Lovely staff, but the showers were dirty and the kitchen utensils were unclean and hard to find.

mattresses could use replacing. stricter enforcement of noise curfew (only 1 night out of 8 was a party, the rest were fine). a little more care factor from the checkout staff when mentioning the party would have been nice. The rest of the staff I found to be really great with the hostel being quite spacious with a relaxed character. Dorm room I was in was large with plenty of places to put your stuff.

Could be cleaner. There is a stench of smell along the corridors which could be improved. Good service from staff though, especially the manager, nice chap.

One of the better hostels that we stayed in whilst in Perth. Bathrooms were always clean and the room was a good size; however, the kitchen seriously lacked utensils and everything else. It let it down slightly but would stay here again.
