This backpacker is one of the best I've stayed at yet. Airport shuttle to/from doorstep. Plenty of free in- house entertainment like pool table, table tennis, foxtel (cable), darts. Free wifi and HEAPS of free food; includng an awesome barbecue. This is a big bonus as Perth dining is really expensive; hard to find a meal at $10-below. I highly... More

I stayed 3 nights here recently and I am so glad I did! It wasn't without trepidation as it's been a long time to stay at a hostel, but Wickham Retreat exceeded my expectations. It felt more like a large summer home and it was easy to mix & mingle with other guests. The facilities are clean and kept in... More

Stayed here in October for 5days initially ended up being 7days. Perfect hostel for lone travellers or couples, not a party area head to Northbridge for that. Bedroom dorms are 4per room loads of space for bags, private rooms are on offer too. Free wifi throughout hostel loads of free food for breakfast and snacks throughout the day. One or... More

I stayed here for 5 nights in September 2012. I paid $38/night for a 4 bed room. Price-wise it's the most expensive hostel I have stayed at, but you actually get good value for your money. Location is 10-15 minute walk from the city center. There is a free CAT bus stop a couple blocks away if you don't want... More

Amazing little hostel, the staff were all really friendly and the owner a generous and nice guy!all the free food you can eat (usually noodles, breads, cereals, pastas etc) and a Free BBQ every week. Just a short walk from the CBD and swan river. If I come back to Perth I'll definitely be staying at the Wickham!!

Positives: In quiet residential neighbourhood, 4 bed dorms, heating available for chilly Perth nights, free towel use, small so not many late night parties, bedrooms clean and well decorated Negatives: Not many places close at hand to grab a snack if arriving at night, could be quite difficult to find if using public transport

Wickham Retreat Backpackers was a cozy place to stay for two nights. The ambience is congenial because the guests are considerate of each other and get along well. My upper bunk bed was located in a 4-bed mixed dorm, which I shared with two young women who seemed to stay in the room most of the time I was there.... More

We stayed here for a week from 29 May 2012. All the fresh bread, milk, pasta, potatoes, cornflakes u can have. Free BBQ on Friday evening. Free wifi, laundry, tv room.
