Perth Hostels

• Perth City YHA: This central Perth hostel has an outdoor pool and a fitness centre on-site. Free WiFi and assistance booking tours are also great added touches to make your hostel stay even more convenient. You’ll be within a 15-minute walk from hot spots like the Perth Mint, Elizabeth Quay, and Perth Cultural Centre.
• Fremantle Prison YHA: This hostel is located in a historic prison building, but you’ll feel more like an honoured guest than a captive. It’s just a 5-minute walk to the Fremantle Markets and a 15-minute walk to Bathers Beach. Prepare for your beach day with complimentary breakfast and upload all your pics with the free WiFi.

• Wickham Retreat Backpackers: Staying at hostels in Perth doesn’t mean giving up convenience or comfort: you’ll get WiFi and a huge communal kitchen at this East Perth accommodation. You’ll also get a complimentary breakfast, but save some room—the hostel is a 10-minute walk away from lots of food options like seafood, European cuisine, and pizza along Royal Street.
• Kangaroo Inn Hostel: It’s a hostel that feels like a hotel—make new friends in the lounge or catch a movie in the home theatre. You can also cook up a meal in the gourmet kitchen or bring home leftovers from one of the restaurants like The Globe or The Italian Corner Pub on Wellington Street.

Hostels are a type of budget accommodation that allow travellers to book a shared room with a communal bathroom. By staying in a room with anywhere from an average of 4 to 12 people, you save on accommodation without skimping on location or amenities. Hostels are often in the CBD or other desirable areas and frequently have kitchens, bars and restaurants, lounge areas, and game rooms. You’ll meet other travellers and save your cash for experiences, which is what hostels are all about.
