I love the Manager Abe he is one amazing guy who knows exactly what u need. I arrived to Albany after a 4.5hr drive, found the backpackers lodge parked car and tyre blew. Abe heard it in my voice I was stressing as I had a film to shoot early the very next day. He made my stay comfortable, he’s easy to talk to, he’s one approachable manager who cares about his backpackers!

I cannot say as I loved everything

Huge heritage building ,very spacious quiet and clean . Absolute beautiful regular souls ,that stay there ,for close to work reasons , big families of strong honest guys with hearts of gold ,giving a great sense of security. Jarrah flooring throughout, but made a very quiet by means of colourful carpet tiles,very clever decor ,someone with great personality has put alot of effort into decorating this massive building ,literally minutes walk to town centre and the awesome Princess royal harbour. Great shower pressures in very clean sanitary bathrooms consisting of plenty of showers and toilets 🚻 upstairs and downstairs . Has every amenitie possible, huge pool tables , kitchens laundry facilities, list goes on . The most friendly kind hearted , interesting staff and staying travellers make this place worth every second of your time spent wonderful, very great price "unbelievably ly cheap prices for an experience in the most amazing historical built building, very quiet and respectful ,did not ever hear a single noise after 10pm Will be returning for a much longer stay in very tidy clean rooms with heaters high ceilings and the most comfortable beds and linen I have ever experienced, had the best night sleeps ever . This place has an amazing feel and spacious comfort, that will blow your mind .I want to stay there forever and the prices can definitely make that possible. Have to see to believe. Hidden away right in town. At first look, the large parking area is hard sand ,giving a false impression of this wonderful property, but once you enter the building you can see All the hard work professionals have put in to maintain this place ,which happens to be the 2nd oldest building in Albany. Can't fault anything at all . LOVED IT ,was charged only $130 3 nights in a peaceful double room WOW don't know how they do it .A definite must for travellers, to visit and experience Can't wait to return 😀

The front carpark area could do with a large garden making it more inviting ,to give the amazing building the justice it deserves 👏

It was very well managed and clean. The best hostel I've ever been to. The breakfast pancakes are delicious and this is a hostel with the best service. The staff are very friendly and everyone loves this hostel. I’ll definitely stay here again when I go to Albany. And the cat was really cute. Thank you!!

I don't understand how this place has less than 10 stars. We were welcomed by Riccardo, who was very friendly throughout our stay. Room was simple but comfortable. Bathrooms were always clean. The pancakes in the morning were amazing, congrats to the chef! We loved this place and would stay here again!

I liked the whole first experience of the backpackers. The staff were really good, friendly and very helpful, they would do anything to make our stay rememberable. The location could not be bettered.

The mix up with our booking which was the fault of booking.com

It's an old but awesome backpacker's for young and passing through people. Pleasant atmosphere, nice people. Alissa was excellent: friendly and helpful.

The pillows were too hard, the fridge (right next to the bed) was humming all night very loudly, the window was tough to close and full of spider webs. A guest had to prepare the pancakes (included in the accommodation price) as the staff member responsible for cooking them didn't wake up.

We stayed in a private room and was very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. There was a policy of no noise after 10pm and was true, after 10 was all very quiet. Pancakes at breakfast were delicious!

Kitchen was very dirty but cause of people staying there unfortunately.
