An interesting place for a night’s stay, but it is a Youth Hostel, not a hotel 🙂 Stayed in one of en-suite rooms, purpose built out at the back of the place. Room is functional, clean, reasonably spacious with a TV, fridge and effective aircon but no tea/coffee/cups/glasses etc - though of course, being a Youth Hostel there is a fully equipped kitchen available.

No Freezer! We were not aware of this before we arrived and we had just bought a tub of icecream to have as dessert. I asked if they had a freezer that we could just store it in for a couple of hours and the male staff member was very rude.

This was my first time ‘in prison’ so I was skeptical. Despite rooming w 3 other blokes (it was a snoring competition), the room was clean and cool - the AC worked great! The amenities were plentiful!… HUGE kitchen, large area to ‘hang out’, washer & dryer facilities and daily events. Despite being sold out, the place was surprisingly very quiet. The location was less than a 10 minute walk to Freemantle’s shopping and restaraunt area. Also a 5 min walk to the Freemantle Prison tours (4 on offer) - the best tour was the underground tunnel tour!!!) All-in-all, if you don’t mind sharing a room, this place was well worth the price!
