The Hive Hostel

There is only one men's toilet and then two unisex portaloos in the back yard. The one men's toilet doesn't have a lock on it. The place is generally filthy and in desperate need of renovation. I only stayed for one night thankfully cos I wouldn't want to have to use the facilities here. Definitely got party vibes and easy to meet people but I'm pretty sure it's literally illegally badly equipped and would fail a health inspection.

I stayed at the hive for 3 months the hostel has so much character and charm. Many of the staff are backpackers so warm and welcoming the hostel amenities are sublime and the highest quality i couldn’t think of a better stay in Perth. Such cheap rooms it’s a wonder they even make a profit with how much they offer you. I will be returning.!!

Very disappointed with my stay. This hostel was a terrible experience from start to finish . The place is not clean with dirty bathrooms and common areas . It is extremely noisy at night , with loud parties , shouting and no respect for guests who want to sleep . There is no proper management to control the noise or maintain cleanliness. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a safe , clean and respectful place to stay. Avoid this place , you can find much better options in Perth.

I have been here for 3 months so far and have loved my time here. The hostel is super social and it’s very easy to make friends here. There is a large backyard and lots of common areas. Staff are friendly and helpful. The location is also perfect as it’s a 5min walk into the CBD. Would recommend if staying in Perth!

This is by far the worst hostel i've stayed in (and I've stayed in many). First of all, they completely messed up our booking and split our party into 3 separate rooms and when we asked to change were met with a very rude response from the staff! Secondly, the hostel room themselves are some of the grimiest I've seen, with mattresses as thin as paper with sheets that don't fit the bed and bed frames that make the loudest noise when you make the slightest move. Thirdly, the hostel is like a mini France, so if you're not french don't expect to make any friends or be treated well! We received a fair amount of disrespect from the other guests... Lastly, I am of the impression that the hostel does not treat its staff well. I had one receptionist tell me they've had to work a 15 hour shift regularly (5am - 8pm), and being paid absolutely minimal, and other staff constantly complaining how tired and overworked they are as well. The ONLY saving grace of this hostel is its good location, but there are plenty other hostels in the area, so I would avoid this one at all costs! (it's not worth the cheap price, trust me). This hostel is in dire need of a thorough inspection Stay safe travellers xx

The hostel was not clean at all. The room and bathroom were dirty, and even the bedsheets looked and smelled unwashed. The overall hygiene was terrible. On top of that, the staff were unfriendly and unhelpful. I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here.

I had an amazing stay at The Hive Hostel! The atmosphere is super friendly, the common areas are always clean, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. A huge shoutout to Suzie at reception — she does an incredible job! Always smiling, helpful, and welcoming, she truly makes the stay even better. You can really tell she loves what she does, and it’s thanks to her that the hostel feels so much like home. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely staff that does as much as they can but the place is just embarassing. 4 toilets for 100+ people +2 only for women...the kitchen counts 2 fry pans, 3 pots and 5 flat plates....owners need to invest and improve the place, especially bathrooms and kitchen area
