GUS Premium Room on 4th floor of the modern Garde Hotel. Very comfortable, spacious room with large bathroom.
Room 414 faced west, so avoided any noise from Freo Social Music venue next door. No noise heard from other guest rooms.
King size bed, next to the picture window. I would not recommend this room layout for anyone with mobility issues or poor flexibility - you either have to clamber over your partner or manoeuver around end of bed to get out! No problem for us though.
Design is minimalist. There is a hanging rail instead of a wardrobe, and a large single drawer that requires bending over to reach. Free one-off mini bar included in room price, and a welcome drink between 4 - 7pm in Anglesea's bar. Tea & Coffee (pod & instant) available in room. There are complimentary water carafes that you can refill with still or sparkling water in each corridor - great idea, particularly if you're going out for the day!
The bathroom is excellent. Rainfall shower (no showercap in room - ask at reception). Deep bath for soaking in, etc, etc
The breakfast is continental - fresh fruit, granola, pastries. Gluten free choices available. Cooked breakfast available, but we were too full!
Overall, a delightful stay - we will be back.
