This is one of the better hostels I've stayed in anywhere in Australia... and I've stayed in a few! I booked this at the last minute, and was not disappointed. Clean, tidy and with a really good vibe and a great location, can't really ask for more! The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The manager Sky was nice, friendly and... More

You can get to this place taking the airport shuttle bus. We arrived late, but informed the owners in advance, so no issues there. There was a curfew, but we were awaken by some people stomping around in the corridor. Overall, a great experience if not for some inconsiderate guests. More

I stayed at the hat for a week in may and i just loved it. The staff were friendly and amazing and the rooms and facilities are the cleanest if any of the previous hostels i've stayed in. On friday night there was a free BBQ with an adventure tours speaker who gave out bottles of wine :) My overall... More

This review is for the double room only, stayed in the double room for a week, but not the dorm. The location is great, only 5 minutes drive to city center, and it is near Northbridge chinese area where you still can get nice food at night. The room is not very big, but quite clean. No bed bugs and... More

I would just like to say that having stopped in the Hat from the start of Jan to around 20th Jan I had the best time and found the hostel to be clean, friendly and fun without being too in your face. There was a good mixture of age ranges as well most from mid twenties to early thirties which... More

I have recently left the hat after spending 4 months there so my review is based over a considerably amount of time. So here goes: 1. On the website it says that the plates and cutlery are without hire-charge, which is true but you pay a deposit. The reality is if you take your eye of them for a minute... More

Now I understand we can't get a good accommodation even though we pay more than the usual backpackers. We arrive as a couple on 10th of January 2012. I asked before the check-in by email if it's possible to check us in around 11 pm. When we arrived there, few people helped us to open the gate (quite safe backpackers... More

This place aint all bad. It has a cosy kinda charm to it. Travellers at the time were all fairly young (early to mid 20's), lively and friendly. A few long term stayers who are working in Perth. All rooms are ground floor level (no lugging your bag up stairs). The worst thing here was it wasnt the cleanest place... More
