to get started.

Great atmosphere, close to restaurants and shops. Staff were SO friendly and helpful.

Sally, United States of America

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

Naturalganja, Australia

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

Gary, Australia

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.

“Only for teenagers with no interest in the historic prison ...total fast !!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Small Twin Room with Shared Bathroom - Prison Cell
- • Stayed 1 night
The young teenagers acting like school kids ...it was like staying at a school playground ..no one had any respect for anyone but themselves .Only one toilet near the cell we stayed in ..had to work hard in the night .finding another ! Someone moved our refrigerated goods from the fridge and just left them on the side to make room for there stuff ,which made our food go off ...selfish kids having bad mood over tv control ! The whole experience was damped by the misbehaving teenagers ,,when we were looking for the night in the prison cell ...but all night screaming kids ..with no respect ...would not recommend ...could wait to check out the next day ..total fast and a waste of money ...just a gimmick ..to suck people in for a prison experience ...they should close the hostel and just do historic tours ...and have respect for the prisoners that suffered there ......................................
the old prison itself ....the kitchen area good ...close to fremantle market !!
