Hougoumont Hotel Reviews

Location is smack bam in the middle of Freo, hotel staff were friendly, room was prefect for a nigh out, breakfast was delish and the little bar next door had a cozy vibe with the DJ spinning actual vinyl records, top notch, we loved our stay...no complaints. 100% recommend this hotel !!

Terrible experience with an extremely small room and randomly turned off a/c.

Loved this hotel. I was a little nervous about some of the review/descriptions describing it as shipping containers -- but once you are there, it just feels like any normal hotel. The rooms are compact, but totally sufficient. The design is great, beds are super comfortable, AC worked well, bathroom was really nice. And the service was fantastic. It's a boutique hotel and you really felt the personal touch. They warmly greeted us on arrival, were happy to store our bags, gave all kinds of great advice, etc. On the morning of our check-out, we had to get an early start and hit the road at 7am (to catch the 7:30 ferry to Rottnest Island). Breakfast starts at 7am, so when we asked the night before if we could get some kind of to-go box, the lady at the front desk said she would just arrive a little early in the morning and have everything ready at 6:45 so we could eat something before we left the hotel. Amazing! They also let us just leave our suitcases in our room and said they would bring them down and store them at the front desk. We really felt like they actually cared about us and were willing to do whatever to make our stay great. Highly recommend!

Curtains and carpets in the room are too dirty, the hotel lobby is nice, no eggs for breakfast

Great small hotel in the centre of Fremantle. Not big on space but plenty of little extras make up for it.

We loved the complimentary wine and cheese. No pool or balcony was unexpected for the price of thevwrybasic room

Good feng shui Ideal fuss free breakfast Freely available coffee, bottled water, apples, newspapers, ingormation at desk Reference to history of name

As always never disappoints. Great staff with eye to detail and a great location.

Hotel was perfect for access to everything. Rooms were lovely, only small complaint is wardrobe very high up and unable to reach without standing on a stool. Would definitely use it again

Really great stay and I’d come back. The rooms are comfortable and modern and the complimentary light breakfast and wine/cheese happy hour are nice touches. Quick walk to the beach, local restaurants (great recs from the hotel), and ferry. The staff was very helpful in moving my room due to an A/C issue. My only suggestions are the rooms could use a deep cleaning and please regularly change your filters (they are thick with dust)!

Great location in Freemantle. Friendly staff. Very small room but perfectly adequate

The hotel is a fabulous hotel with very friendly sky staff, great service and a plethora of added benefits such as a glass of wine & cheese plate in the afternoon, as well as a small, but tasty breakfast. Just be prepared for the very small rooms. Ours was on the ground floor and even though it had a large window, was still fairly dark. The room was clean, comfortable and well appreciated, but small. They call them ‘cabins’ and I have to say, they were smaller than the ships cabins I’ve been on. It’s not a criticism- just be prepared. Oh and for shorty like me, the hanger in the wardrobe was so high up, even on my top toes I couldn’t reach! The area is also very good. So close to amazing restaurants and walking distance down to the water. We also took out the bikes (free) from the hotel, which was lovely.

Good position, walking distance to shops and attractions in Fremantle.

Room was much smaller than expected - this is great for one night but not for longer stays - also all the inclusions simply bumps up the price - rather not have bottle of wine and other goodies and pay less
