Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Hostel G is the best hostel in Australia that I ever stayed. Room is big space, clean and comfortable. The public space is also very big and there are lots of table that we can seat and work well. I love that they give lots of public space for the customers instead of doing a lots of room for making profit. I am happy to recommend this place to my friends!

    The owner is so friendly and very understanding. They even picked us up (in the rain) when we can't get a taxi, for a very little charge 😍. We got dropped off to the airport for a cheap charge. Everything is well prepared for us and very accomodating that is why we always love to stay here. You can even store ur vehicle in their locked garage for extra fee, at least u know it's safer than leaving it in an open parking space at the airport👍.

    Best hostels in Perth City if you are looking for private rooms on a budget. They are doing renovations at the moment but nothing that would bother your rest in the evening. Ask the owner for a discounted rate if you are a repeat customer.
