Personaly I love brittania, had a great time here! The location is perfect, in the middle of Northbridge, 2 minute walk to trainstation and city centre. Best thing about the hostel is the backyard where you easily meet people, great hostel for people who travel on their own. If you are looking for a nice room though, this is not... More

We just had little time in Perth, so we decided to book a Hostel near the CBD. The "cheapest", after a long search for a reasonable price, was the Britannia.The prices for rooms near the citycenter are overly high in general, but what we got for 60 AUS$ was really not what we where expecting for this price. We had... More

We only stayed one night in this backpackers and booked it purely on its location, being very central. On check in were told that we had to pay $20 for a room key deposit, and I guess this is standard practice. Cash only can be used, although to their credit there was an ATM on site. We booked a double... More

This hostel was on the whole, very good. It is one of the cleanest hostels I have been in for a while. The bathrooms were immaculate, and there were more than enough showers and toilets so I never had to wait. They were cleaned daily, and to a high standard. The kitchen was very well equipped. There were enough cooker... More

Horrible place. Stayed one night here before a trip up the West Coast. Had pre-booked a 4 bed dorm room as there were 4 of us and we had to get up early in the morning. Got split up into different rooms. No air con and the fan on the wall was broken. No windows either. Not very secure as... More

For 25 AUD a night what do you expect! It is not a horrible place but it was not great! The kitchen is not open all night which sucks if you need a snack, the "lockers" were falling off the hinges, the bathroom didn't always have soap, and it was just generally dirty! The location was good, the price was... More

We had a double room which was pretty basic (1 chair, 2 beds and a fan), and a little cell like, but fine overall. The bathrooms are excellent, loads of shower stalls, cleaned regularly and never busy either! The kitchen has a massive line of hobs, which could potentially house many guests cooking, although this specific area was a little... More

I stayed here for 1 night in the 4 bed dorm. The room was basic,there were no lockers or furniture to store luggage. It wasn't the easiest top bunk to reach either. I'd to climb up the bottom of the bed as there was no usual side ladder which was awkward to do as there was load of luggage at... More

A huge old house, efficiently run by fun people. Smack in the middle of town, close too many bars and super clean. No to expensive Wifi and internet. It seemed many found a long term place here and I don't blame them. If you're going to Perth you have no choice but to stay here!
