OK, so I've finally got around to reviewing Pirates Backpackers! Firstly, my wife and I had a great time here during our stay in Fremantle and made some awesome new friends! If we were returning to Fremantle as backpackers we wouldn't hesitate to come back here. I want to be clear on that before I say a little more about... More

Cheers for your in depth review Dave. Just a quick couple of responses. 1. We do offer free internet for weekly bookings. 2. Unfortunately the cockroaches have been a problem, as they have been everywhere throughout Perth, However we've been constantly laying cockroach baits and spray and we are definitely getting on top of this problem. 3. We have often... More

Fantastic hostel, very friendly and clean. Had a great atmosphere and the location is ideal for the Cappacino strip and Little Creatures. Stayed in quite a few hostels however we have not enjoyed them as much as Pirates. We loved our stay here and we'll be sure to be back soon :)

Pirates backpackers is a small(ish) hostel right in the heart of Fremantle. The hostel has a good, friendly vibe which means everyone finds someone to talk to, no matter what time of the day you turn up in the cozy courtyard. The hostel is not too big so people get to know each other pretty quickly, a brilliant opportunity to... More

We had no idea what this meant (heh heh) so thanks to Google translator, here's what it roughly means in English.... I've stayed at the hostel here for seven weeks, as had a thoroughly. It's nice to stay somewhere where the employees care for you as interested in you. The owner let the place be run by the manager, which... More

Horrible, dirty, small dorm with 1 fan. All the communal seating was outdoors so if it rained there was no where to sit. Tiny, dirty kitchen. Rubbish tv room. We stupidly booked 1 week here and after the first night we wanted to leave but they refused to give us a refund. It was that bad that we took the... More

We do not believe this reviewer stayed here at Pirates. There were no guests who stayed here in December who paid for 1 week but only stayed 1 night and were not given a refund as they state. Also the description does not even match Pirates Backpackers. For example, we have ample undercover seating in the courtyard so that if... More

I came to Australia on working holiday, and things began to go wrong from the time I got here. It has been a really difficult trip laden with medical problems and general bad luck. But one thing that was awesome throughout the experience was Pirates. I'm a quiet person and it can be difficult for me to make friends sometimes.... More
