The room and facilities were very clean. Staff was very friendly. The common areas are big as well as the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay here. It is about a 10- 15 minute walk to stores/restaurants but we didn’t mind at all.

Big house, warm homy feeling from the first impression 🏡. Walking distance from the CBD 🛍, supermarket🛒, train/bus stations 🚉 and parcs 🌳. Plenty of space to park 🚙. Not a party hostel ! They gladly welcome respectful quiet peoples. But still a very friendly place, caring manager, good vibe and a lot of fun !! ❤️

My stay was nice and peaceful the guest’s and staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere very jovial, but respectively quite after 10pm, the location of the Witchs Hat is perfect, right on the edge of the city in a quite leafy street close to parkland, transport, shops I don’t usually bother with reviews but the Witchs Hat gave me an experience I urge other travellers to experience. Lovely lovey people in a beautiful old well maintained building in a great location.. I’ll be back and anyone I hear heading to perth will get my advise to do the same.

Amazing place! I’ve been back several times now and I will keep coming back! Julia and the staff are very welcoming every time and most of the other guests are very friendly! And Julia does not tolerate any misbehaviour so the place stays safe. The hostel is clean and well kept. Highly recommended!
