  Lamentable

  Fui allí porque le habían dado premio a mejor albergue de la costa oeste y lo que me encontré fue lamentable... A saber como serían los que no obtuvieron el premio. Todo muy sucio, viejo y descuidado. En la habitación compartida no se podía ni respirar, la peste que allí había era insoportable. Además me robaron la cámara de fotos del cuarto de equipajes, que estaba bajo llave, le dejaron a alguien la llave para ir a por su equipaje sin cerciorarse de que eran de verdad sus pertenencias. Y para colmo no se quisieron hacer responsables... Estuve una noche y fue lo peor de todo mi viaje.

  Friendly Staff, shabby accommodation

  Very handy location but I would give it one star for general standard of accommodation although I liked the restored opening windows. 24-hour reception is handy, but two staff members were talking and emptying bins at 3:00am outside our window one night which woke me up. Also every lock on the female showers on my floor was broken. I am in my fifties and stayed with my 22-year old daughter there in Dec 2019. We have stayed at a lot of backpackers but I would not stay in this one again.

  2 minutes walk from the centre of Perth

  Cheap hostel. Friendly staff. The room is spacious. Room for 2 persons with double bed, small table with 2 chairs, fridge, mirror, clothes rail with small fabric drawers. However, there are no hangers so nothing could be hung... No coat rack. Air conditioning present. Tennis table, games, tv room, bar on site. Alcohol prohibited. Laundry available. Otherwise, disgusting kitchen, nothing to wipe the dishes when wet. I saw two cockroaches one night in the kitchen. Showers and toilets more or less clean.

  do not recommend

  The hostel is well placed, nice to be outside in the evening with the other people, nice to have a TV room and billiards and table tennis table. However the hostel is not clean, the bathrooms are not clean, the toilets also. I find myself having a lot of pimples on my body

  Affordable but not the best

  The check in was easy and doesn't open until 1pm but I was allowed to store my bag in their locked luggage room. I stayed on the first floor 8-person room where you could hear the street noise but not anything bad. The beds were not premade but included sheets and a pillow case, no towel. The pillows are bunched up cotton balls so don't expect any neck support. The bed also squeaks like crazy. The rooms were spacious enough and had large lockers to put your things. No smell within the room and also comfortable aircon that is controllable by room. The establishment had a computer area but only one of the computers worked. Other reviews noted spotty WiFi but I had a strong and fast connection during my stay. The bathrooms are separated by gender or unisex. The water pressure for the showers were good and I never ran out of hot water. Overall, the building and faculties do appear old. Kitchen upstairs is moderately sized but the nastiest kitchen I've ever seen at a hostel during dinner hours. The storage cupboards and fridges are jammed packed; the dining area tables are filthy with leftover food all over. Free breakfast only includes toast, corn flakes and oat bars. Downstairs there are several lounge rooms with several comfy couches and spaces for you to work. There's also a laundry room in the back with large sinks for hand washing and a clothing line behind the laundry room building. I noticed that the machines are used by the staff to clean sheets and blankets so machine availability might be impacted but I'm not sure. The location is centrally located and only 6 min from the train station. My stay was alright for the 2 nights but say it would not be somewhere I'd stay for an extended period of time.
