We loved the fact that it was a former prison and there is so much history in this place, make sure you do one the prison tours next door. Location was good, right next to the Fremantle market.
AustraliaReally nice hostel in heritage location. Comfortable and clean room and great facilities.
AustraliaThey had fun nightly activities which encouraged everyone to mingle. Complimentary breakfast really helped me save money during my stay :)
AustraliaGreat atmosphere, close to restaurants and shops. Staff were SO friendly and helpful.
United States of AmericaSuper interesting building with cool facts about the convicts and the prison. Liked that they kept the old cells and turned them into bedrooms.
AustraliaStaff were helpful and friendly, were able to check-in early as the room was available
AustraliaThis a nice hostel nestled on a hill in Fremantle. It’s actually a prison so you totally get the vibe you’re a convict. They did a great job thematically tying the history of the prison into the property. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They also offer breakfast which is a nice perk. Well organized here overall.
United States of AmericaHappy with the simple provided breakfast :) Room is comfy with clean toilet. Love the courtyard too. Kids having some play time there.
MalaysiaThe cottage was very comfortable and well equipped!
AustraliaVery cool setup! Lots of space to relax. Very clean
