As the elevator is broken… if your room is at 1st or 2nd floor, all need to carry the heavy luggage to upstairs… I have too many luggage… so it’s a little bit inconvenient. But the staff there are all very nice~ they are always willing to help. I really enjoyed my stay there.

Have stayed here a number of times over the last 10 years plus. Always staying in the single room accommodation. Fantastic being right in the centre of party central Northbridge! I only ever try to stay in winter tho as it isn’t a comfortable stay in summer, as the fan supplied does little to cool the room, even at night. And opening a window you cop all the city noise.

Central location and good price. Booked a private room which was clean and comfortable however metal bunk beds very noisy with the slightest movement and open space above doors so no noise is blocked from common areas. Definitely being ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper!

I feel lucky because my room is in a strategic position, otherwise I could hear the noise of all pubs around and the contyard, so keep that in mind, we are in CBD, so that could also happen in other hostels around this area. People are nice as well as the staff. If my window had had a mosquito net, everything would have been perfect!

Can’t complain for the price we pay for a double room in a hostel in central Perth. The staff were pleasant. Unfortunately the kitchen is kinda disaster but this is because of other people in the hostel not knowing how to live with others obviously.. will still come back if we are around
