We live in the UK and we have stayed at the Hougoumont Hotel five times since 2023 whilst on holiday in Australia as we like the hotel that much. Fremantle is easy to get to on the train from Perth Airport, we hire a car after a few days when the jet lag has worn off, and the hotel is centrally placed. Although it is close to the main restaurants, cafes etc. it is not in a noisy location. Every time that we have stayed we have had a great experience. We normally stay in the New Haus part of the hotel which is across the street from the main Hougoumont. The hotel staff are very friendly and obliging and have bicycles that are free to hire if you want to explore more of the area on the sea front cycle paths The rooms are very clean, well appointed and the beds and pillows (for which a choice is available) are very comfortable. A continental breakfast is also included in the price of the room. We have never had any problems with the hotel. We would recommend the Hougoumont Hotel to any of our friends and relations who want to stay in Fremantle.

Comfortable, Clean, Communication, Convenient Place, Price, Parking, Produce The hotel provides a great first impression with their warmth, hospitality, and professionalism. This continues with delightful room personalisation and offer of a complimentary ‘happy hour’ glass of wine and cheese nibbles in their delightful drinks garden between 5 &6pm. A great way to start your evening or end to an exhausting day exploring Fremantle. The rooms offer a well-stocked bathroom with exquisite toiletries which you can purchase from reception. The room also provides Iron and Iron Board, water T&Cs, good aircon, quiet and secure. One minor point there are no USB chargers so take a plug. I loved reading the history depicted on the walls whilst relaxing in the tastefully decorated lobby which provide complimentary water T&C and sometimes fresh apples 😊. This hotel is definitely our ‘go to’ when we visit Fremantle, no reason to stay anywhere else.

Friendliest and most helpful hotel staff i have had for a long time, wine and cheese upgrade including late checkout a bargain. Breakfast was included in room price Clean modern hotel Perfect location in the heart of Fremantle Will definitely be staying again

Our son recommended this establishment so we thought we'd give it a go. We found the room excellent, very clean and comfortable, the location absolutely superb, with everything you could possibly need, within easy walking distance. Also the staff were very accomodating. We will definitely be staying here again.

It's a small comfortable hotel bang in the middle of Freemantle. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The room was immaculately clean, with all the expected facilities. The room was in a similar style to the Citizen M chain, very well laid out. The staff were helpful and polite. We...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted in a very professional and friendly manner. Could not believe how clever they were with fitting of the room. (The rooms are made from shipping containers but you would never know it). Water bottles in the fridge, super comfy bed and pillows, tiny but stylish bathroom. Reception are also hosts their light breakfast and we had many coffees there relaxing over a newspaper or travel brochure. Happy hour every afternoon just next door and they serve lovely snacks to accompany your beverage. First time in Fremantle, a memorable stay for sure at The Hougoumont and I highly recommend.

We stayed at the New House. Everything was perfect, spacious and clean room, friendly staff, comfortable bed, fantastic location. So lucky to have found this place! We will definitely be back! P.S. Recomme d booking a car bay with the hotel. It is worth the extra being so centrally located.

Possibly the cleanest place we have stayed in. Great knowledgeable staff and great service Highly recommend - cheese platter and a welcome drink in happy hour. Well appointed. Frankly five stars in every aspect. Totally complimentary to every aspect of our visit to Fremantle WA

This well positioned boutique hotel in Fremantle certainly punches above its weight. Everything about the hotel from the rooms /breakfast/information has a nice personal touch - which starts on arrival with Marco & staff. A good deal with the small brewery next door is a great add on. Make a booking if parking is required whilst in Freo. All in all - The Hougie is 5 stars!!

Our trio of intrepid friends and lovers was lucky enough to nab a studio room at Nuhaus as part of celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday weekend- and can I say that the room exceeded our expectations greatly! I have previously stayed at Hougoumont and found the smaller double rooms over the...

Our trio of intrepid friends and lovers was lucky enough to nab a studio room at Nuhaus as part of celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday weekend- and can I say that the room exceeded our expectations greatly! I have previously stayed at Hougoumont and found the smaller double rooms over the road to be lovely and modern whilst accepting the minimal footprint room sizes of the hotel itself right in Freo central. But the studio was a game changer- I wish we didn’t sleep in so late that we couldn’t take advantage of the coffee pod machine and rejuvenating brekkie (which I have eagerly consumed on my previous stay at Hougoumont ). We travelled up from the south west and found check in to be a breeze after hours, with the delightful lady from Katanning checking me in and advising me on all the facilities. The accommodation and common areas of the hotel smacks of class and chic inner city living. Even upon our slightly late departure the front desk staff and maintenance man were so accommodating offering to help us with bags and offering fruit, water and lollies- which I only didn’t take as we were in recovery mode from our evening celebrations. I would recommend anyone travelling to Freo for a stay to try and get into one of the studios, or if you are solo or budget savvy one of the Hougoumont rooms- from the personalised welcome message written on the bathroom mirror to the comfy and quiet modern rooms this is a little sanctuary away from the bustling Fremantle main drag- and the perfect place to connect with your significant other/s between dinner dates and pub crawling. Bravo Hougoumont - we will be sailing with you again- hopefully for a couple of nights next time.

We had an excellent four nights at this hotel, and it was a very happy surprise on our arrival, to be upgraded to a state room! The staff were super friendly, and the yellow lollipops were a lovely touch! 🤩. Breakfast was simple but high quality, and the free cheese and wine we enjoyed in the bar next door, was very much appreciated at the end of a busy tourist day! The Hougoumont is an excellent choice for anyone staying in the Fremantle area; thanks again for a great stay!

A great little boutique hotel in the heart of Freo! The room was small, however it was clean and functional but let’s face it, you’d spend most of the time out and about exploring, dining out and seeing all that Freo has to offer!. Staff were excellent and friendly. The provided evening drink and Hors d'oeuvres in the adjoining microbrewery “Calamity’s Rod” was a nice extra touch. The continental breakfast was also simple and delicious with fresh breads, yoghurt and accompaniments and a coffee machine that made a choice of exceptional coffees.

If there were six stars I would give it. Excellent location Marco and the team were just brilliant. The room was fantastic and the wine and she’s in the restaurant. Next door was a great way to start our night out. Will definitely stay here again whenever we’re in Perth.

Perfect in every way. A very understated hotel from the exterior, this hotel is a gem! Caring and welcoming staff, beautifully presented interior and the best courtyard bar ever, run by the fabulous Naz. Thank you everyone for giving us the best Fremantle stay!

We 'happened apon' this hotel in an internet search. It promised to be a little different, and was. Great staff.

We 'happened apon' this hotel in an internet search. It promised to be a little different, and was. Great staff. Some fascinating stories about the Hougoumont ship and the convicts that sailed in her. We stayed in New Haus, an extremely comfortable room, excellent firmish bed, superb large shower and good seating. We could have done with a bit more light for reading. However, the location, breakfast, the adjacent bar (Calamity's Rod with excellent ɓeer from the micro brewery) and the nearby restaurant (The Oranges with good spicy food and vg wines) mean you can have a whole experience with the group - you need to get out of the room and enjoy things, in wider Freo too! The experience here was a highlight of this visit to WA.

We stayed here for a Friday and Saturday night in September. Pros: * Hotel was centrally located * Breakfast was simple but fine - muesli and toast * the free glass of wine and cheese plate was a nice touch * front desk service was good * we used the free bike hire - bikes pretty crappy but okay for a local ride Cons: * room was very small, like European small, and there was nowhere to unpack * our room was not made up in spite of us hanging the sign on the door and being out from 9am to 2.30. When we raised it at front desk, they said room service had finished already. We were able to get clean towels at least Would I stay again? Probably not, mainly due to the size of the room.

We stayed the night before our cruise was about to depart, the location was good, close to shops and restaurants, sightseeing within walking distance. The breakfast setting was cozy as the weather was cold. We found the staff, professional, charming and I can only give them eleven out of ten....

We stayed the night before our cruise was about to depart, the location was good, close to shops and restaurants, sightseeing within walking distance. The breakfast setting was cozy as the weather was cold. We found the staff, professional, charming and I can only give them eleven out of ten. Our cruise was delayed due to the weather, frustrating but again staff came to our rescue and told us we could stay until the cruise was ready to board. What can I say, the day got better and we met some lovely people from Perth, we were chatting and having coffee and we met this couple many times on the ship. Sorry it has taken me so long to write a review. My lovely wife would not hestitate to book again. Eleanor & Michael Cryer

The people working on reception were so friendly. The free apples were so fresh and you could have a great free coffee at the reception. Highly recommend this very affordable accommodation

We stayed at the Hougoumont the night before we left on a cruise from Fremantle 4/9/24. What a gem it was. Our first person we came across was Raul, he was informative and very welcoming. Let us know there was a little happy hour with a wine and cheese next door,nothing was too much trouble. It was freezing in Freo that night but a wood fire was lit to keep us cozy and rugs were available. Our room was lovely and very clean. Next morning our breakfast was not your normal Continental Breakfast. It was a delightful homemade Muslie with a Berry compote and yogurt served in lovely pottery bowls. Followed by a beautiful fruit bread, so dense with figs and fruits that I believe is locally made and a nice rustic bread. We were to leave for a late checkout at 11 but the ship had difficulty in coming into the Port due to the weather deteriorating. The Hougoumont were so accommodating allowing us to stay in the lounge for how ever long it took to be informed we were able to leave for boarding. We were offered great coffee and lovely teas, oh I can’t forget the lemon sherbet lollies the owner was handing out to everyone. All up it was a wonderful stay and I will stay there again, very convenient especially if cruising. Thankyou Marco Batacchi for a great stay. I always say “it comes from the top”
