Hay Street Traveller's Inn in Perth

This place was great, I ended up extending for an extra week. I enjoyed my stay here and it's in a convenient location.

Other reviews complain about people screaming late at night outside - I was in a room on the front and I had little to no issues during my stay, and there's not much that can be done outside of the property... All the staff members were pleasant and the shared areas were always clean. Id be happy to go back and stay there again some day.

A private room within walking distance of the centre of Perth for less than $70, can't really complain, Perth prices are cooked and some hostels charge 80 a night for a bunk bed in a dorm! Room was clean and bed comfy enough. New mattress, decent quality. Absolute bare bones amenities. It's fine if you need a place to crash a few nights, safely store your stuff and explore the city. Feels more like a working men's hostel than a place for travellers, not much of a social vibe, I'm 35 and felt like the youngest person there, but that's fine if you literally just need a place to crash and nothing more.

Paid WiFi, but it's cheap ($1/24h)

Sadly the upstairs mens WC was out of order which meant having to trek to the other side of the building to have a pee. If you're a light sleeper like me, bring earplugs as the street outside can get noisy with no soundproofing.

Couple of small things that would improve the stay - having some hooks to hang clothes and especially towels out to dry. And an extension cord as the only power point in the room is under the bed, so you have to pull it out or crawl underneath to plug your electronics in.

Good value for the area but could be improved with some simple fixes

I stayed here last year (2024) in July, and I had a great time. I had great interaction with some of the other guests, a very eclectic bunch. I don't understand the negative comments at all. This is a hostel, not a 5-star hotel. The room i had ,although dated, was clean and functional. I didn't notice any bugs or rodents, and I made full use of the communal kitchen and fridges. As I needed some sheets, I had no trouble reaching the manager by phone, and he got them to me quickly. As far as im concerned, excellent service. If / when I visit Perth again, I hope i can get a room there again.

PROS: close to everything, quiet (as in no party but some construction is going on), clean, easy self checkin, pay parking next door.
CONS: no social interactions, poor and basic facilities, mainly working guys, no aircon.

Everything is great for the location, cleanliness, noise control, and good for self checkin. I don't mind for phone call receptionist.
No free coffee / tea / sugar in the share kitchen while I was staying there.
After all its hostel, but sadly its pricey these days.
