It may be bad but you get free rent after the first night. They let you avoid paying for weeks, just a post it reminder on the door. just get out before the month is over

Dirty Rooms, Filthy Kitchen, Broken Toilets and BED BUGS!! little vampires ate me all night, and didn't take me out for a date. Staff and guys that stay up all night look at you like a piece of meat. One even followed me to the bathroom and was still standing nearby after my shower. I only stayed one night and... More

This would be a great place to stay, the location is great, the rooms are huge, it's one of the cheapest hostels in Freo! BUT they have a massive bed bug problem.

This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. Got so many bites from staying there just a few nights. Even the staff are covered in bites but they don't seem to care. The fridge is filthy with broken eggs and spilt food all over the floor. It is dangerous to keep food in. The ovens constantly leak gas.... More

We stayed for one night only and my boyfriend was bitten by bed bugs. Horrible atmosphere, grumpy staff and smelly rooms. In the end we had our money back, which was the only good thing!
