Came to Perth by myself, feeling overwhelmed and alone. Luckily I checked into the Witch's Hat, where the management was extremely helpful and friendly. Not to mention they were able to ring the airport for me as my bag had been lost in transit. The people staying at the hostel were all fantastic and it began to feel like I... More

We arrived in Perth 12 hours late due to delayed flights, however the Hat management were welcoming & friendly and had even upgraded us to a private room (free of charge!), so we could relax and sleep after our long flight! We really appreciated the upgrade after a stressful flight, however the shared dorms are still great and a quiet... More

The 2 weeks my friend and I spent here were no less than a delight! The staff and other guests were so welcoming we had such fun! We were in a 4 bed dorm that was cleaned on a regular occasion, as well as the kitchen, bathrooms and communal areas. Couldn't have asked for a better stay and would encourage... More

First of all we have to say, that we're not in the target group anymore, as we are already 30 years old, and probably have a slightly higher standard set already. The reason why we chose this place was the location and its price. When checking and while our stay we did not find the staff quite friendly and helpful.... More

I have stayed in many hostels in Oz and can honestly say I have enjoyed my stay at the Witches Hat the most. It is smallish hostel with a good atmosphere. It's not a party hostel, but was still extremely sociable and i met lots of good friends. The staff were extremely helpful and the Manager, Sky, went out of... More

Great hostel! Friendly staff, good location and a good social atmosphere. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, and also a 2 bed dorm. The rooms are very clean, spacious and the beds are comfortable. Will defiantly be staying there again, when I head back to Perth next year.

We have found it really easy to meet new people and although its not 'party central', there is a great... More
