On first inspection this Hostel is slightly confusing and seems a little all over the place. But give it a day and you'll be won over. The staff are wonderful can't do enough for you . The atmosphere is friendly the rooms are clean and comfortable and there are bathrooms and a laundry and a kitchen on every floor. The ground level has a computer area a vending machine and an outdoor drinking area supreme where most nights the sound of music and a blend of young excited youths can be heard talking to their new friends. The dormitories are fairly typical the budget room is as it states budget and the double and single private rooms are a good size. There is a $40 key deposit when you check in

Well Done Brltannia on William

Our stay as a couple in our seventies was very good we had a private room and although it was not en-suite it was comfortable and clean and absolutely ‘spot on’ for the cost, and if you were a couple in your twenties it is an amazing location for vibrant young night life. But if you like very quiet nights then stay elsewhere to enjoy Perth. Well done B on W. Mike & Pat

Cheapest place to stay in 4 bed female. The kitchen and eating area was dirty msinly due to overcrowding of stuff. Some people don't wash up which makes it worse. The dorm was clean and the bathrooms and showers too. Reception was manned all the time which is rare. I'm staying another 2 times after my tour and I'm upgrading to a single room on my last stay as it is the cheapest in Perth.

Great access to city and transport, depending upon the rooms available free music from local bars. Nothing a pair of earplugs won’t fix. Great price and lots of great people to meet. Commercial kitchen for cooking your own meals, washing and laundry facilities, lift to 1st, and 2nd floors for your luggage. I don’t think you will find a better place for the price.
