Pirates is a cozy hostel with personal style! It was the first hostel I came to when I visited Australia and I had an amazing start there! I think the best thing with Pirates is the relaxed athmosphere and foremost the staff!!! They really care for you personally and I also had help to find my first job when I... More

My 1st time in Australia, my first hostel. It´s not modern, but has everything you need: kitchen, tv room, backyard with bbq, pool table, sitting areas where you can check your mails or chat with other ppl, enough doorms and facilitys. But that´s not the important thing. Which made my stay so great was the crew. I was scary and... More

Booked Pirates for 2 days and I remember a guy saying I'd be here forever and I laughed as it was totally not my plan. Erm, 4 months later I sadly left my new home and some awesome friends and had had a very memorable few months here. Not the best place for a good night's sleep (on the balcony)... More

I planed to stay here over Christmas 2011 but I checked out after one day. The hostel was filthy, the rooms and carpets stank and looked very dirty. The bed linnen smelt. The hostel was very run down and the bathrooms were disgusting. I was in a 6 share room and the room was an adequate size except I couldnt... More

This review is very inaccurate....some facts straight up in response ; 1. There is no pub next door. There is a cafe which closes at midnight 2. The hostel has more than 2 bathrooms 3. There are not always men in the female bathroom. In fact, we can easily say that in 2011 we did not hear of one complaint... More

Really good hostel, we had so much fun there! Could have stayed longer if we had had enought time. Friendly staff and cute cat!! Inner court was nice and people were hanging out there. Dorms were okay. Girls had their own bathroom which was good. The only problem was kitchen which was dirty and way too small. Great parties everyday!... More

I spend a week at the pirates and I really loved it. The hostel itself is not too big and very cosy so its easy to get in contact with the other travellers and very soon you feel like part of a big family ;-). The rooms are nice, clean and you have a big locker. Everyday there is some... More

Hey guys! Thanks for giving me a home during the six 6 weeks I stayed with you. Pirates is definitely one of the best hostels I’ve seen in Australia so far. You have nice bedrooms, enough showers with WARM water and even a ‘only female’ shower =) The court yard is fancy to sit outside in the evenings, which finally... More

I have visited Perth twice and each time I have stayed at Pirates!! As soon as you arrive you instantly feel at home. It is smaller than other hostels so you get a real family feel and I have made some amazing life long friends. There are always activities going on and trips away, and amazing fancy dress parties. I... More
