If our endless amenities don't take up all your time, Fremantle city will! Whether you are after museums, beaches, markets, shopping or just a great coffee on a sunny afternoon, The Old Firestation is right around the corner.

Very party / long term hostel, feels quite dirty and intimidating. I’m sure if you stayed longer / moving to Perth then it would be nicer and a good place to get set up but wouldn’t choose to stay for a short period again
