Just an average hostel for Perth and well below average compared to other city's. The kitchen needs to be gutted.

Very friendly staff.Location and facilities are alright, but bathroom & kitchen should be upgraded and kept clean.Unfortunately, rules are not always followed by the backpackers and things get really messy for use. It would be nice to have the TV room/bar area in use after hours.

The worst backpacker ever!!! Don´t go there! Just cold water in shower (and only 2 showers for womens worked), never clean rooms, breakfast was only plain bread and some corn flakes (no jam, no milk... nothing), no window in room, internet for $10 and never worked, dishes dirty in sink, pillows had yellow colour from mess and much more...... very terrific backpacker!!! I travel for 3 years around the world and I never have seen something as this!!!

we booked a double room but when we arrived at the hostel they told us that because of a double booking issue we had to sleep in the 8 dorm. we got keys for the room but the people in the room never locked the doors so there was no security. the bathroom was not too clean and the kitchen was a mess. we had to check out early in the morning but the reception was closed (opens at 9am but the people at reception forgot to tell us this bit of info) so we couldn't get the key deposit back.

Good hostel. It's right next to a loud club so if you don't like that then it is a bit tough but it was nice. I did ask for a girl room and was put in with 2 boys but I'm not complaining they were nice enough. Otherwise no real complaints I had a good stay.

Thanks Georgina was nice hosting your stay - just so everyone knows yes we are in the middle of the entertainment area, which is why many people stay with us, but it is only noisy on fri and sat nights, and then most guests are out enjoying theselves anyway, for most our guests it is not an issue, but if you do wish to stay somewhere very very quiet suggest staying outside of northbridge, but then you have the extra costs of taxis!

We just stayed for two nights and couldn't stand it anymore. The room is full of stuff and we didn't even have place for our luggage. Restrooms are simple but there's no door for the shower rooms, just curtains. And it's right next to a club and it's really noisy at night time. I got cheated by the only one review.

Hi Miao You stayed during a very busy time at the hostel and your room was full, as you know there is a large locker for each guest but not everybody uses them. We are located in the middle of the bar and restaurant area, but there is only noise on a fri and sat night, and it doesnt bother 99% of guests as they are out and having fun in the area themselves! Sorry to hear you did not enjoy your stay, perhaps better researching your travel plans will see you get into very quiet hostels right out of city centres or where the nightlife is if that is what you desire. Happy Travels!
