I stayed in a double room which was advertised as having A/C only problem was that the system had broken which resulted in an un comfy hot night in our little shed sized room. The power extension lead in the room which provided more sockets was faulty and regularly sparked. The hostel lacks sufficient numbers of toilets/showers for the number... More

It's comfortable and nice but it is not really adapted for the backpackers alone. Not easy to meet people and hostel too quiet for me. Staff are really friendly and helpful that why I spent a nice stay even I won't come again because I am traveling alone. Good value for price and quality but I think it's better for... More

Contrary to other reviews here I think the positives stopped in this place after you met the friendly people on reception. First and most importantly, the rooms are TINY and are in urgent need of refubishment. Worringly, myself and at least one other person in our 4 bed dorm roon was awoken several times during the night due to being... More

Having read the horror stories of hostels in Perth we were not expecting much. However, we spent two nights there and were pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly, the communal areas were clean and the room was good quality. Despite there being a large amount of people staying there noise wasn't a problem. Although slighlty out of the city... More

Although the hostel is at the far end of Northbridge it is worth staying here.

Speaking from experience of staying in loads of hostels in Australia it has to be said that Perths offerings are fairly disappointing. However we really enjoyed our stay at coolibah, the Irish girls on reception are incredibly friendly and helpful (the German/European guy less so unfortunately). There is always someone cleaning here even throughout the night so you can be... More

The Tv area was large with comfortable sofa to relax and watch a movie or tv. It has a mixture of long term people and new but everyone talks to you the feeling is... More
