This hostel is not one of the quiet ones. You easily get in touch with people. Though they don't make a lot of effort keeping the hostel clean. Especially the rooms are not very well looked after.

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

The location is really nice. The place is cool but it\'s full of homogeneous drunk surfers. Rooms are dirty because people stay here for long and they\'re not clean between guests. Kitchen is too small. Staff is friendly (depends who). Breakfast could be better.

Owner Comment (Show)
Samuel - your comments are completely misleading, there are no more 'surfers' here than any other hostel (in fact we havent had a surfboard here for many months). Our guests are mainly european or north american, rooms are cleaned twice per week, and the staff do their best to keep them clean despite the fact the hostel is 100% booked out most days because our guests ENJOY the place! And the kitchen is huge by most local standards! Yes breakfast could be better, instead of cereal, toast and jam and tea and coffee, we could have eggs benedict and caviar, but alas economics does not allow this when your paying $25 per night for a bed! Buen Viaje -- Bambu Crew

the place itself is fairly old and run down and when i was there it was a bit dirty, but it was right smack in the middle of town, location couldnt be any better if going out in northbridge is what your after. at the end of the day, as a backpacker, its comfortable and you meet a heap of new people. if ur happy to rough it a little then its great, u\'ll love this place, if a little more comfort and luxury is what ur after then this or most backpackers is not really for you anyway. staff=excellent

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!!!
