A fantastic boutique hotel in the heart of Freo!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 11, 2024via mobile
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.

Room tip: Don’t forget to book the offstreet parking in advance

This would have to be one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. Superb service and breakfast and wine and cheese each day a welcome addition. Rooms were lovely and such a great location next to Main Street. Marco and his staff are excellent at service and would stay here again and recommend to all my friends and family

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.

Room tip: Parking is available but should be booked in advance. Relax in the hotel and look at the history - you can breathe and touch it.

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.

Thank you, AGE11, for choosing to stay at the Hougoumont Hotel.

We thank you for your priceless feedback.

We are sorry your agent did not carefully read our description on the portal he used.

The size of our rooms is very well explained and advertised anywhere on the web.

I do not think you have contacted our Fantastic Staff, they could have offered you an alternative option, if available.

The next time please ask your agent to book you in one of our Staterooms, 32 sqm will satisfy your space requirements.
A holding deposit may be required upon check-in.

I will investigate the matter of servicing the room, which is highly unusual for us.
We apologize, though.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon to the Hougoumont Hotel, just in the heart of Freo!

Best regards,

Marco, General Manager
