Wallaby Backpackers Hostel Perth

Only location is good… It’s an nasty old not maintained building… It’s not social at all and the free breakfast is just 2 packs of cereal and some milk. Everything is old and not maintained, it’s also NOT social. There was also an old drunk guy multiple nights screaming, even so bad that the police came, but hours later he wat still in the hostel… And way too expensive for that unsocial prison

That was great and cleaner than I expected . Pretty much everything in the room, except kitchen. This hostel isn’t typical party hostel. I reckon everyone would stay there without stress. I’d love to stay here again if I’ve got chance.

Good hostel , but no elevator although it has 3 high levels and I have had my food eaten by someone, it dissapeared from inside the fridge and also in my room I had a guy who was snorring like you wont believe! Big kitchen and large rooms are cons. It was ok for a few days I have stayed...

Wallaby Backpackers Hostel is strategically located near Perth Station, Murray Street, and the bus stop. The nightly rate is around USD 65/night, and bookings can be made through the OTA Agoda. I stayed here for 4 nights. The staff are friendly and informative. Choose a single room with a private bathroom, which is quite spacious. The room and bed are clean. AC is good. Unfortunately, there’s no elevator, so it’s better to request a room on the first or second floor.

I arrived around 13:00 and staff were present to let me in. ||I was pointed towards my room and it was ok. At the door way there was a stained carpet but once in the room it was ok. |I wanted a room to myself with a clean bathroom, bed linen and a decent lock. I also wanted to be in easy reach of the city centre. The staff were nice enough and allowed me to leave my luggage for a few hours after check out. They also suggested museums that might be worth seeing. |By chance the other residents were also ok. ||Having seen other reviews I’m not sure what they expect for the money. ||It definitely needs money spent on it such a new bathroom door in 107. ||It’s certainly aimed at temporary workers that come and go rather than holiday makers. For example it’s impossible to see out the windows due the other buildings being so close to it. ||Overall I’d definitely recommend to anyone wanting cheap central room and only intends to sleep in it. ||Go in with your eyes open and it s a super cheap room with the bare essentials.

Very dirty place. Very noisy - they need to change the very old windows. The train tracks are next to the hostel and you can hear the train until very late and early morning. The beds were comfortable and the location is great

I liked this backpackers, it's always nice when the receptionist welcomes you with a smile. Another staff member saw me carrying a lot of stuff and asked if I needed help. Having kind helpfull staff makes all the difference.

I think the Wallaby Backpackers Hostel gets a raw deal in the reviews. I spent 10 nights there and felt very comfortable! It's an old but very nice place. The floor creaks and yes it doesn't have an elevator but that's part of the charm. The staff are really nice and helpful! The bathrooms are always thoroughly cleaned and the rooms checked. The mattress protector was even changed during the time I was there, something I have never experienced in any other hostel. The kitchen and dining area is unfortunately often a bit dirty or grubby, but this is unfortunately due to the other guests who somehow don't make an effort. During my stay there were a lot of French people, but also guests from other countries. I would definitely stay at this hostel again, especially because the location and the staff is great😊
