I stayed there for a couple of nights. Good location, quiet but the dirtiest place I've ever seen. Spacious dorms, big lockers where you can fit your backpack. Lack of atmosphere. Definitely overpriced.

Encountered two members of staff the older man was rude the younger woman was nice. The kitchen was a good size and they had a good system for the fridges etc. We had a double room with shower and shared toilet. It was grand, although a little dated. The linen could do with being replaced. The shower was its main... More

I found the place on a booking site where the rate was 65 dollars per night. Because it was not clear to me if we could check in in the middle of the night, (it is not possible, though they later claimed to have night staff), I made my booking directly by e-mail for one day later. However, upon arrival... More

We arrived and nobody was on reception, when the manager did turn up he was extremely rude and unhelpful. I requested to be charged in AUD but he charged me in GBP because "that's the way we do it here", he just wanted to make money by giving me an awful exchange rate. The rooms were filthy, the linen smelt... More

We stayed 3 nights at Hay Street Backpackers in Perth. Our first impression was a very unfriendly guy at the reception. We stayed in a double room next to the pool. The provided linen was dirty, the whole room quite messy. The enclosed shower did not really work. The shared toilet was simply disgusting, even after asking at the reception... More

Really quiet hostel, it almost seemed that we were the only ones there. The room was clean and the swimming pool was good. Location not the greatest. Liqour store were near, so that's a plus. When came back to the hostel in the evening, the gate was closed, so we needed to climb over it.. Nice. Kitchen utensils were old... More

Hay Street Backpackers is a good place to stay. The location is great and the staff is friendly. Our room in the back was quiet. Our room was clean, the kitchen area was pretty clean, lots of people cooking so it wasn't spotless, but it wasn't bad. Free WiFi was a plus.
