Spinifex Hotel

You get what you pay for. The rooms are small but full self contained and adequate for a single.

Floor carpet was not clean. and the bedding did feel too old.

We had a two night stay here. Our first night was in a downstairs room where the toilet plumbing was leaking across the floor into the shower area, also causing an awful stench. The hairdryer was broken with exposed wiring and the lock safe didn’t work. After complaining to staff we were allocated a different (upstairs) room for our second night. The handles of both the kitchen sink and the shower fell off during use. The toilet cistern wouldn’t refill so we were unable to use the toilet. We would never stay here again!

The lady at reception was nice but some of the other staff were quite rude and condescending. There is also a motion sensor in the room that turns off the aircond if it doesn't detect any movement after a while, this is ridiculous as it is very hot in Derby and for the price of the rooms it should be a given that they are always cool. The pool was also out of service due to a possible contamination but there was not enough notice or information provided to us or other guests. The rooms while clean need maintenance, example changing door handles chipped paint updating linen not using the backup room blanket. There should be appropriate linen on the beds. (the linen you see in the photos is not the linen you get. also the balcony door is not very secure potentially could be left unlocked and given the high crime rate of the area is a huge risk. Unfortunately, there are not many other accommodation options in the town so the hotel is able to charge ridiculous prices that does not have the service or quality standards to match. This also means quests will continue to stay there. It would be nice to stay there for once and not have any issues. I feel for the Manager as many of these things are fixable but seems the Owners don't care so doubt anything will change.

Oasis in the desert Just had an amazing stay at the Spinifex Hotel in Derby, WA. The place is spotless and offers all the amenities you could need. The food in the restaurant is absolutely first-class! The staff are Super friendly and welcoming. If you're in the area, this is the place to stay!

Disappointed this time round Lovely friendly receptionist. Disappointed to find our washing machine/dryer out of order despite paying extra for room. Had to use coins in general laundry and the clothes came out worse than when they went in. Usually we are more than happy with our stay at the Spinifex.
