Liked: The location of the property is fantastic! So close to the beach with excellent buses/trains into Perth. Rooms are basic but very clean and very little noise. A fantastic hostel which I would recommend to anyone. Nothing better than heading to the beach for a morning swim in the Indian Ocean!

Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Friendly and helpful staff, close to the beach

Disliked: my roommates private-owned the 6-bed dorm as if their rooms by putting all their things at every corner a girl even brought a guy to our room after 12 am (but the hostel is good, only some of the backpackers don't behave themselves so well)

Liked: Great location right on Cottesloe Beach and a great alternative to the inner city. Staff were friendly, helpful and there were good food and entertainment options nearby. The accomodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Disliked: Very noisy accomodation with thin walls and inconsiderate travellers making noise in the courtyard all night every night which echoes in the rooms.

Liked: it is near to the beach

Disliked: the room doors of the dorms are not locked despite they provide keys. My 8 dorm room was very messsy from long term and other rude backpackers. People are drunken in the hostel and staff does not do its duty to enforce rules like no alcohol be quiet at night or lock the rooms ant others. a very mess location at all better stay in a hostel in perth and use the transpert train its only 12 minutes an a short walk.
