Loved this hostel! High ceilings in the rooms with air-con and fans. Very clean rooms and facilities. I will stay there again if in Perth. Only wished I'd booked sooner so I could have stayed there the whole time. A clean, comfortable place makes all the difference in the world. The computer/tv room was spacious and welcoming. I loved this place.

When I arrived the staff member told me it was double booked - which of course was not what you wanted to hear after a long flight and at midnight - but they sorted out a bed for me and I had a great stay. I don't know if it was a computer error or a staff error but they did everything they could to help get me sorted so thanks!

Yes this is a long term hostel. Lots of people working un in the mines, or in construction. If your just traveling through i'd suggest somewhere else. Never saw or heard of any events or outings. really not much going on except a big drink fest from 4-10 in the back patio/eating area. Comfy bed was a plus but that's about it. doors are used by key's and no one ever locks it, repeatedly randoms came into the room 'looking' for a friend. makes you wonder what could happen when your out.

Good hostel. Located about a 15 minute walk from the city centre. Everything is pretty clean, plus the staff is very helpful. When I wanted to check out at 8am, the night supervisor had already left and the day supervisor was not there yet. I left a note with my phone number asking how to get my key deposit back. I got a call within the hour, telling me that they will transfer it into my creditcard account.
