Hostel G

If I could give 0 stars I would. This was by far the most disgusting, unsafe and scary place I have ever stayed in my life. Not only did the staff make us feel unsafe with their rude and ignorant communication to the problems we was having but the man we shared a room with was rummaging through our bags thinking we wasn’t there, drunk and very clearly on drugs making us feel extremely unsafe as two young females travelling. When expressing this to the front desk there was no empathy or help provided. They hopelessly looked for the man that clearly wasn’t there but we was instructed to sit there until the man gets back from his night out, absolutely ridiculous. When asked for a refund for our three nights left ( bare in mind this hostel is the most overpriced I have ever seen) and now having to book a n expensive hotel last minute - homeless with no where to stay, we got told it’s 50/50 we’ll even get a refund which is insanity with the price of this place, the lack of facilities and terrible staff experience. Addy at the desk was no help, the blonde lady at the reception was extremely rude (no surprise there has been other previous bad reviews about this member of staff) and said ‘well you’ll have to book another hostel we can’t refund you’ leaving us homeless with no remorse - as a woman this shocked me, would love to see her to try to sleep that scared. All I can describe this place is like a bar full of men and rooms to go with. No sense of community or a safe environment for solo/ travellers. We walked out of our room every night being stared at and even wolf whistled on one occasion. Please do not stay at this hostel they are just greedy for money and that’s all they care about, not your safety.

Very nice hostel top location Hostel G Perth garners praise for its prime location, offering easy access to public transportation and the city center, which many guests find convenient. While the hostel's rooms are celebrated for their modern touches and practical amenities like individual power sockets and storage space, some guests have cited issues with noise, cleanliness, and room layouts. Opinions on value are mixed; some guests feel the pricing is fair, while others disagree.The service is generally regarded as helpful, yet there are occasional reports of variability.

Room was great, could have done with an extra pillow but that's personal preference. Corridors constantly smelt of burning or curry, we were told this was from the uni accomodation that was in the same building but wasn't very nice. Cool social spaces but the kitchenette was gross and a massive let down. Not even a hob to boil water, just two dirty air fryers and 2 microwaves, very little prep space and or utensils etc. With the investment in the rest of the building, this could be much improved.

I have stayed in a lot of hostels since being in Australia and I have to say surprisingly this is one of the worst. The rooms are nice, but the bathroom facilities are poor, one shower and toilet between 8 people is not ideal. There were no alternative showers so there was a bit of a wait to get out in the morning. The kitchen is poor, you cannot cook anything in there and it is very small for the amount of people the hostel takes. The social space is good but the lack of events made this a difficult place to meet people. Overall it’s very overpriced and I wouldn’t stay again.

The price is high compared to other hostels, but considering the cleanliness, it’s a noticeable difference. The high ceilings make it feel spacious, even if you’re on the top bunk, which is high enough that you won’t see anyone passing below. The common area in the hostel is very spacious, and most of the guests seem to be students. The beds are very clean, and the shared bathroom in the 4-person female dorm is also well-maintained. I didn’t use the sheared kitchen area, so I can’t comment on the cleanliness as mentioned in other reviews. However, for a short stay, I’d say this place offers great value.

If you’re a woman, DO NOT STAY HERE. We booked this hostel for seven nights, expecting a safe and comfortable stay. Instead, we barely made it through four before having to leave for our safety. We believed we had booked a female-only dorm, yet we were placed in a mixed room. When we raised our concerns with Addy at the front desk, we were met with outright rudeness. There was no attempt to accommodate our discomfort—just dismissiveness and hostility. On our fourth night, a new guest checked in, and it was immediately clear that something was wrong. He was very clearly on drugs and made us feel very uncomfortable. We woke up in the middle of the night to find him pacing frantically and rummaging through our belongings. We were terrified to move, let alone sleep. No one—no matter the circumstances—should feel so unsafe that they are forced to stay awake all night out of fear. As soon as he left the room, we packed our bags and went to the front desk but once again, we were met with complete indifference. At first, they simply offered to move us to another room—as if that would erase the fact that this man was still somewhere inside the hostel and we would have to see him daily. When we insisted that we didn’t feel safe, they half-heartedly looked for him before shrugging and telling us we’d have to wait in reception until he returned. We were then told from someone who overheard him checking in that he had asked for the full names of the people sharing his room and the blonde lady at the front desk had happily given them to him. A complete stranger—someone who had just violated our space—was handed our personal information. This is a major data protection breach an absolutely unforgivable failure on their part. At this point, we just wanted out. We asked for a refund so we could leave immediately, only to be told that there was only “a 50% chance” we’d get our money back. Both Addy and the blonde receptionist were disgustingly rude and passive-aggressive telling us that if we didn’t want to stay, we should “just book another hostel.” No concern for our safety. No accountability. They were more than happy to take our money but completely fine with leaving two young women stranded, scared and alone. Thank goodness we had each other and we weren’t solo travelling as this would have been enough for us to book a flight home.

I've planned everything once I'm In Perth and going back home safely. Thank you so much and hopefully I'll be back soon someday. I had a great time at the bar, lovely people and friendly. The best spot to be near the East Perth City even had shops nearby. much appreciated for being there. See You Again Someday.

The hostel was nice, very nice lounge and rooms. There wasn’t much space but just enough. The bathroom was in the room which is always a plus and it was very nice also. I didn’t really love the neighborhood but the train station was close as was the center. I also liked the bar/cafe in the lounge as they had great coffee and great deals (coffee+toasty for A$11). I did miss some activities (at least I didn’t see anything organized happening).
