This would be a great place to stay, the location is great, the rooms are huge, it's one of the cheapest hostels in Freo! BUT they have a massive bed bug problem. I don't think I saw of one person staying there who wasn't scratching from a bed bug bite. DO NOT STAY HERE! It's not worth it. If you're... More

This is the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. Got so many bites from staying there just a few nights. Even the staff are covered in bites but they don't seem to care. The fridge is filthy with broken eggs and spilt food all over the floor. It is dangerous to keep food in. The ovens constantly leak gas.... More

The hostel is in one of those old, charming buildings that could be incredible and beautiful if someone were to just put some money and time into renovating this building. The problem is that there has been no upkeep for what appears to be a really long time. We booked a private room, knowing that the place had some bad... More

We stayed for one night only and my boyfriend was bitten by bed bugs. Horrible atmosphere, grumpy staff and smelly rooms. In the end we had our money back, which was the only good thing! More

Good points - location (reasonably central), hot showers, beds ok, decent sized rooms, free parking Would not stay here again, got a campervan and... More

It's basically a boarding house. No sign of other backpackers/ travelers and a lot of dodgy characters. We were also locked out after coming back late one night which we hadnt been warned about. Given the number of excellent hostels in the area, there should be no need for anyone to stay here. More
