Summary of traveller reviews

Quokka Backpackers Hostel Perth offers friendly staff and a good location. However, recent reviews highlight significant cleanliness issues and a lack of social atmosphere, suggesting it may be more suited for long-term workers than backpackers seeking to meet people.

Truly disgusting experience & would rather book a costly hotel if this place is the last option. The toilets had dirt and whatever else all over the walls, the bath mats hadn’t been washed since purchase, hand towels were all over the floor, holes in the walls, the bunk beds were wobbly and frankly dangerous to get up and down. People seem to live there full time?? Never. Again.

Good affordable and very simple. Seemed to cater for lots of overseas students and Fifo worker. Not very sociable. Free breakfast is just cornflakes and dairy milk. God if you just want a roof over ya head
