Britannia on William - Hostel

Clean room and friendly staff

If you want to sleep at any point during your trip. DO. NOT. STAY. HERE. Firstly, I'm not a moaner- I've travelled all over and stayed in some notably rough places but this hostel was by far the worst. First, the noise was unbearable- long termers sit downstairs and in the corridors shouting (and I literally mean this) till all hours of the morning and staff (which there is always one manning reception 24/7) do absolutely nothing about it. There is no noise proofing in rooms as there is an open netted window above the doors, so it feels like everyone is literally in the room with you. In the morning from about 5am (so you've had at this point maybe 2 hrs of "quieter" time since the night people have stopped) everyone starts stomping around (the floor boards are so noisy) and talking loudly and again you hear EVERYTHING, I had to sleep with my headphones at full volume playing white noise to get any ounce of sleep. I'll keep the rest of this mess brief, my room was infested with these tiny flies that covered all the walls. The bed sounded like it was going to fall to pieces, any move and the squeaking noise was insane- I had to move beds but safe to say it wasn't much better. The place is just worn down, showers either broken or boiling/freezing, toilets broken or gross with sanitary bins overflowing, not worth a single dollar let alone 60 odd a night!- I've literally paid 2 dollars for a night in better in SE Asia. Please please do not waste your hard earned money on this.

Good backpackers. Huge kitchen and dining . Nice people

Excellent

A good place to stay for a few days. The toilets are also clean. That’s the important one. You also have the privacy

The bar downstairs plays music at 12 o'clock every day, so we can't sleep.

Very noisy at night, not clean (carpet), dirty shared kitchen and bathroom. The double room is lit all night by the corridor light.

On first inspection this Hostel is slightly confusing and seems a little all over the place. But give it a day and you'll be won over. The staff are wonderful can't do enough for you . The atmosphere is friendly the rooms are clean and comfortable and there are bathrooms and a laundry and a kitchen on every floor. The ground level has a computer area a vending machine and an outdoor drinking area supreme where most nights the sound of music and a blend of young excited youths can be heard talking to their new friends. The dormitories are fairly typical the budget room is as it states budget and the double and single private rooms are a good size. There is a $40 key deposit when you check in

Cheapest place to stay in 4 bed female. The kitchen and eating area was dirty msinly due to overcrowding of stuff. Some people don't wash up which makes it worse. The dorm was clean and the bathrooms and showers too. Reception was manned all the time which is rare. I'm staying another 2 times after my tour and I'm upgrading to a single room on my last stay as it is the cheapest in Perth.

.

The Property and its Location wad awesome. However its a bit noisy in the evening as it is surrounded by Pubs, Bars and Restaurants. Helpful staff and very clean Bathrooms and toilets. However Old smelly room carpets and Noisy Old wooden Corridor floor needed to be changed ASAP. It was overcrowded too.

Great stay. It's a hostel - let's not get it mixed up. You get what you pay for. Definitely one of the better hostels I have stayed at

No

Nice staff in a great location. Not very clean and the place is a bit run down.

Aside from Perth Underground being a bit confusing to get out of, this hostel is very easy to find and a very easy walk passing by lots of affordable food places, convenience stores, and pharmacies. Check-in and check-out was quick and painless. Courtyard area is nice if incredibly noisy, but I couldn't hear any noise from my room. Windows are only single glaze though so you can definitely hear party people on the street. Beds are fine, not super plush or super comfy but better than a fold-out couch or camp bed. Shared bathroom acceptable, good shower pressure. Wish the light was a bit brighter as it was hard to do make-up. One sink wasn't working but there's a few of them. Room came with a little table, clothes rack, and drawer under the bed for some storage, which was nice. I am not the typical hostel guest and would not stay here long term as it can be very noisy. Stopping here for one night only was perfectly serviceable and very affordable. I did not feel unsafe staying by myself as a lone female traveller. Anyone staying here long-term should be aware that this is truly a hostel with all that implies.

for what I paid for a single room in prime location it is a value for money deal. Just that the room only has a fan and if your room is close to the outdoor garden, it can be noisy over night because this is a backpacker lodging. Shared Toilet and bathroom are rather clean and tidy. There is a lift available to go upstairs. Just that the luggage storage is usually in overflow state.

Northbridge is partyville so outside noise is maximim but in the hostel People are so loud banging doors and making noise on the paitio til 3am. The staff are really helpful and friendly and its central for everything . Parking is hellish, far away abd super expensive

No in premises parking facilities.

Won’t consider shared room.
