Perth was my first stop as a lone traveller in Australia after travelling in new Zealand and Asia. This hostel was very unwelcoming from the start. The people on reception give you no information what so ever. Had no idea where to get cutlery and plates etc from. Turns out you have to put a deposit down behind reception and... More

Hostel is in an older building which comes with a price to the cleanliness. Rooms are equipped with a proper locker storage for your big backpack and rooms are secured as well as bathrooms with your personal key card. Unfortunately there was no bathroom equipped with a shower except besides the bar there was a handicap bathroom with a shower... More

Having stayed in a few hostels in Australia this one was by far the worst - the actual place is fine, fit for purpose - clean. The kitchen is good, space and aircon was great. I found all the staff to be either ok or helpful (this includes cleaning staff) - so no complaints there. The room I stayed in... More

I stayed in this hostel as a long termer i got on great with everyone band staff loved our business during the winter months when it came to peak season they became rude and did not want long termers as they make more money from travellers. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone as the rudeness of the staff... More

Ok so if you are backpackers actually travelling around Australia, I wouldnt bother staying here. This place is over run by the Irish workers, who are mostly drunk, rude and very loud. The hostel itself really not that bad though, we found it clean and comfortable, even the bathrooms and kitchen. Kitchen never too busy to cook, plenty of space... More

I'm the kind of person who usually only bothers to review when something is either outstanding, or really really bad. so it is rare that i post anything. but i have to say, after traveling to over 30 countries and staying at dozens of hostels, this one is by far the worst ever. if it was just a matter of...

This place has a lot of potential...... BUT.... its dirty, its loud, its overrun by Irish, whom I usually don't mind, but they only socialise with their own and generally make idiots of themselves. The administration is a miserable bunch that broadcast their rot over loud speaker several times a day like a boot camp. Unenjoyable to say the least. More

This was the second hostel I stayed in while in Perth and even though it was regarded as a more upmarket kind of hostel it was a disgrace for the money.... The dorm rooms smell, they are left filthy by other backpackers and the staff don't seem to bat an eyelid! On the morning I arrived I was greeted by... More

the hostel could be great, but it seriously needs new management. the irish guys who drink around the pool should not be allowed to stay. seems this hostel tolerates their behaviour. im all for drinking and meeting other backpackers but these guys just keep to themselves and yell at each other while jumping and 'bombing' in the pool all afternoon....

The location was really good, if you want to enjoy the nightlife. We stayed in 8 share mixed dorm which was really dirty. It smelled sweat and there were cockroaches all over the room. Good thing was that we got all of our money back, since we had booked the room for several nights but stayed only one night. During... More
