst in Broome.We went for lunch the first time and then for drinks for the Stairway to the moon.Firstly its located on a gorgeous part of Roebuck bay overlooking the tidal flats.Lots of different areas to sit,eat or just watch the day go by.The food was good.We had pizza,crunchy chicken,caesar salad and fish and chips to share.Good servings and tasty.The seagulls were a problem though as you couldnt take your eye off the off or they were in and taking everything.When we went for the Stairway to the moon they had a fantastic band playing Groovy Lips.Perfect music to compliment the Stairway.Really enjoyed everything they played.It was quite packed and huge queues to order your meals but they came quickly and looked delicious.Plenty of room for everyone.I was really impressed with our time there.Could be more parking but we still found a spot.

Great views of Roebuck Bay. Very clean & very spacious and located in a great location near Town Beach. Walking distance to Town Beach, China Town / town centre, markets, take away outlets, Matso’s brewery, bus stop – walkable to all the attractions, except Cable Beach, but it is easy enough to catch the bus to Cable Beach, with the bus stop right across the street. It is an older style resort, however very well maintained. The staff are very accommodating and friendly, and no request is too much trouble. The cleaning staff do an amazing job keeping the rooms clean. The living area is large & airy with a couch, coffee table, flat screen tv & dvd player. There are many tv channels to choose from. The kitchen is full sized and well equipped with pots, pans, crockery & glassware. Cooktop, oven, microwave, full sized fridge, dining table & chairs. The bedroom has a comfortable bed, clean linens, in-room safe, iron/ironing board, beach towels are provided. Loads of hanging & storage space. The air conditioning works well and the living area as well as bedroom both have ceiling fans. The bathroom is older style, but very clean & well maintained. Great lighting & a really good make up light. Good ventilation. Good shower pressure and the bathroom has a separate shower and bath tub. The hair dryer is on the very old style attached to the wall – but it worked. The property has a very large pool, gym & on-site laundry. Heaps of parking. Well located & clean and good value for money.

This hotel is in a prime position overlooking the bay. The Tripadviser map in this listing, as seen on my computer at least, shows the wrong position. The hotel is down the end of Weld Street opposite Bedford Park, giving unrestricted views to Roebuck Bay. All the local features are in walking distance as this location is between China Town and the Town Beach and pier. Matso's is nearby and the markets are at the other end of Weld St. It's also just a 20 minute walk to the airport which we did because we did (just backpacks) for a morning flight because we had time. There is a bus stop very near The Conti and the half hourly service takes you through China Town and on to Cable Beach. The Conti itself is a wonderful blend of relaxed efficiency. All staff we met were skilled and friendly. There was no problem that they weren't happy to successfully deal with. We enjoyed the garden atmosphere in the alfresco dining area/pool area/garden area. It just represents Broome rather than what you might get from a modern build. We had two stays there and both rooms were of a high standard and had a private outdoor sitting area overlooking the garden and pool area. It was very relaxing. Overall, it was a great place to stay in Broome.

Oaks Broome Hotel is ideal for a stay in Broome. It is an easy bus ride to Chinatown and other places in Broome. Taxis are reliable.

This is a great place to stay me and my family stayed in a cabin which was very beautiful and clean you could tell how new they were and the shower was huge the water pressure was amazing and it was so warm the pool was good but it was a bit dirty but you could still swim in it the caravan park is easy to navigate as well. The staff were very nice as well, the balcony was great there was a big couch as well as 2 chairs there was also some sliding doors that were beautiful the hallway is a bit little so it is 1 person at a time the cabin is very well decorated and furnished the cabin that we were staying in had 2 tv’s. The Landry was good it was card operated and we had clean clothes at the end of the day it was a great comfy little place to stay would recommend going here.

We enjoyed our stay here and the hotel was nicely located (very near Cable Beach but not too near, and near a nice little corner store which even does lunches) I was surprised that the lifts were not working (not much of an apology on the notices) - and that we hadn't been notified in advance. While we had an offer to help with luggage, many people wouldn’t be able to manage the stairs even with luggage being carried, so I don't know what would happen if they arrived and found there were no lifts! Our room - a pool view room - was spacious and the bed was fine. There’s a big desk and a sofa. The lighting was a bit dim; and all the surfaces were very high - not great for a shorter person. I couldn't even reach the top hanging rail in the wardrobe! On the other hand there was heaps of storage space in both the bathroom and the bedroom. I had forgotten, until glancing just now at another review reporting the same issue, that the toilet bowl was stained; when I reported it the reception person looked at me as though I was mad (no apology - but it was fixed that day!) We liked the pool, but I think for safety the location of the steps within the pool should be made visible from the pool itself. While not heated, the pool temperature was comfortable, despite being 'winter'. We ate in the restaurant one night, and although the ambience was lovely, the choice was limited and the food wasn't great. But it was OK. The breakfast is probably the weakest aspect. The continental breakfast is OK, but with some standard things missing, such as orange juice, and the bread for toast was stale; and you can have a meal cooked to order (but you won't necessarily get what you asked for - and all I got when I commented on an error was a shrug!) The breakfast staff when we were there were offhand and unhelpful, unlike nearly all the other staff at the hotel. I did enjoy seeing the tiny fans rotating above the plates on the buffet! If you eat breakfast outside, beware the birds who will swoop on your food if you are not there. In general we would return, but hope that the breakfast experience improves, and that the room cleaning is supervised (and that the lifts are fixed!) If you are a bit claustrophobic, go for a top floor room, as the copious vegetation, while delightful, obscures the view in front of some of the lower floor rooms overlooking the pool.
