Positive Reviews

Relaxed atmosphere suited for backpackers

The hostel's chill-out vibe delighted guests specifically backpackers who are looking for a great place to stay to experience Perth at the same time make friends. This place is relaxed with lots of spots to hang out so guests can choose if they want some time alone or if they like to socialise with others.

Excellent common areas

Unlike other hostels, this property has social spaces and common areas where guests can chill out. There are three TV rooms and three separate kitchens where everyone seemed to mostly be there interacting with one another. Moreover, these common areas are kept clean!

Pleasant staffs who treat guests like friends

Guests were impressed with the warm welcome and hospitality of the staff. According to them, the staff created a nice friendly atmosphere. They welcomed all guests with a warm smile and were always eager to start nice conversation.

Negative Reviews

Extra cost for Wi-Fi

Free Wi-Fi is not offered here so guests were dismayed because they needed to shell out some extra cash if they wanted to access the Internet. The fee was expensive and should be paid daily although access was not even fast. The Internet did not even work in some rooms!

Unimpressive, mediocre breakfast

Previous guests did not appreciate the free breakfast included in the room rates because they thought it was mediocre and was not given much attention. There were even no tea and coffee available; instead, they only served bread with some spreads and tasteless cereals that tasted like water.

Quite far from the city centre

This property is located 15 minutes from the centre. Because of this distant location, guests had struggled exploring the area by foot. They had to take public transportation or their own vehicles when roaming within the area.
