Hay Street Traveller's Inn

I stayed here last year (2024) in July, and I had a great time. I had great interaction with some of the other guests, a very eclectic bunch. I don't understand the negative comments at all. This is a hostel, not a 5-star hotel. The room i had ,although dated, was clean and functional. I didn't notice any bugs or rodents, and I made full use of the communal kitchen and fridges. As I needed some sheets, I had no trouble reaching the manager by phone, and he got them to me quickly. As far as im concerned, excellent service. If / when I visit Perth again, I hope i can get a room there again.

Not bad, not great. 0 communication or interaction from staff, did not see a single staff member my entire stay. No one to check in or out, so if privacy & being left alone is your thing, this is the perfect place for you. Not your typical “hostel” experience. Is quiet & people keep to themselves, which again for some is a plus. Although, there were a few solo men in their 50’s + who gave odd vibes during my stay, so as a solo female traveller was a little thrown off but nothing more to note. Was nice to have my own room, good wifi, good air-con. They give you clean bath towel for your stay. No mirror & no bin in my room. Would stay again if was cheaper. Location is great. Building was quiet at night.

I’ve stayed in many hostels, but this one is by far the WORST—and it’s way too EXPENSIVE for such low quality. The so-called "common space" has NO tables or chairs, so people are forced to sit on the steps with their plates on their laps, even elderly guests. It was sad to see them struggling to eat... Outside, CIGARETTE STUBS are scattered everywhere—it’s absolutely disgusting. In the private two-person room, there are only two beds, a single desk, and just one chair—so we couldn’t even sit and eat properly in our own room. Even worse, the AC runs all day long, and you can’t turn it off yourself. On top of that, you have to pay for WiFi, which barely even works. There’s NO reception, so the only staff member you ever see is the cleaner. This hostel is a disgrace to a beautiful city like Perth! 🤢

There was no interaction, no desk service, nothing. If you have a problem then tough it out. The room was dirty and disgusting and was only give a thin sheet as a blanket.

PROS: close to everything, quiet (as in no party but some construction is going on), clean, easy self checkin, pay parking next door. CONS: no social interactions, poor and basic facilities, mainly working guys, no aircon.

My partner and I stayed for two nights. Good location, at only 15min from the center of Perth. However, the room was very dirty, with black mold on the ceiling of the bathroom. The toilet is shared, the private bathroom is just the shower. It smells like humidity a lot (considering that there is black mold… not surprised), but the air vent carries a poop smell. It’s awful. The electrical outlets are put very high and there is only 3 in total. Our room was supposed to have some next to the bed, but there wasn’t any. I tried to reach the manager about all these issues to change room at least, but there is no phone number available and no one present at the reception. Very disappointed.

Terrible experience with this « hotel » for the price we paid (120aud per night) : the bathroom ceiling is full of black mold, with a bad humidity smelling, as well as the shower which is clearly not often… There is also no power supply near the bed, or…. 2m above the ground, near the roof (???) We were also a little bit concerned about the safety of our room, as the 4 digits passcode provided to open the door is composed by the room number for the 2 first ones. It’s also very noisy at night, as the walls are very thin. It recommend unless if you have no other option available.

The Inn is easily accessible, a three minute walk from bus stops that can take you to and from the airport, and with a local route bus stop right outside. It’s got all the necessary facilities, including a kitchen, dining and common areas, and a bookshelf for anyone who’s out of entertainment. It’s excellent value for money. The only issue I had was cleanliness. I can’t speak for the male- , but the female toilet facility could definitely use a thorough clean a little more frequently. Nothing terrible or health-threatening, just some accumulated grime as is bound to happen in a toilet cubicle. I stayed in a dorm overnight and was gifted a lovely soft blanket for my bed. It just would have been a lot nicer if I wasn’t pulling previous guests’ hair out of it all night. Overall, the Inn definitely isn’t a 5-star hotel, but if that’s not what you’re looking for then it’s an excellent choice. Great value for money, and friendly staff who are happy to help.
