Filthy rooms, my mattress looked like somebody died on it. (Homeless?) people crash on the sofa for the night. Everywhere there is stuff and litter lying around. The blankets don't smell fresh, everywhere there is the smell of mold in the bathrooms. The kitchen looks horrible, too. I think the employees try, but it barely keeps up. Sorry guys, can't recommend your place at all.

Hostle was very nice. Room and kitchen were clean. And the staff that worked there were extremely friendly and efficient. Just to name a few Ferdinando, Andrea & Camila. Also after staying here for a while the people that stay are very respectful in the week and fun on the weekends.

Terrible. Absolutely TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. The owner/manager is VERY RUDE and only cares about money, zero customer service. The hostel is average at most, you get what you pay for.. could be improve with very little money but I don’t see that happening. Do not stay here.

The staff was really nice, explained everything every time I called. Management has proposed a complete handout with all the details. I got a big room and enough space for me to do yoga every day!

I found the hotel a great place to stay. Checkin was easy, the staff were very welcoming, the room was spacious and with a view of the river and tower bridge, it was a fabulous view.

A total lack of security, someone broke into the hostel and stole my locked ebike. The manager didn’t care and he didn’t even want to share the footage with the police. Basically anyone can open the main door. Also, we saw plenty of indigenous people breaking into the facilities trying to steal things from us. This place is totally overpriced, there’s no proper customer service and there are serious maintenance issues, like the filthy sofas, poor WIFI connection or broken bathrooms. The manager just doesn’t care about backpackers and he’s not willing to spend any money on improving his business. The two Asian receptionists, Henry and Fumi, are great, but there’s one unpredictable Italian guy who can be really mean, making awful comments and also having inappropriate behaviour with the female guests. I really hope they improve all of these things happening at the hostel.

One of the cheapest place to stay in Perth. It is well located, in the center of the city and not too far from the river which is nice. However, rooms were not being cleaned and are small. You can barely move around (plus many of the lockers were broken). Also, beds are extremely small and very uncomfortable. As for the toilets and bathrooms, it was alright. Regarding the kitchen, it is not often being cleaned as well and fridges and cupboards are overcrowded. Finally, the common area is also dirty. Found many cigaret butt on the sofa. Outside, people leave their empty glasses, beer bottles and all sort of garbage and it stays like this for 4 days in a row. To sum up, it is a cheap place to stay but you get what you paid for.

Cheap, good location and the bathrooms are quite clean. That's pretty much everything positive about this place. This place is simply way overcrowded to have a comfortable stay. No room in the kitchen cupboards and fridges to store your stuff, the same problem in the rooms where you can barely put your backpack somewhere it's not gonna be moved by someone else. They have a private car park which is nice in this location but get ready to maneuver (we decided to spend a bit more and park our car in the car park nearby). As always, you get what you pay for but if you can afford it I would recommend spending a bit more to get a better place
