Lovely hostel in Fremantle. Such a cool building and in a good location. Staff were lovely and room was okay but matched description. There could have been more bathrooms as only 1 for about 10 rooms on the top floor, so we were waiting sometimes. But there were more downstairs.

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!

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.

Loved my stay here! It wasn't the nicest place but it's a prison so that is to be expected, and I thought it being a bit run-down made the experience more authentic. I do wish I was able to explore more of the buildings without having to pay for a tour though...

Unique experience staying in the old prison.
Check out time was10am and no staff till 10am, so if you want to check out earlier or need assistance from staff, need to ring via phone at the reception.

Lovely stay both dorms and private rooms!

Lovely stay! I've stayed in both the dorms and private rooms. I was skeptical at first, but enjoyed all of my stays here and would prefer it over to staying in the city.

I stayed on my own in a self-contained room (double bed and a double bunk) so my \"excellent\" rating should be viewed in that light. The price was very reasonable compared with local hotels, it is very convenient for the centre of Fremantle and, of course has lots of character. I'd definitely go there again.

This was the cleanest and user-friendliest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect if you want to be close to everything but bot right I. The middle of it.

The hostel is part of the old prison and most of the rooms were actual jail cells. The majority of the prison is attached with tours. Do the nighttime torchlight tour - you won’t be disappointed.

Perth is easy to get to by train and the ferry to Rottnest is just a short walk away.

I’ve been staying in hostels for years and this has been my favorite.

We stayed in another newer part of the hostel where we had a private bathroom which is quite clean and is better than expected. If you want to live in a cell, you have to share a bathroom. The breakfast is simple with cereal and toast but you can buy your own and cook by yourself.

A comfortable night in the slammer

Friendly check-in, comfortable bed, i got a good night's sleep on a Friday night so any partying is obviously confined to the common areas. It definitely feels like a prison and a prison cell, and when i toured the main prison the next day i could see into the hostel garden. Clean bedding but when i had to strip the bed (as required) there were stains on the mattress cover and pillow. There also didn't seem to be many showers/toilets, only one for the cell block and only two/three in the main block/common area. I stayed for one night only so this wasn't a problem but might be an inconvenience for longer stays. Overall a great location and fun experience.

Fremantle Prison YHA, what a place to stay!

This old prison, now a hostel, is very nice and our stay was great! It's a very easy walk to the main town area, which has so many places to eat and do touring around. Food in the area is very good, and there are a couple of very nice breweries to relax and have a tasty brew. The train is very convenient to take to Perth, or you can also take a ferry there. The one thing that would be nice is to have some free walking tours of this area since there is so much history in the area.

Room Advert NOT Correct

I booked this room through WOTIF site.
And I will NEVER do that again.
The room I booked was not available, but that's what Wotif advertised.
NOT YHA's Fault.
Wotif DID the WRONG thing

Great hostel with excellent facilities

We stayed in a family room with an en suite shower. It was clean, good size and had a small fridge. The communal areas were very good especially the huge, well equipped kitchen and the staff were good. It's a great quirky place to stay and we really recommend it for a family
