Quokka Backpackers Hostel Perth

Not recommended if you want a pleasant stay but okayish for a single night. Our 2 person private room had no window except a small square in the ceiling and an AC. Washrooms and showers are clean enough - however, basins are placed directly in the hallway. Kitchen/dinning room is dirty and not well maintained.

After living in this hostel for six months, I can say that despite a lack of certain amenities, it’s a great place overall. However, I want to point out that what really made this hostel enjoyable was the friendly, laid-back backpacker atmosphere. Unfortunately, that has changed since the arrival of a new staff member, Steven, who constantly acts like a police officer and, on top of that, is not even capable of doing his job properly (booking issues, misunderstandings, removing my belongings for no reason…). This person has ruined the warm, welcoming vibe that made people want to stay here.

My food got thrown out/put in “free box”. The cleaner picks up my bag, looks at the side (where my name is written on it), puts the eggs in the staff fridge and everything else in the other fridge. Do with that as you will. Apart from that the stay was pretty good.

The hostel was pretty good in general before a new worker arrived, Steven who thinks he’s a teacher in a kindergarten school. You feel like you’re back in school and the teachers are looking at you. Otherwise the hostel itself was good and people aswell

"Not a party house", just a football field on the backyard until 2 am, so pray for a bed not close to the windows. Quiet times? Good luck finding them.

All in all the hostel is alright. You get a relatively cheap place to sleep in a very good location. But other than that it’s not that great. Our private room didn’t have windows (only a small one in the ceiling which couldn’t be opened) and was very small. There was AC which was good. The showers and toilets were alright but not special. There was a kitchen which is very much how the kitchens are in hostels. Relaxed but not tooo clean! Overall not that great but since there are not that many hostels in Perth and the location is good it’s a valid option!

Just stayed there great hostel. Very quite. Slept very well. The rooms were great temperature. And very clean aswell 👌👌💯💯

I had just one night here. And that’s good. Staff is great! But the room and common rooms are super outdated. Seems not very clean to me. The mattress was already worn out in the last century. Room was very small. No curtains!
