Was booked in here to stay for 2 nights. We ended up checking out and going to a far more expensive hotel nearby after the first night. The hostel states it is YHA approved, but I cannot see how it has achieved this. The rooms reeked and were dirty, bathrooms were filthy, common areas dirty and filled with people drinking,... More

I had to get extremely drunk as a strategy for dealing with a single night in this place. Wish I couldn't remember it.

when i first walked down the street to check in, i noticed fresh vomit on one of the front windows, and was still there all dried up when i left. the staff were not friendly. i saw a cleaner, which surprised me, since it is filthy. the room i was in was female only and it was like no-one had...

We have travelled far and wide staying in backpackers and they are all 5 star and half the price compared to this hell hole. Mens urinals have no water and are thick with urine residue which you can smell from outside and there is a wierd room you can see from the common area that looks like a rubbish tip.... More

Checking in and being handed clean sheets is encouraging. making the bed to discover torso sized stains on the sheets was disheartening. a short walk about the hostel noted dead cockroaches in the halls and extension cords like a spider web fire hazard between rooms. Stepping over the cockroaches to get to the bathroom wasn't so bad but the mound... More

To concur with just about everybody else on this site, (except 1 suspicious 5 star) i would like to make anybody whom is able to use a computer aware that this backpackers is beyond disgusting. Looking past the showers which were actually usable, everything else was not. Thankfully i did not have to cook in the "kitchen" as the cockroaches... More

To be quite frank this place is disgusting and how the YHA still has any association with it is a mystery. I'd stayed here 10 years ago and it had been ok, but has deteriorated spectacularly since then. We had one night in a dorm and one in a double and I'm not sure which was worse. The dorms were...

When you cross half the world to get to Australia and your first night is in this hostel, I guarantee you want to go back home the next morning. Please hold on; it will get better! Wanted to go somewhere else, but this was the only place in Freo with availability. It's dirty, I stayed in a room with five... More
