Great place to stay and to meet a lot of backpackers, nice service. Could do with better supplies in the kitchen. Had an awesome time there and met fantastic friends. More

Stayed here for a while and I have to say it was definitely the best hostel I stayed at while in Perth. Clean, tidy and lovely staff and people. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about Perth, and if they didn't know the answer to a question they found out the answer. Location is brilliant, 5 minutes walk from city... More

I stayed here for 5 nights with my friend and we really liked this hostel! We had an en suite room, it was clean and tidy with comfortable beds and clean linen. For the first two days we only had one towel as there was a problem with the linen delivery but the staff were really helpful and apologetic -... More

Thank you for your review! Apologies again for the linen problem we encountered during your stay here - we try our best but sometimes things happen which are beyond our control. Please come and stay with us again next time you are in Perth, it was a pleasure to have you here! More

We stayed here for 2 nights in october 2011. Honestly, we never stayed at any backpackers hostel before. So we really don't know what to expect. But since cost of accomodation in Perth is indeed expensive (anywhere!).. We chosed the ensuite bedroom (not the dorm). We arrived on early saturday morning. I almost asked the taxi driver to drive us... More

Given some of the other hostels we had stayed in our trip I wasn't impressed with this place, especially given the price. The first impression wasn't that great from check in where the lady on reception wasn't the most accommodating or informative, for instance I wasn't made aware that we would need to hire crockery with a refundable deposit, or...

This hostel has great potential but is let down by guests and cleanliness. I was in a 4 bed ensuite dorm. There was barely room for my bag thanks to the mess of one girl, whose clothes and hair appliances were scattered all over. I didn't even use the ensuite as it was such a tip, the shower was full...

Living in WA and Australia for many years, each time when I come to Perth I stay here. It is one of the most cleanest hostels I have ever stayed in my life (and I travelled all around the world). Matrasses, bed linen ... all quite new ... no bed bugs here ! Also it is a very safe place... More

I hate it when this happens. Mostly young australians are staying in this place. They smoke right under the non smoking sign, play soccer in the hallway, drink and party in the common parts of the hotel, and don't clean their own mess in the kitchen. It's a bit tiresome. The night curfew is enforced though, which is excellent. The... More

The rooms were clean but slightly small, and where we stayed, the walls were thin and the floor creaked. The kitchen was slightly cramped and because the fridge was shared with an adjoining cafe, there was not much room to store food. The backpackers were noisy and rowdy and our food even got stolen there. All in all, it's a... More

I found the receptionist to be very unfriendly and unhelpful. The room itself (I booked a bed in a 4 share dorm) was alright, but the music coming from the recording/rehersing studio next door can be very irritating should you want to get to sleep at a reaonable hour. Make sure to ask back for your key deposit should you... More
