This was such a unique experience. The facilities were great, including the kitchen and outdoor areas. Very sociable hostel.

Price is great for a double with ensuite. Walking distance to everything in Freo. Was quiet.

You actually get to stay in a prison cell which is really awesome

We were very impressed with the value for money and how welcomed we felt even though we are far from being in our you

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.

Really nice hostel in heritage location. Comfortable and clean room and great facilities.

Very helpful and welcoming staff, excellent location and such an awesome place to stay

Super clean and good facilities, good location too.

Great location and great vibe at the hostel/prison. Great for a quick stopover for those wanting to visit Rottnest Island before heading north/south on a road trip.

Fabulous location, clean, great facilities, great history and vibe
