YHA Fremantle Prison Reviews

Very good stay. Friendly staff, Lots of activities

Honestly, the price and service are completely mismatched. I can't believe I paid around $60 per night for the following experience: The shower only provides cold water, and there's a sign telling you to limit your usage time. The power outlet isn't located near the mirror, so using a hairdryer while looking in the mirror is impossible. The bed sheets are full of pilling, making them uncomfortable to sleep on. Outdoor tables are left uncleaned for days, with bird droppings in the same spot showing no sign of maintenance. The living room TV isn't connected to Wi-Fi, and guests can't access it to watch movies. The staff Wi-Fi is required, but even when asked, the staff claim they don't know how to connect it. The staff are not only unfriendly but outright dismissive, often saying, "That's not my job," when asked questions. I was deeply disappointed that this is the level of service offered by YHA. The only positive aspect of my stay was the friendliness of the other guests, but this has nothing to do with the service provided by the staff.

Very nice and clean hostel. The beds are comfortable and staying in a 6bed female room was just perfect for me. The hostel also organised a bbq night, quiz night, yoga, movie night and so on, which was great and easy to meet new people! The location is perfect too and Fremantle just a very nice area of Perth with nice beaches, good public transportation to the city center and a many cute coffee shops. Can only recommend :)

Cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in ( and in Fremantle )  Lovely staff, more on the quieter side if that’s what you are after :)

It's an unique experience to stay in a "cell" which I believe all rooms & bathrooms were converted from the prison cell. Walking distance to eateries but everything closes pretty early

Lush hostel only thing is being toilets too far away from rooms and not enough of them.

I spent four days there .staff always hang the smile on there face . WIFI is very strong in common room indeed I can use it in my room ,of course it will be a little weak but ok

Would highly recommend this hostel!! It’s in such a unique building, in a nice location and everything is being kept very clean at all times. The kitchen always was so clean you could lick nutella of the counters if you wanted to lol. Great showers, but I noticed that showers in Australia don’t have removable shower heads. Super friendly staff as well! The guy at reception was very experienced in the area and gave me lots of inspiration for fun things to do in Perth. Overall I had a delightful and satisfying stay!

Very excited about this speciality stay as it was stated the old prison facilities and had to try this experience. Was hesitant to share room with others so we took the entire unit by ourselves. The facade and surrounding like common area is nice and feels warmth. The single unit is using the cell units while the unit that we took is a newly erected wing so it's not the prison wing thus don't feel like prison but otherwise the outside and everything gives the prison vibes. Definitely recommended and must give this place a try at least once!

It was a quiet cozy and nice place to stay. Everything was good except bed sound. Whenever moving on bed happen, sound was caused and it make others in same room waked up. But only except it, all good!

decent hostel in Fremantle. we had the private room with shared toilets. the room was on the 2nd floor with no lift access so take note of that if you're choosing this room. rooms were also clean. there was also only 1 shower room and 1 unisex toilet on the 2nd floor so there's a wait sometimes. understandable for a hostel though :)

Nice location...friendly staff... great cooking area...

excellent little hostel, no complaints

Nice and Clean, having a really cozy reading area, also very quite. good place to live.
