I stayed one night in the female dorm. The room was very messy, smelly and dirty, shower room is also dirty. I was hardly to staying in the room cuz of that. They give me the blanket, bed sheet and pillow, which are so smelly and I think it wasn't washed after the previous usage. This is not the only... More

I stayed at this backpackers for 5 weeks and loved it. The location is incredible if you enjoy the beach as it is lyterally on your door step. The train station is a little bit of an effort to walk to but not too bad, its a good 15-20 minute walk, but there are bus stops outside the hostel. The... More

I have rated this place 'poor' and not 'terrible' as it was close to the beach, had a fridge and kettle in the private room and the shower was decent. The room is grubby, dubious stains on the walls etc. The hostel has signs saying no alcohol, no noise after 11pm etc but these are ignored and the hostel residents,... More

The service is very good!!!! The staff are very helpful and nice. The location is good because it's close to the beach. But the bedroom and bathroom are horrible! People lived this hostel. I've never seen something like that!!!! Clothes and foods everywhere!!!!

Found this hostel to be Beverly average although it was more of a weeks holiday at the start of a backpackers trip for me we (myself and girlfriend) felt left out of entertainment as most people who stayed there lived there. On the other hand the free BBQ night is defiantly worth a visit and location is perfect just a... More

Stayed here for a few nights. In terms of backpacker accommodation it is actually very very good. Obviously do not expect the Ritz, you have to be prepared to slum it a little but overall more than acceptable. It is very well run and the facilities are great. There is a nice cafe with free Internet connected to the entrance.... More

We arrived in November and stayed for almost three weeks in a 6 bed dorm. The rooms are big, bright and had high ceelings. We had our own bathroom and the whole room was cleaned daily! Staying there felt like luxuary compared to what we are in now! Such a great location and lovely people! We will be back!

This is an awesome hostel to stay in whilst in Perth. I've stayed here a couple of times and will definitely be back next time I'm in Perth. The beach is literally across the road and it is a close walk to the shops in Cottesloe. The staff are very helpful and friendly and it is a great place to... More

My recent holiday in Perth saw me returning to Ocean Beach Backpackers. The first time was three years ago and when I decided to visit Perth again last month, Ocean Beachpackers was the obvious choice. Clean and quiet accommodation, it is good value for money considering that cost of accommodation has gone up significantly since my first visit. The twin... More

This is by far the best hostel to stay in in Perth. When first arrived here my friend and I spent hours looking at other hostel that were all dirty and overpriced. We were so happy to get a room here, such a lovely place. Rooms were clean and with own fridge & bathroom, internet is not cheap but the... More
