Super interesting building with cool facts about the convicts and the prison. Liked that they kept the old cells and turned them into bedrooms.

Staff were helpful and friendly, were able to check-in early as the room was available

This 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.

Too noisy to sleep during the night. Room was dusty including the pillow cases and bed linen. Not enough showers and toilets on the floor.
Friendly staff. Value for money. Trying to do a positive difference than a regular hostel. Much needed experience in a prison cell and ambiance. Discounts if you are to buy a tour in the prison.

Just outside of town, the prison YHA offers a quiet and relaxed place to stay. With breakfast included our family room with a fridge, AC and our own shower room this was excellent value for money.
