Hostel G

I’m currently staying at Hostel G in Perth and overall it’s a decent hostel, but it has a few major drawbacks that are worth knowing about before booking. On the positive side, the rooms have air conditioning which is a big plusThe hostel is also very clean, which seems to be surprisingly rare for hostels in Perth judging by other places and reviews I’ve seen. The building itself is quite spacious and there are some nice chill out areas where you can relax during the day. However, there are some downsides. The biggest issue is the lack of a proper kitchen. There are only air fryers, microwaves, toasters and kettles available, so you can’t really cook proper meals. On top of that, there are only two fridges and two freezers for the entire hostel, and there’s no dry food storage at all, which makes it difficult to keep groceries. Another negative is the price. At around $80 per night it feels very expensive considering the limited amenities, especially without a real kitchen or adequate food storage. Lastly, the hostel isn’t very social. If you’re looking to meet people or for a lively backpacker atmosphere, you might find it a bit quiet. There’s no outdoor space either, which means people congregate outside the main entrance smoking - also no ash tray so cig butts everywhere which is not very appealing. Overall it’s clean and comfortable with good air conditioning and space to relax, but the lack of kitchen facilities, limited food storage, high price, and quiet atmosphere may make it less appealing for longer stays or budget travellers.

I loved it! Not only did I sleep very peacefully because everything is so quiet in the rooms, but there are also plenty of activities in the common areas. You can sit and relax or join in the activities the hostel organizes. I think the price-quality ratio is good. Everything was within walking distance, and the bus stops were also very close to the hostel. The people who work there are super friendly. It was my first time staying in a hostel, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. The place was very clean; I stayed for three days, and they cleaned the room every morning.

I had an amazing experience staying at this hostel — definitely a 10 out of 10. I’m from Chile, and from the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind. The staff in particular were always warm, welcoming, and willing to help with anything I needed. I felt truly cared for. I stayed in a mixed dorm room with six people and one bathroom, and even so, the experience was extremely comfortable and pleasant. The kitchen is clean, the facilities are spacious, and the common areas are great. There’s lots of social life and plenty of space to meet and share with other travelers from all over the world. They even have good beer, which is a nice bonus! Overall, I’m very grateful for my stay and would absolutely recommend this hostel.

Avoid at all costs. Somehow the most expensive, least maintained and poorly managed hostel in Perth. Exorbitant price for a mattress that you can feel each individual spring and a paper thin pillow with the constitution of loose dust bunnies. For high cost you still have to make your own bed, they don't even put on pillow cases or duvet covers (as other hostels do) and the top bunks are sky high so good luck with that. The "kitchen" is a wall of microwaves and a shelf of appliances impossible to use as there is only one small bench in the kitchen. Inadequate kitchen tools and very few dishes, I counted 2 forks, one of which I had to wash to use (and I only saw 2 people eating meals). This place feels like a slum that's been renovated and is actively overachieving in somehow still being a slum despite it all. The door on the bathroom sink was broken and stood ajar, a/c was inoperable, the main showerhead holder was broken and the alternative was placed in a way that pointed almost directly at the ceiling (who thought that was a good idea??) so it was impossible to shower unless holding the showerhead. Neither the shower or the sink drained properly. Room key must be in the wall slot or none of the room lights work which is very annoying when your bunkmate takes the key. In addition, Management needs to seriously consider some basic customer service training as the dark haired girl from India with glasses was confrontational and rude. When I called and asked about fridge space I was told don't worry even if the fridges are full we'll find more room for you. When I arrived and found the fridges full I approached this girl and her response was "yeah people often leave their food so you should go through people's stuff and throw it out" which 1) isn't guest's responsibility to do and 2)really poor hostel etiquette for guests to be throwing other guests items away. Meanwhile there were no labels in the kitchen and it was clear the hostel does not ever go through the fridges (YUCK). Further she stood directly beside the desk in uniform so I approached her to ask a question about activities and her response was a very abrupt and rude "I'm not working" (then why are you next to the desk?/you could direct me to your colleague) meanwhile the random person next to her was kind and helpful and answered my very simple question. Other staff when I called to book were also condescending on the phone and weirdly brought up why they have bad reviews because they have people that hate them.... uhm okay? Some basic interpersonal skills are desperately needed here. Further the refund policy is completely inflexible if you book on weekends. This place gets one star only because the girl that made the coffee was really nice and the coffee was decent and the French fellow was very helpful and kind. Utter and complete crap hostel, do not book under any circumstances.

Perfect hostel for backpackers, in a great location. Great kitchenette and laundry room makes life easy. Room was clean and tidy and the cleaners made the bed and new towels ever day!

I stayed in a glam only female room and it was great because it had its own bathroom and showers, my roommates were very nice girls , very respectful of the space and resting times. I didn’t use the other ammenities such as kitchen so I can’t give an opinion on that . One thing I would include is curtains alongside bunk beds for more privacy. The area was unamusing in my opinion but that’s not the hostels fault , it just wasn’t convenient in terms of shops and restaurants.tho always felt safe and quick access to cbd

It's a nice hostel but the kitchenette is really tiny 😭 and even the airfryer weren't working properly. Expect the kitchen, everything is okay. You can definitely met nice travelers.

Great location, close to train stations and museums and RAC Arena! Doesn’t have a bed curtain in the shared room. The toilet ensuite is of reasonable size and is best shared only with roommates. Responsive staff settled the sink drainage problem the other day after addressing the issue.
