YHA Fremantle Prison

Good hostel, I'm glad I found it and chose to stay here not too far from the station close to Fremantle Market. Will definitely be back next time 🙂

It was a unique experience to stay in the oldest prison in western australia. We had a double decker in one of the cell blocks and showered in a ild shower that inmates used to use back in the day. Its walking distance to the markets and cafes. Great place to stay

It was an amazing experience by staying here! Everything is clean and tidy, the public area is spacious

very near fremantle market. about 15-20min walk from fremantle ferry terminals which was great. the room was relatively clean. the rooms has no aircon but there's a small fan, u went it November so it was not hot. fun experience.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Hostel was clean and quiet. There were activities and we had a Christmas BBQ.

Honestly, the price and service are completely mismatched. I can't believe I paid around $60 per night for the following experience: The shower only provides cold water, and there's a sign telling you to limit your usage time. The power outlet isn't located near the mirror, so using a hairdryer while looking in the mirror is impossible. The bed sheets are full of pilling, making them uncomfortable to sleep on. Outdoor tables are left uncleaned for days, with bird droppings in the same spot showing no sign of maintenance. The living room TV isn't connected to Wi-Fi, and guests can't access it to watch movies. The staff Wi-Fi is required, but even when asked, the staff claim they don't know how to connect it. The staff are not only unfriendly but outright dismissive, often saying, "That's not my job," when asked questions. I was deeply disappointed that this is the level of service offered by YHA. The only positive aspect of my stay was the friendliness of the other guests, but this has nothing to do with the service provided by the staff.
