We stayed here in April 2013 for 4 nights in Room 10. We were astounded to see how expensive accommodation in Perth has become, especially during the week. While mining may be a boom for the economy, it's killing the tourism industry in Perth! Given that, we struggled to find reasonably priced budget accommodation in Perth. The fact that we... More

I have never experienced more helpful staff before. When we checked in the young man managing reception actually helped us take our bags upstairs, "because there isn't an elevator" he said. Wow! The evening shift person was just as helpful booking a taxi for us. This is a very quiet hostel, unlike several in the area that looked just awful.... More

I booked this place through Hostel World online, very affordable at $33 AUD a night, I was in a 4 bed dorm. Unlike a lot of hostels or backpackers around the world, Emperor's Crown has airconditioning! It made a difference as it was hot during the 4 days I was in Perth, so nice to cool off. I had arrived... More

Hi! We're glad you would recommend us! We strive to keep the property as clean as possible and check the rooms every single day to make sure that this is the case! I will see if I can find a solution to the creaky bunk beds, as I can understand that it might wake you up if the person above... More

I only stayed for a night but the hostel is spotlessly clean and quiet (brillaint for a good nights sleep), and the Swedish couple working there absolutely amazing. You have to pay 20 dollars for cutlery (it's refundable once you give it back) which is a pain. But definitely worth a stay.

Everything is very clean and tidy with big spacious kitchen. We are a mature couple and had the double room with en suite and A/C, what more does one need. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wifi is not free but City of Perth provides free wifi in city centre, so easy to keep up with emails. It's not the party... More

The staffs at EC are great, they provide lots of information and provide thorough help! The rooms are clean and locations is great! The wifi needs payment AUD 1 for 10 mins, but found wifi at the nearby Cultural Centre which save a little bit on wifi charges for the trip. No pool or gym but there's a great kitchen... More

I arrived to Perth without knowing anyone but that immediately changed when I checked-in at Emperor's Crown. The staff is amazing, specially Seda and James, who became my family during my stay.
