If you are looking for a budget trip, it would be a great idea and lots of restaurants nearby. However, it is quite noisy during midnight and weekends (pub street).
Staffs are so helpful and nice.

A good place to stay for a few days. The toilets are also clean. That’s the important one. You also have the privacy
I only planned to stay one night, but it was so comfortable that I ended up staying a week. It's conveniently located near the station, and the staff are kind. The large kitchen makes it easy to interact with other residents. I had a comfortable stay, like being part of a family.
Great location ... pubs, eateries. Noise lasted well into evening, but it was a Saturday night. Really nice place. Bathroom/shower were good.

Food street/ pubs right next door. Bathrooms a bit average but staff were awesome and helpful. Some rooms have long term guests that can be a bit messy but not bad if passing through.

The Property and its Location wad awesome. However its a bit noisy in the evening as it is surrounded by Pubs, Bars and Restaurants.
Helpful staff and very clean Bathrooms and toilets. However Old smelly room carpets and Noisy Old wooden Corridor floor needed to be changed ASAP.
It was overcrowded too.
Northbridge is partyville so outside noise is maximim but in the hostel People are so loud banging doors and making noise on the paitio til 3am. The staff are really helpful and friendly and its central for everything . Parking is hellish, far away abd super expensive
Our stay as a couple in our seventies was very good we had a private room and although it was not en-suite it was comfortable and clean and absolutely ‘spot on’ for the cost, and if you were a couple in your twenties it is an amazing location for vibrant young night life. But if you like very quiet nights then stay elsewhere to enjoy Perth.
Well done B on W.

Strategic location and very near to Perth Station, Underground Station and Busport. Walkable to Myer, Murray and Hay Street eateries, shops, malls.
The only issue in this hostel is squeaky wooden floor. Hope this can be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise its really 5 stars hostel.
On first inspection this Hostel is slightly confusing and seems a little all over the place. But give it a day and you'll be won over. The staff are wonderful can't do enough for you . The atmosphere is friendly the rooms are clean and comfortable and there are bathrooms and a laundry and a kitchen on every floor. The ground level has a computer area a vending machine and an outdoor drinking area supreme where most nights the sound of music and a blend of young excited youths can be heard talking to their new friends. The dormitories are fairly typical the budget room is as it states budget and the double and single private rooms are a good size.
There is a $40 key deposit when you check in
This hostel is really big and there were a lot of people staying there during our trip. We found the hostel to be exceptionally noisy - groups of people laughing and chatting in the communal hallways at all hours of the night, washing machines being put on at 1am - there seemed to be no consideration for other guests most of the time. The facilities were great, showers and toilets cleaned daily to a high standard and water always hot. Didn’t use the kitchen because it was always too busy, but a very large (although very narrow) kitchen with lots of amenities if you wished to make your own meals. The location is the saving Grace of the property - in the middle of Northbridge, you can easily access Perth city centre from a 10 minute walk, plus the bus port and trans Perth stations within 5 minutes. An abundance of bars and eateries both up and down William Street make it great for going out and having drinks or something to eat or finding something to do. We loved the area, but the hostel itself was too big and too loud with inconsiderate guests for us.
Aside from Perth Underground being a bit confusing to get out of, this hostel is very easy to find and a very easy walk passing by lots of affordable food places, convenience stores, and pharmacies. Check-in and check-out was quick and painless. Courtyard area is nice if incredibly noisy, but I couldn't hear any noise from my room. Windows are only single glaze though so you can definitely hear party people on the street. Beds are fine, not super plush or super comfy but better than a fold-out couch or camp bed. Shared bathroom acceptable, good shower pressure. Wish the light was a bit brighter as it was hard to do make-up. One sink wasn't working but there's a few of them. Room came with a little table, clothes rack, and drawer under the bed for some storage, which was nice.
I am not the typical hostel guest and would not stay here long term as it can be very noisy. Stopping here for one night only was perfectly serviceable and very affordable.
I did not feel unsafe staying by myself as a lone female traveller. Anyone staying here long-term should be aware that this is truly a hostel with all that implies.
