Fabulous Freo stay in prime location
Pros:

We loved our recent Fremantle stay-Cay! We and another couple booked this property largely due to the fantastic location but also the aesthetic appeal – we were heading to Republic Gin bar and dining at Vin Populi’s which were in walking distance - and we just loved the little extra touches, like the wine and cheese at Calamity’s next door, easy parking option, the cute café across the road for a coffee, and the complimentary breakfast! The hotel is around the corner from the main Fremantle strip, and High Street shopping area,,,it is the perfect location.
The hotel lobby is really nice, staff are professional and welcoming, the room we stayed in was really clean and neat, nicely decorated.

Great stay – quiet, clean and friendly
Pros:

We had a really good stay here. The Hotel is quiet with no noise, yet still close to the city, which was perfect for us. The rooms were clean and well kept, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Breakfast was simple but good, yogurt, muesli, bread with marmalade and Nutella, juice and a nice cup of coffee. Nothing fancy, but everything you need.

Every day from 5–6 PM they offered complimentary drinks and snacks, where you could enjoy a draft beer or a glass of wine together with cheese and bread. It was very cozy and a nice touch that made the stay even better.

Thank you for a great stay!

Set sail for great sleep
Pros:

This boutique hotel is a great base for Freo, well-positioned between the train station and the centre. The shipping containers have great sound proofing and are a charming gimmick in a port city with extensive maritime history and whose most famous sculpture is constructed from containers. The room was cosy but not cramped, with luxurious toiletries and lots of freebies on offer. Highly recommended.

They get everything right!
Pros:

In a world where hotels are designed by people who never stay in a hotel, this place really focuses on its guests and gets it right. We stayed in a new Haus suite which gave us space, had a small kitchen and lots of storage - you don't realise how much you need a wardrobe until you've stayed somewhere that only offers you four hooks and a shelf!!. It's a ten step walk to the main hotel where the lovely friendly staff have that can do, warm attitude that is missing in so many places you can easily pay a lot more for.
We arrived after reception had closed, but our entry instructions were clear despite our jet lagged brains, and we even had a cute welcome message in the room.
Breakfast is basic but enough, and there are loads of cafes nearby if you want more. Our booking entitled us to happy hour wine and cheese at the small bar next to the hotel - a great way to start the evening.
If we ever return to Fremantle, the Hougoumont will be our first choice for accommodation. Make it yours.

As above. It’s a great place to stay. 5 stars.
Pros:

I loved staying at the Hougoumont! The location is near to fabulous restaurants and transport. The atmosphere is tranquil, with lovely classical music playing in the lounge. The people are amazing. Breakfast was yummy. There’s a funky bar area for mingling if you want to meet people. The cleaning service is great. I thoroughly recommend staying there. My room was lovely. The security is a high standard and it’s value for money.

Designer stay
Pros:

Great position and handy to all amenities and local attractions. The staff were lovely. The room was very small (no room for luggage) but had everything we needed during our stay.
The complimentary breakfast was a good start to the day.
Having car parking available was excellent as we were coming and going at all different hours.
We would definitely stay there again

They go over and above !
Pros:

We spent two nights at the hotel and had a lovely time, we used the hotel parking also which made the experience very easy as the hotel is so close to everything and easy to walk to.
Marco was fantastic when I called to arrange parking and also on check in. All the staff including domestic were very accommodating.
The room was roomier than expected and the finishings are very nice, great aircon. I would have preferred a firmer pillow but I didn’t ask but I’m sure it would have been rectified
The endless supply of water bottles and coffee was also great. We enjoyed our complimentary wine and cheese in Calamity Rods and also the complimentary breakfast was very filling as included some nice yoghurt and muesli.

Great night in the centre of Fremantle.
Pros:

We stayed at the Hougoumont Hotel for the ‘Fremantle Tour’ package and from when we checked on Friday afternoon until our late checkout on Saturday, everything went perfectly and we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. The included breakfast was better than we expected and the staff were always friendly and ready to assist. We just wished we had stayed longer!
