Advertised with wifi….there was none
Self parking = on the street.
From my room I had to descend stairs for the bathroom.
I left immediately and expect a refund for fraudulent advertising (wifi not provided).
the property was a history lesson on how to modernise a hotel and still retain all its former glory 10/10.
owners and staff, a big thank for your gracious hospitality.

Stayed here for 5 days and not once my room was cleaned. I had to ask for a new set of towels.
Vicki was amazing, super accomodating and friendly. I was out of my comfort zone coming to Kalgoorlie and didn’t want to venture out but Vicki made staying at the federal feel safe, clean and comfortable.
Definitely recommend
This hotel is a bit of culture shock for European travellers. Shared bathrooms were something I did not expect but I’ve since discovered it’s common in country hotels in Australia. The hotel was being renovated, there were builders everywhere making a lot of noise with machinery early in the morning. Our bedroom at the booking stage was advertised as having a balcony but we ended up with a room with no window! It was a busy time in Kalgoorlie so we could not find an alternative hotel in the town but I think that the hotel should not have accepted guests considering the substantial renovation going on. The one good point was the excellent fillet steak meal we had there in the restaurant when were confined to the hotel during a thunderstorm - best steak we’ve had in months!

Really clean room and has welcoming staff however, the shared bathroom and toilet facilities took me by surprise. Great rates, so I can't really complain.

My visit was possibly soured by the fire alarm screaming all night with no one having a clue how to turn it off.

A blast from the past
Very old design and layout in bedrooms. Squeeky floors, very old doors and windows, drafty. Mens bathroom is very good and reasonably modern. They are slowly doing the place up and modernising the accommodation.
