First of all, i had a great time in Freemantle! Honestly I stayed at the Freo because the other better places were full. But I wanted a cheap place for 2 weekend nights and so set my bar pretty low. Rather than a $30 bunk in a 6 bed room, I upgraded to a private room for $100. Gotta draw... More

Booked into a twin room with a friend of mine and oh what a shock we got. the world's smallest room.......with bunks!! and just to make the room seem smaller they'd put lockers in there which took up half the floor space. Hilarious. Dirty old sheets, strange stains everywhere in the room, cockroaches wondering under the door, child size beds.... More

Do not stay here no matter how strict your budget is!!! Bed was dirty when I checked in. Room had trouble locking. Unhygienic kitchen and bathroom facilities! Not to mention untidy!! Window overlooking street in our room had been broken- felt as if room wasn't safe. Staff members were rude and unhelpful- although i had to laugh when I first... More

An absolute hole. Sickened that I'm wasting my time writing this review on such a disgusting place but hopefully it'll stop other making the same mistake I did. Thought it couldn't be that bad but holy hell it's worse. Rotten smell in the room turned out to be a dead decaying mouse underneath my bed. Room obviously wasn't cleaned (possibly... More

Dirt is everywhere and it is very noisy. But this was nothing compare to our surprise when we entered the room. We paid 100$ for a double room, which is quite a lot for a backpacker, but I wouldn't have slept there even if someone would have paid me 100 $ to sleep in this "bed". I don't know if... More

The hostel is brilliantly located close to the train station and blue CAT bust stop taking you straight to the lovely City Beach. It is very, very shabby and the doorms are messy and not very clean. The building itself is a heritage building but could definitely do with a lick of paint and some tidying. The toilets were relatively... More

Stayed there only one night, worst night I have ever had in 4 years of traveling. Payed a huge price for a dorm room to get there and it stank so bad. All the bunk beds are noisy, uncomfortable and terribly dirty. On arrival I went to my room and it was shockingly hot so I was to reception 5... More

I booked a double room for 100 aus. Dol. No window in the room, no aeration, a little rat nest! Employee behind the front desk really rude. Shortage in the number of toilets and showers. If you want to get ripped off, have a shot in that place!
