  Badly in need of a refurb

  02 Dec 2025

  We spent a long weekend in Kalgoorlie and were largely disappointed by the Palace Hotel.Good pointsIt is in a very central location close to the train station (15 mins walk) and other tourist activities.Clean and tidy.There were tea and coffee making facilities (although just basic with instant coffee). Good air conditioning.The food in the upstairs restaurant was fabulous - on the pricey side but worth it. Service in the restaurant was also very good.Our room was quiet but we were at the back of the hotel away from the two main street frontages - may be noisier in the front rooms.Not so good pointsThe Palace is a beautiful old historic building but is very tired and in need of a complete refurbishment - carpet was threadbare on the main foyer stairs, the panelling on the underside of the staircase had fallen off. It is a real shame to see this stunning building fall into such a state of disrepair.We requested a room with a balcony which our room did not have. The sofa was old and ripped in parts, the bed was comfortable enough but made with an old looking blanket which gives off a vibe of being unclean. The carpet in the room was threadbare. It would have been nice to have a bottle of water provided.The curtains did not block out any light and with the sun coming up at 4.45am I would expect better.Although the cost of the room was inexpensive I would have expected a better quality room for this price, or to pay less for a room of this standard. It appeared to be largely booked by mine workers with little to no vacancy and obviously no interest in fixing up for a tourist market.There was no make up or cleaning service provided on weekends, which was not advised by the booking site when we booked (I checked and this is still not disclosed).There is no breakfast option available at all with the Irish Pub downstairs opening at 11am and the restaurant not opening until 5pm. The closest breakfast is a Dome around the corner.

  Disgusting, Noisy, Filthy Dive

  04 Oct 2025

  The worst hotel we have ever ever stayed at. I wish I had read the reviews first!! At almost $1k for the night for the apartment, the floor is the filthiest thing I have seen. There are rags for curtains and there was no mention the room is over the top of a nightclub which went until 2am. We had 4 children and 2 80 year olds with us and no-one slept! The staff could not care and it is a terrible part of town. Our camper had the door ripped open and robbed within an hour of being there at 6pm! I would avoid this place at all costs!

  Amazing Garlic Prawns!

  17 Nov 2024

  I came here for dinner while I was visiting Kalgoorlie and ordered the garlic prawns with rice. It was only $32, was a large serving size and was easily one of the most delicious pub meals I have ever had. If I ever visit again I will absolutely come back here. Excellent!

  Absolutely terrible

  27 Sept 2024

  We were given a standard double room that looked nothing like the photos provided for us on booking.com. The room was claustrophobic and small. There wasn’t a window, even in the bathroom. Is this even healthy??We were not notified of the Gold Bar band/karaoke on the Thursday night so we’re kept awake most of the night. We weren’t told about the Gold Bar nightclub which was scheduled from 9pm Friday night to 4am Saturday morning and we decided to cut our losses and leave before then.
