    Very few bathrooms, considering the hostel was at max capacity of 150 guests consistently, Involves some waiting around to use the facilities Toilet may need a drain cover, some cockroaches were crawling about the toilet area.

    The staff are excellent, Location is close to the cbd Nice kitchen/clean/spacious

    However, there were so many cockroaches, the pool table was broken, and someone stole my pillow and blanket and no one was able to replace it. The building itself was very hot however the bedrooms were cooled nicely. There is no sense of sound security as the night club next door was blaring music and there was no sort of sound filter in the dorm rooms to dull that noise. Additionally, the staff does not enforce their “no music past 10pm” rule.

    The other guests were super nice and there was a variety of cultures staying at the hostel.

    Not sociable - lots of long term stayers - if that’s what you are then it’s good for you Beds were uncomfortable - ladder to top bunk was broken Not a lot of storage space in the rooms - lockers and shelves taken by those who a long term Bathrooms not clean - needs major updating Confusing lay out

    Good location for Perth CBD, near bars etc but also so noisy at night on the weekends. Kitchen was pretty clean Lots of seating

    Gave me bedding stuff that wasn't fresh (they smelled like they were used already), because I was staying only one night and checked in in the evening maybe? (Or maybe the guy was just a little too high :)). Too much booze in the air, or maybe I forget what hormones do to you!

    Cool party vibes and nice accommodating and super chill staff. Very young (for me), early twenties I would guess. Noisy as expected throughout the night, but no problem with earplugs. Recommended for those seeking to meet new people, and maybe have thick skin.

    The Wifi is bad, it is dirty and when we had a giant cockroach in our room and asked for something to put it out (we didn't even asked to help us!), the german dude from the reception really answered: "We all have these situations in life". Well, it is his job to please the 'clients' and to help out. I am very disappointed in the acting with guests and as far as well from my landsman. Sincerly, was it so hard to give us a magazin an a pan or stuff? The rooms were to crouwded, the walls, the floor and everything is dirty, the A/C was beeping every 20 seconds!!! Without earplugs I wouldn't have been able to sleep.

    The location is very good to reach from the train station. The shops and stuff of the city are very close, like a 5 min walk.

    It’s not entirely my thing. But being a female in a room with males was off putting.

    It was a last minute rush decision. Plenty of people to socialise with.

    Pigeons allowed to roam the kitchen and dining area. Bathroom always flooded. Rooms very cramped and damp- very little available sockets

    Location was great, which meant for such a low price the hostel was bound to dissappoint, unfortunately
