Britannia On William

This hostel is the worst, dirtiest, and worst in all of Perth. I've had countless bad experiences at this hostel. First of all, the staff were unfriendly. (I'm not sure if she's still working there, but there was one Asian woman with a nose piercing‼️ I've lived abroad a long time, but I've never seen anyone with such a strong personality. Her working days overlapped with my check-out days, and she was so irritating, she would drain my energy within minutes.) They ignored my greetings, didn't even explain anything about the hostel, and just demanded in a strong tone, "Pay your deposit!!" However, I never got my deposit back, and as soon as I arrived at the room, it was just filthy. It was cold that day, but there was no air conditioning. The futon was as thin as a towel blanket. There were no windows in the four-person room, and it was dark, like midnight, even though it was daytime. There was a vent, but the room was full of dust and mold, making it an unbearable environment. If I had stayed there a few more days, I would have had a nervous breakdown. My roommate, a large black woman, was racist. She treated me as if I, an Japanese, were not even human. Furthermore, during my stay at the hostel, I was persistently stalked by a Korean man, which shocked me and made me feel unsafe. I asked the reception to change my room, but they completely ignored my request. I can't believe it. There's also a nightclub nearby, which makes it very noisy at night, the washing machine is coin-operated despite being modern, and the toilets are only open between 8am and 9am! Who would want to live in a hostel like this? At the very least, I'll never use this hostel again‼️

At first, it look very old but after sometime, I can feel very relaxed and good atmosphere here. I can sleep very comfortably even I have to do a bit of hike/jump to my upper bunkbed. The mattress is very good quality and it can make me sleep comfortably, that's the most important.Also, the location is the best in the heart of Perth CBD and next to Chinatown, many yummy foods there.Bathrooms are plenty and very clean. Their staff customer service skill is second to none. Very happy staying here for three nights yeven if I have to do a bit of hike/jump to reach my comfy bed mattress (Other three upper bunkbed in the room are good, its have the ladder screwed properly, just my upper bunkbed. It's good exercises).

Its a well located, cheap hostel. The Canadian guy at reception when I checked in was helpful both at check in and when I decided to extend my stay. Can't stress enough how well located this place is. Good restaurant with great deals for backpackers right outside, and heaps of other solid options for food, drinks, coffee, bubble tea, whatever else you want are within a few minutes walk.

I love the location so much! Walking distance to so many places, CAT bus blue line bus stop is just 5 mins walking distance away. The facilities in the hostel is just nice. You can also pay $10 as deposit for towel.

This hostel offers good value for money and is located in the city center. The kitchen has ample utensils and space, but is generally clean. The staff is generally friendly, and they don't allow for next-day luggage retrieval. To borrow a hairdryer, you need to exchange your passport.

The room was alright. It's on the busiest street, with tons of restaurants and pubs, so expect some noise, especially on weekends. The kitchen's a bit of a mess, with stains on the stuff, and the fridge is packed. But hey, the price is super cheap, so you can't expect too much. It's good if you just need a place to crash.

Overall a pleasant stay.Located in Perth CBD, 6 min walk from train station. Just that when you checkout need to bring all the linen to the counter only they'll return the $40 deposit.

Chewed gums on the table in the room. Bit by bedbugs during my stay. Extremely smelly lobby. Waken up at 4 a.m. by fire alarm. Beds are comfortable, reception services are fine, location is great.
