I ended up at Sundancer Backpackers out of desperation when I needed a place to stay in Fremantle. And while I wasn't too unhappy that I ended up there, I definitely felt that the place was made for long term residents. The staff on reception where pretty abysmal for the most part - not interested unless you were one of... More

Stayed a couple nights and does seem geared more to longer term stays as there were several people that obviously were working while staying here. The pool out back is a nice feature, big tables out back for smokers that's a very social area. Huge kitchen (not very clean) and plenty of fridge space. Several lounges around, big telly (always...

When we arrived we didn't get the expected Aussie welcome. It was night but hardly late, 7.30pm, but the girl behind reception couldn't really be bothered to do more than the bare minimum. No mention of the renovation work (hammering from 8am) that was taking place or what the house rules were with the kitchen (plates etc are kept behind... More

Stayed here a few years ago during my travels in Australia. The place is massive but great for meeting new people and making friends. The dorms are spacious and bunkbeds are not too uncomfortable. Bathrooms are modern and acceptable for showering. The downstairs living area is open planned and has a wide-screen telly with satellite telly. They offer internet but... More

I actually give a 3,5, a good rating. I stayed at Sundancer for three months and I had good times there. There's good and bad things about this hostel. I'll start with the good ones; I think this hostel is made for long term guests. When you work around - the hostel had a great location to find work in... More

The best thing I can say about this hostel is that it's really well located. We were happy with that. Otherwise, it was a pretty feral experience. My boyfriend and I asked for a private room with an en suite. Our room was small and furnished with a bunk bed - double mattress at the bottom and a single at... More

I did not like Sundancer. I was promised a female dorm and ended up in a dorm of 8 (supposedly) females. There were two couples, the girl sharing my bunk had a guy every day for sex and I felt I was interrupting something, when I realised I had paid for my accommodation and was not given what I paid...

Great place to stay either short or long term. Friendly service by the manager, night manager & all bar staff. I wouldn't trust many of the other bad reviews, as most of them seem to be written by older people who would be ill suited to a fun, vibrant party atmosphere. Yes the kitchen may be unclean during certain times... More

I stayed here with my dad and partner for 1 night. We have stayed in some lovely backpackers hostels in the past that have been clean, basic and have had great amenities. This hostel though was disgusting. When you enter the foyer, the walls smell of old food. We were asked to collect a fluffy blanket (which hasnt been washed... More
