Very good

Needs improvement

Liked: A few different areas to hangout which is nice like a “tv” room, outside seating and a couple more areas inside. I liked the balconies off each room. Always enough food for breakfast and it was help yourself. Staff were always kind
Disliked: No major problems but I would honestly never stay here again. Hostels in Australia suck, everyone knows that, but I feel like even still this one was bad quality for Aus. Pool was gross and I never saw anyone in it for the days I stayed. Wifi SUCKED and did not reach any of the dorms or even the quiet working areas?? Massive place so hard to meet people. Lots of long term guests (almost entirely French) which is expected but it just felt very cold and unwelcoming. Bedding was super old and ratty. No soap in the bathrooms in dorms!! Super unhygienic and gross. Also, it said the dorm gets cleaned once a week (which is disgusting as is) and that day for my room was Monday but i arrived on a Monday and bathroom garbage bin was already overflowing and was never once emptied so garbage just piled beside it. Ive stayed in other hostels in Perth and they offer a much more in inviting and homey atmosphere, look elsewhere if that’s what you’re looking for

Bad

Pleasant

Liked: Perfect location room was spacious but basic
Disliked: Loud all night

Dirty

Disliked: 6 bed female dorm was actually 7. My bed had a spring sticking out of it. My bed felt and smelt disgusting and the shower room attached to the room was so dirty. Staff were nice though

I only spent one night...

Liked: The kitchen was super clean and there’s was tons of food storage. The double room was super spacious and I loved having AC!

Good

Liked: Pool, breakfast included, location, great staff
Disliked: The steps.....maybe you could offer a service where a strong make backpacker could be paid $$ to take luggage up/down for women travellers?
