Centrally located from the main attractions (Fremantle market, city centre, jetty). Safe and quiet neighbourhood. Easily walkable. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in the unisex bathroom I used.

Loved my stay here! It wasn't the nicest place but it's a prison so that is to be expected, and I thought it being a bit run-down made the experience more authentic. I do wish I was able to explore more of the buildings without having to pay for a tour though...
