Guest Reviews
- julianne (6/5): The hostel was clean and adequate for the low price. It was close to the railway station and city - the breakfast was very poor. The choice was cornflakes or uncooked rolled oats! No fruit or toast. a bit strange. a resident there gave me directions on where to find the women's showers on the floor above the I was staying in. The staff should have told me where it was and also there should be some signs to it.
- Tuan (6/5): Ok - Ok Ok

- Gonzalez (9/5): Excellent location - The locationis excelent, also is a quiet hostal, no party. The staff is nice and they helped me with my luggage. There are no lifts, and it is heavy to go upstairs with a 23kg luggage, but the front desk guy helped me, so nice.

- Christine (8/5): I love heritage properties. - My initial booking was for one night because I was unsure what I would be doing. Then after not finding a next appropriate place to be I decided to book an additional night to give me time to find my feet in Perth. After my first day in Perth I asked if it might be possible to stay for the additional two nights. Only one was possible, it they also suggested an alternative for the night in between.

- Atkinson (5/5): - The bed wasn't made, especially arriving midnight from a long flight; no towel was provided.
- sabrina (1/5): - Nada es sucio, La habitacion que me toco tiene problemas de cañerías y toda la noche se escuchan sonidos dentro de las paredes! Pase solo una noche y me fui a otro lado! Me devolvieron el dinero,pero aun asi ellos deberían avisar del problema antes porque saben que tienen ese problema! Y no te están regalando la estadía!

- sol (6/5): -
- Milani (6/5): It’s okay. Overprices and uncomfortable but alright for a few days I guess. - Great location. Relatively clean. Honestly these hostels are prices at incredibly high prices and are worth none of that money. I understand hostels are not meant to be premium accommodations, I don’t expect luxury, but a small level of comfort should be guaranteed to a guest. Rooms were small often no windows, little to no common area spaces, wifi didn’t work in the rooms, toilets were far from bedroom, poorly designed bathroom areas, no space to leave your toiletries while you use the sinks or showers. Nothing about this hostel was horrible, but nothing was comfortable either. And therefore the price does not reflect the service I paid for. But I guess that’s all over Australia just a little extra in Perth. Also most people here are FIFO or looking for fifo.
- Yejin (3/5): I would not come back but the location was awesome - the staff at the reception, she was very helpful and friendly All the young people were so loud until the night, the mattress was soooooo uncomfortable, the room was smelly
- jeanne (7/5): -
- Marine (8/5): - Très bon accueil, bonne ambiance sans débordement le soir. Toujours propre.
- Vincent (6/5): -
- Caitlin (1/5): -
- Kora Cheng (5/5): - The hostel has potential, but the maintenance could be improved. During my stay, some of the showers were out of order and there were insects appearing in the dorm at night. The dorm could also benefit from better upkeep. On a positive note, guests make their own beds and the bed sheets provided were clean. With some improvements to maintenance and cleanliness, the overall experience could be much better.
- SERGIO (5/5): -
- Phoebe (4/5): Fine for 8 hours just to sleep.. - Only pro was the location was great - dirty
- had to ASK for bedding, if we arrived 5 minutes later I wouldn’t have had sheets
- poorly laid out bedrooms
- no window in our room as in the basement
- Claire Yu (1/5): Not good. Hope they will take this review seriously. - Just across Perth Underground Station - very accessible. The toilets had a very unpleasant odor, particularly the male restroom. The female toilet and bath were also unclean—used tissues were scattered on the floor and there was visible hair, giving the impression that the area had not been cleaned for several days.
The bed, bedsheets, and even the room itself had an unpleasant smell, which made the stay uncomfortable.
In addition, some guests were very loud and noisy until around 2:00–3:00 AM. Unfortunately, it did not seem that the hotel management addressed the disturbance or reminded the guests to keep the noise down.

- 志村 (8/5): - ホテルの方が優しく対応してくれた。
チェックイン前、チェックアウト後どちらも荷物を預けれたのがとても助かった。部屋に関しては、日中観光し疲れた体であれば問題なく寝れる。共有シャワールームは宿泊者全員が使うので清潔さは無い。シャンプー、タオルも無し。パース駅から近いこともあり、利便性はあるが、宿泊においての利便性は期待しないほうが良い
- Enzo (1/5): regrets - Nothing Its dirty, nothing work correctly

- Tom (7/5): -
- CHENG HSIN (4/5): -
- Anne (6/5): Excellente ambiance - Très bon emplacement L'accueil des personnes en mobilité réduite.
Instaurer des mesures de surveillance strictes la nuit : intrusion de personnes non clientes, nuisances sonores importantes dans les parties communes sans respect des horaires.
- Erika (2/5): No era lo que esperaba. - Solo la cercanía. Muy sucio, con olores muy feos y además la incomodidad para subir hasta el último piso para llevar mis maletas.
- Anthony (9/5): Nice place for what you pay for and the staff is very accommodating. - It's a pretty good and clean place to stay in. Most people are here for work so it's calm. The breakfast is basic but it does the job and it's free. The location is perfect right in the center of CBD so transport is easy !
As long as you're polite, cleaning after yourself in the kitchen and label your food right you shouldn't have any issue getting your deposit back.
Could also leave my bag at reception for early entry and late checkout which was cool ! I got the basement room and we were the farthest away from the wifi, so no network in the bed. But still you got it back just after when leaving the room.
- Katarzyna (5/5): - Good staff who works there but the problem is people who live there,seems like they been there for long time,loud after 10,leaving trash and not cleaning after themselves
- Tiana (3/5): I am greatful the room had a lock. The staff we do nice and helpful. - Breakfast was 2 cereals with no milk. The hostel is close to everything but didn’t feel safe It didn’t feel safe. People were loud well into early hours of the morning, there was no room in the fridge for food.

- James (7/5): Good staff,interesting guests and the best location. See you all again in future. Thank you all so. - Breakfast was included which is a good option to have however im not a breakfast person myself.Location was the ultimate can't imagine any better awesome.Staff were helpful and knowledgeable and good manners.Mostly young international travelers but a few older people as well most people were friendly and we'll mannered Needed better pillow the sash window was druaghty and hem up the bottom of the curtain rather than just cut off with siccors looked rough. Clean unstained mattress protector would have been nice
- Lana (7/5): Great value for money. - Location is great. Next to train station and buses. Management pays attention to security. Good bed lined, soft and warm blankets and pillows. Would be nice to have a more sturdy, silent bed. I had a room on a quiet side, but I imagine that room facing the main street are not quiet, cause windows are not sound proof.
