We booked with my wife mixed dorm for 6 nights. First problem : the crew is really rude and unhelpful. When i asked about public transportation i've heard "I have got a car, i don't give a damn a about public transport". Every question which i asked were too hard for them. Next thing we booked mixed dorm, but they... More

Stayed here in Jan for 2 nights in a private room. The room was quite big and quite clean with a private bathroom. The hostel itself is quite big but I imagine as a result of this it could get quite busy in the kitchens at peak times. You had to pay a refundable deposit to hire crockery and the... More

This hostel is right on Cottesloe beach which is absolutely beautiful. There were also lots of jobs available in the hostel and the local area which were always advertised on the notice board. We were in a private room and our room was thoroughly cleaned and our bedding changed every 4 days and our towels were replaced and very clean... More

Ocean Beach Hostel is brilliant. Very clean throughout, friendly staff, great all rounder! The place is literally a minutes walk from the beach and you get the proper Australian feel for the place. Being close to the beach does seem to attract a few undesirables to the place - but they are dealt with the correct way and evicted swiftly! More

We arrived at this beach front backing hostel following a 17 hour flight and were exhausted. Found the staff to be precise and to the point but not especially welcoming or friendly. Our room was pretty good for a hostel having a mini fridge and en-suite. Excellent location being 50 metres from the sea-wonderful walking and views to be had.... More

I have heard that generally hostels in Perth & Freemantle are not good. So I was glad I was staying at OBB in Cottesloe, seconds from the beach which is perfect for those hit days, away from all the hustle and bustle. Rooms are a good size with ensuite bathrooms and good level of cleanliness. Kitchen is a little small... More

The title of this review says it all. This was our final week in Australia and just wanted beach and sun. We were recommended this hostel by a travel agent. We had met up with some friends who were traveling and seen their hostel and was pleasantly surprised. This was what made me agree to trying the hostel. It was... More

if this hostel were any closer to the beach, it would be washed away at high tide. you get all the amenities of the beachfront bar that is attached to the Ocean Beach Hotel with the gorgeous views of the infamous cottesloe sunsets, except at backpackers' prices. i was in a 6-bed female dorm, with a window overlooking the ocean....

Booked in for several nights, didn't stay one. The 8 bed dorm had dirty dinner plates and sand on the mattresses of the empty beds, smelled of damp, and had people's stuff everywhere. One shower/toilet for the whole room too. The room mates were very friendly but this place just needs a total refurb. Kitchen is small and surprise surprise,... More
