it being right on the beach was great, but it should be noted that this place is miles from the international airport and as there is no public transport to airport it costs an arm and a leg to get a private shuttle to take you there - especially early in the morning. My solution was to travel to the domestic airport as late as possible the night before using public transport and get the 8 dollar transfer from there to the international terminal (which runs pratically all night) and put up with an uncomfortable night. But it did save me 25 dollars! Also half the time i felt as though anybody could walk into the dorm i was in, mainly due to the other residents putting the door lock on the latch!

Couldn't ask for a better location - under a minutes walk and you're on Cottesloe beach! Xbox room and movie room as well as a common room and outside communal area very good. Kitchen a bit dirty but nothing too grim to cook in. Rooms nice with high ceilings and own fridges - would recommend.

It is in the most beautiful place, just over the road from a beautiful beach! The staff are really nice and very helpful. The dorms are nice and big and there is a really friendly atmosphere.

everybody was partying and all the people have been very very friendly to everybody, talking to anyone about anything and noone had to feel lonely - people had been very ready to help if you really needed help - all the people have been open minded - but on the whole it was absolutely really too dirty (cockroaches in the rooms, dirty fridges, the whole hostel smelled unclean etc.), that's why I wouldn't recommend it...
