Not as good as i expected. I stayed in YHA other cities and i liked most of them. This hostel is unique, once was a jail. Other than that, nothing special. I even had to ask Air conditiner remote control at the front desk and then had to return back again. Back and forth. And most of the staffs werent too friendly. Shower room in my building got no hot water so i had to go to other building. And no wifi in my room. Had to go to public areas for the wifi. Wont stay there again

Good hostel, I'm glad I found it and chose to stay here not too far from the station close to Fremantle Market. Will definitely be back next time 🙂

It was a unique experience to stay in the oldest prison in western australia.
We had a double decker in one of the cell blocks and showered in a ild shower that inmates used to use back in the day.
Its walking distance to the markets and cafes. Great place to stay

Honestly, the price and service are completely mismatched. I can't believe I paid around $60 per night for the following experience:
The shower only provides cold water, and there's a sign telling you to limit your usage time.
The power outlet isn't located near the mirror, so using a hairdryer while looking in the mirror is impossible.
The bed sheets are full of pilling, making them uncomfortable to sleep on.
Outdoor tables are left uncleaned for days, with bird droppings in the same spot showing no sign of maintenance.
The living room TV isn't connected to Wi-Fi, and guests can't access it to watch movies. The staff Wi-Fi is required, but even when asked, the staff claim they don't know how to connect it.
The staff are not only unfriendly but outright dismissive, often saying, "That's not my job," when asked questions.
I was deeply disappointed that this is the level of service offered by YHA.
The only positive aspect of my stay was the friendliness of the other guests, but this has nothing to do with the service provided by the staff.

Very nice and clean hostel. The beds are comfortable and staying in a 6bed female room was just perfect for me. The hostel also organised a bbq night, quiz night, yoga, movie night and so on, which was great and easy to meet new people! The location is perfect too and Fremantle just a very nice area of Perth with nice beaches, good public transportation to the city center and a many cute coffee shops.
Can only recommend :)
