Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Big rooms which are clean, nice clean kitchen and very friendly staff. Location could not be better right in the centre of Perth. However clientele lets the place down hardly any backpackers there for what is primarily a hostel. Vibe is a bit dodgy with a few handful of people getting kicked out during the week we spent there so staff are trying to improve it.

Huge, cool, slightly dirty and smelly
I really like this place. It's huge, and there's so many commin areas. Unfortunately, it's dirty. The batgrooms are not large enough for everyone and they got pretty dirty. The kitchen is almways hot and smelly, but has everything you need!

Excellent Location and Friendly Staff
The location is excellent, blue CAT bus is nearby. Staff are really friendly and helpful which make the stay more enjoyable. With the price, everything is acceptable, except the wifi does not work all the time.
