Superb

Liked: I enjoyed my stay hereWell maintained European style building with high ceiling and colorful stained windows. Thoughtful decoration arrangement consist of art works, craftwork, plants, Souvenir and many more. A few cats live here FOR FREE!!!(Just kidding, I am not jealous at all) Good vibes, spacious public area, beautiful backyard with many plants, chill staff and many indoor activities to do with fellow travelers.

Exceptional

Liked: Honestly loved my stay here. The hostel has a really relaxed vibe, and there’s always somewhere nice to sit and chat or just chill on your own. The pool area is perfect on sunny days, and inside there’s plenty to do if the weather isn’t great. Everything was clean, and I mean clean especially compared to most hostels I’ve stayed at in Australia. The kitchen was pretty big and well organised, and my room was super comfy. The staff are friendly and easy to talk to, and they helped me out with tips for Fremantle and Perth. The location couldn’t be better, close to the beach, shops, and the train station. Met some great people here, would 100% come back

Liked: So much fun, so clean, so happy! This place really surprised me, so many areas to hang out, from the pool and Bali hut outside to the games and chill spots inside. Loved the mix of ping pong, pool, and foosball, and the whole building had such a relaxed, holiday feel even though I came in winter.It’s a big hostel but never felt crowded, and everything was way cleaner than most places I’ve stayed in Australia. Lockers were handy, beds were comfy, and the staff were just lovely.. always up for a chat and made you feel welcome straight away.Honestly had the best time here and can’t wait to come back.

The property had a hole...

Liked: The location was great, in walking distance to the beach and the train station.
Disliked: The property had a hole above the reception with wires falling through the roof. The top bunks don’t have side rails. A unknown $50 cash bond was required when checking in. The room smelt really strongly of noodles and the toilet facilities were also unclean. I don’t recommend staying here. Not worth the money, I ended up checking out and staying elsewhere.

Really nice facilities and common...

Liked: Pretty good location and facilities
Disliked: The showers can be much much warmer, now that we are in winter time, the showers were not warm at all and that a really bad point. Mattress could be a bit better

Unreal meeting with people, memorie...

Liked: Vibes there is sick, everyone friendly!
Disliked: A little cold by moment in winter time

Passable

Liked: Nice building and central location. Lots of potential. Cool fish tank and cats a nice touch.
Disliked: Not clean and often reeked of drugs. No plugs near top bunks. Limited shelving in rooms and weirdly only take cash on arrival so good luck if you arrive after a long day of travel without cash. Very rowdy until late especially on the weekends. Shower slimy. Also good luck if you need something from reception, you'll be standing a good while waiting until someone happens to come past.
