Lock in a great price for Fremantle Prison YHA – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything! We came on the day they give free pasta. The staffs is very helpful

Ainul, Malaysia

Clean public areas. Great if you want to stay in the prison grounds - do the tour! Would stay again. Clean private room although did have funny smell. Ask about parking as you can rent a space from them for cheaper .

Abbie, United Kingdom

Beds are the best, nice and clean hostel not too crowded.

Barbara, Australia

The experience of staying in a historic jail in a cell in the female wing and reading all the information and looking at the photos of the inmates and their life stories. Very warm and kind reception staff (English from Essex) who is helpful and obliging.

Blue, Australia

Great location. Unique experience staying in a prison. Clean

Jason, United States of America

it was a historic quirky place to stay and although it wasn’t a 5 star hotel, the cleanliness and comfort of the place was 5 star. You couldn’t really fault any aspect of the experience...great affordable family fun!

Amanda, Australia

If you want to stay somewhere a bit quirky and with loads of history stay here. We also did the torchlight tour at the prison which is a must if you are staying here.

Lisa, United Kingdom

Such a great, fun experience staying at the prison. We'll be back again for sure.

눉Most of the staff was great except my last experience with a women behind the counter. I was trying to make a call to the friend I was meeting and the WiFi wasn’t working well enough to call with Skype. I kindly asked to use the phone for this quick call and was told no public calls were allowed. If I wanted to use a phone I could go to the library as they have one there. I stayed here 3 nights and they couldn’t let me make one call (this is prison, lol). I then kindly asked if she personally had a phone I could use. She got extremely defensive and irritated by my question repeating 3 times I can’t use her phone. Then offers me to use the hostel phone for $1. WHAT A JOKE!!!
눇Great location. Unique experience staying in a prison. Clean
