Great value

We enjoyed our stay at Billabong. We don't usually stay at backpackers anymore and we had low expectations but then we were pleasantly surprised. Our private room was spacious with good shower, aircon/heating and a balcony. Lots of storage space. Pool is good, friendly service, cheap meals on site are backpacker friendly. Plenty of parking available on site at $8 per 24 hours. Easy access to parks, restaurants, CBD and a short uber ride to airport and other suburbs.

Leuk hostel met mooi zwembad. Het was alleen jammer dat het zwembad vol lag met blaadjes. Borden, bestek en kommen is schaars, maar ontbijt is verder prima. Het is ongeveer een kwartier lopen naar het begin van het centrum

No Hot water and bathrooms were filthy.

I stayed in a mixed dorm, 6 bed with ensuite bathroom. It was filthy. Had no hot water at night or in the morning. I checked out early and lost my pre-payment. I wouldn't stay there even if it was free.

Gezellig hostel in perth

Gezellig hostel in Perth met zwembad. Een super chille give hangt er in dit hostel. Gratis ontbijt is toast met jam en havermout of andere cereal met melk. De kamers zijn aardige grote. Met 6 personen en balkon. Badkamer an suite. Deze word goed schoongehouden. Belangrijke dingen in de buurt zijn op loopafstand. Supermarkten 5 min en de city centre 15 min lopen. Minpunten zijn de vering in de matrassen en veel werkende mede hostelgenooten. Dit maakt het wat stiller tijdens de week.

Great budget accommodation near the city!

The hostel was good, we were in a private room which was clean and very spacious. All rooms have ensuites and a balcony which is great. We had air con as well as a heater in the room. The $5 dinners each night are really good value for money, different meals each night. The pool area is always busy but maybe not the most social if you are new to the hostel, as many backpackers stay long term while working in Perth. It's also in a great area, 20min walk to the city centre and only 5-10min walk to northbridge which has loads of bars and restaurants. Also neat Hyde park which is great for a run.

Preiswertes Hotel zentral gelegen

Ein sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal, geräumige zweckmäßig eingerichtete Doppelzimmer mit einem Balkon, das Bad mit einem Mini-Waschbecken. Hinter dem Aufenthalts-/Speiseraum ein Hinterhof mit einem Swimmingpool. Eine große, gut ausgestattete Küche. Frühstück inkl. Die Sauberkeit der Tische im Speiseraum ließ leider zu wünschen übrig. Dies geht jedoch zur Last der Gäste, nicht des Personals. Entweder sind viele, überwiegend junge Gäste zu cool oder aber ich zu alt (wahrscheinlich beides).

reasonable price in good location for party people

this hostel is great for young people who like to party or travel alone and want to meet other travelers. the rooms and facilities are ok and the staff helps you. since perth is quite expensive its a cheaper option compared to a hotel room, however quite noisy in the night. so dont plan an early daytrip as we did ;)
