The Shiralee Backpackers

I was one of the people that hesitate to book this hostel due to the reviews. But after staying here for 6 nights, I definitely would stay here again in the future. People and staff are friendly, no bed bugs, bed is spacious enough, room also quite big, not that much noise, clean in almost all area, and free breakfast! This is one of the best hostel.

We plan earlier and went in a big group and make a deal to have just our room. They worked for it. The experience there was nice! Nearby to everything u need, and they clean it everyday! They really provide everything u need just ask, thank you so much! Oh 1 more things they don't have bed bugs as mentioned in the review 😊

I've never stayed in a hostel before so booked my own room. For a place with so many people coming and going with their belongings it was very comfortable, with friendly, helpful staff. Clean kitchen and bathroom. Only recommendation would be that a fully stocked first aid kit be available and staff know where it is - better still accessible to anyone who needs it.

For the first time stay in the hostel I was like wow. More than what I expected. I love that they have a back yard and front yard to chill out. I was worry about the toilet but it was always clean. I definitely book again next time

Fantastic hostel just north of the city centre! I arrived really early so was able to leave my backpack while I went out to explore and they left the key on the desk for when I got back. Didn't interact with staff that much due to reception opening hours but every time I did they were lovely and friendly. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of toilets and showers. Would happily stay again!

Get what you pay for really. Have paid less for more in Perth though! Good location but hostel is very cramped

Couldn't even spell my name right half the time. Was based on the property for over 30 nights and needed 1 night without a bed before I got paid. No shame here.

My partner recently made a booking to stay in the Shiralee backpacker hostel in Perth Australia we clicked the non refundable option by mistake and tried for a refund but no luck which is okay. ||Upon arriving here the room is in absolute disgraceful condition chewing gum stuck all over the walls which you can see in the pictures I have attached dust and dirt all over the ceiling fan the room is freezing. As for the toilets they are a disgrace. ||This room cost 1600 euros as far as I’m aware and it’s not worth more than 100 a night IF EVEN. ||Appalling conditions and very uncomfortable and will not hesitate to let people know and share the experience we are having here with no other option as neither you nor the hostel would refund us. ||Just letting you know it’s the worst experience I’ve had in a long time! ||Below is just a handful of snippets I took I have worse ones! ||DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!

I have stayed at quite a few hostels and this is def one of the better ones. $60 for a double/triple room, nice staff and people living there, its clean and have a good kitchen for everyone to use. Close to city center as well. Would stay there again!

This is without a doubt the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. The reception desk, unmanned when I arrived, had warning notices intended to prevent the spread of bedbugs. How they failed. Perhaps I was not the typical hostel demographic, as I was working at the university when I stayed and thus needed to get up in the morning, but unless you prefer to be forcibly kept awake (if the bedbugs didn't already do that) listening to awful drunken renditions of Blur songs on acoustic guitar, you might also wish to look elsewhere. Oh, also, the showers were filthy.

probably some of the best facilitys a hostel in perth could have. it has been renovated since the last reviewer. **we popped in to check it out as i had been curious with the renovating taking place on my daily walk near the Brisbane street location, however i have not stayed a night here, more for looking at locations for relatives coming to stay. I have lived in Perth my whole life and one thing still is a reality as always.. the shocking prices of hotels..this hostel had better, newer facilities than most 3+ star hotels in Perth and quite frankly what some people charge on gumtree is a joke for short stay. From what i saw they had foxtel, internet, free internet according to a sign for a limited time, brand new bathrooms, rooms, carpets, laundry, sweet little kitchen set up with all new retro dehlongi appliances and tv lounge area, a small outdoor area which looked like it had either a vegie garden or it was just plants with seating and a vending machine. all under $40 a night. that is already better than any hostel/hotel in perth offers so i dont really care if some dude did play me blur on the guitar my value for money, experience would be better than the guy at the Duxton in a room you paid $100+ a night for, and the 2/3 star hotels in Perth are dated and have old bedding etc
