The Houston Wagga

This is a very pretty and beautifully furnished boutique hotel with super comfy top quality bedding and stylish landscaping. The location is great - close to the best that Wagga has to offer in restaurants and shopping - Uneke, Meccanico and The Riverine Club and more all within a couple of blocks. We stayed in 2 different rooms over a 3 night stay due to room availability - and the more expensive rooms are definitely quieter and larger and are in the lovely main house - though all rooms have a kitchenette and offer the same very cute cereal, yoghurt, bottled milk, T2 teas and 6 coffee pods replaced each day - which is a lovely generous touch. Bathrooms are spacious with the ‘Master Suite’ offering a bath as well as a separate shower. The studio suites are also lovely - but as another guest review mentioned - two of the studio suites are connected which would be great for a family - but when these are sold as separate suites the noise travels right under the connecting doors - a shame really as it’s easily fixed. I hope management looks at this soon. Also whilst it’s lovely to have outdoor furniture directly outside these studio suites - the reality is that neighbouring guests can also use these spaces - and listening to their phone calls or general banter directly outside one’s room is quite disturbing. That said - this is a truly lovely hotel of only 11 rooms - full of quality inclusions and offers value for money - and we would definitely stay again. Additionally - whilst we didn’t see the staff - via email they were incredibly accommodating with late checkout (big thanks) and organising our room transfer without having any time out of the property. Very very kind and guest experience focussed. Well done The Houston!

We stay at the Houston when we visit our daughter who is studying in Wagga. We love the comfort, convenience and proximity to nearby restaurants and cafes. The apartments are well designed with a sitting area, kitchenette and access to a shaded courtyard with seats. The building and apartments are stylishly decorated and retain the historic character of the building.

The apartments facing the carpark need a semi transparent blind to let light in but retain privacy. Also some cupboard space in the bathroom would help. We have stayed in a few other apartments at the Houston and can’t fault them.

There are only 11 rooms at this lovely, well located boutique hotel and they are all well equipped and beautifully furnished. Very comfy beds, great linens, mini kitchens, microwaves, cutlery, crockery, coffee pods and T2 tea, and milk/yoghurt/fruit/cereal replenished each day for breakfast. This is an exceptional offering for a country town and well worth the extra $$. Staff were lovely and helpful via email communication.

The water pressure in the showers isnt great.

The welcome text gave us all the information we needed. Custom code on the door was a nice touch. Bed was superb. My far the most comfortable of out whole trip. It was like sleeping on a cloud. The provided muesli yoghurt and apples were delicious and servings were generous. The Nespresso had a frother to enhance our breakfast coffee.

Exiting the parking is a tight fit for a larger car.

Beautiful room with old world charm. Quiet and self check in was amazing as I didn't need to park and go through reception process before getting settled in. Everything was smooth and the one time I did need reception, she was very helpful and friendly.

The parking is very limited on site but this is not necessarily a down side as it helped keep the quiet peaceful atmosphere of the premises

Lovely compact room, with huge comfy bed and great lighting. Very nice ensuite, lovely light breakfast provided, quality teas too. Easy check in, the key was in the door ready for me! Close to where my appointment was, and lovely cafe just at the end of the block.

Spacious, clean, comfortable and nicely furnished room in a lovely historic building in the heart of Wagga. The king size bed was extremely comfy. And the light breakfast in the fridge was a delicious touch.

Nothing

Old historic building with a lovely aesthetic & nice furnishings Great location & quiet

A few details need addressing Air con noisy Air vent in bathroom ineffective Kettle that didn’t turn off when boiling

Loads of character. Lovely room and close walk to town.

The room needs to be better soundproofed. The interconnecting door has a gap under it and you could here every single word from the people in the next room.

Clean, wonderful furnishings, great location & value for money.

I suggest describing the breakfast as a light breakfast. I personally wasn’t a fan of the oats and yogurt option. but it wouldn’t deter me from staying again.
