YHA Fremantle Prison

I have been there before pandemic started and it’s such a nice place. Really easy connect with others, the kitchen is pretty big and the common areas super nice for share with other but also to find solitude if you like it. The people working there are very welcome and friendly, it’s clean and it feels just a place to stay for while .Thanks for everything during my time there guys :)Maria

Amazing location, right by everything- the markets, prison, restaurants and shops. Great rooms, we have the room with the double bed and bunk bed. Only thing is, we would like some soap, but that's all, thanks!

➖Probably the most beautiful and potential of Fremantle. “Could be the best”!! Will be possible only in the STAFF will be a bit more pleasant with the guest. You’ll feel depressed from the first hello….No party, activities which does not encourage people to meet and create any contact.➕Pretty cleanGood kitchenFor the new traveler/guest : don’t worry this hostel’s not representative than the others Australian one

Overall the stay was good, I just really hated the layout. The rooms were on one side with the bathrooms and kitchens on the other. I was in an 10 bed mixed so every time I wanted to change or use the bathroom I had to walk quite far. The cleaners would also clean the bathrooms at 9am, meaning no bathrooms were available for women then.

A very cool hostel built in a prison! I'll say when I was walking up to the entrance you can feel this prison enegery from the past! They modernised the place, but the walls, corridors and backyard stayed the same as in history. Super cool hostel!

Pretty unique experience, not often can you get a tour of a prison. The tour guide was very creative and energetic and tried her best to make the tour as interesting as possible.

Definitely a world heritage site but facts are very brutal, humiliating and tough from past.

Awesome Hostel and I’ve been to a fair few throughout Europe. Only gets 4 stars because of my experience.I’m in my mid 30’s now so a bit pickier for noise but it really echos in the double prison cell we stayed in. And with the World Cup on there were lots of guests talking loudly at 4:30am.Also the email stated linen and towels provided. We only noticed towels were not provided in the morning when we needed them to shower and at the time reception was not staffed (before 9am).I walked around, asked the cleaner lady about the towels and she said I needed to see reception at 9am (it was 7:45am), but we really needed to scoot!I was adamant we were meant to get a towel, and I was already in a prison. So how bad could it get.I scoped out the cleaner ladies movements from my prison cell, very structured methodical movement, tick, also she had left the clean linen room door ajar.She took roughly 2-3 mins in the women’s toilet so when she went for the men’s I knew it was my chance to be a true criminal, the first time I’d ever stolen in my life!I snuck a peek and to my right hand side a pile of clean white towels, jackpot! I grabbed one, felt naughty, showered and confessed when I saw her 30 mins later. She didn’t care, but I felt I’d had a true criminal experience

Fun place to stay! Fremantle is a great place to base yourself in Perth. Kitchens are large and modern, bathrooms are as good as a gym.Ask about Rottnest tours, short walk to the ferry and YHA has a discount deal.Rooms can be a little stuffy, but I was happy with how quiet they were! Saturday night has lots of live music nearby, so be aware of this.

Room wise is good and clean. WiFi works perfectly. Stable and strong enough. But service wise is sucks. Staffs are horrible. Looks like they don’t know or just ignore to do service excellence to guests. Receptionist rude and unfriendly. When I told him bout the TV problem in my room he went to check it then he said it’s unplugged that’s why it doesn’t work and he said it with annoying face,expressing that I’m so stupid for not knowing it. But then when I tried to turn it on,the TV still didn’t work. Then about the house keeping staff,I did the online check like I was instructed on email,already chose the time but at 10 am sharp when I was packing my stuff to get ready to check out the cleaning service knock my door and asked me to check out hurriedly with a rude voice. Dude,I pay to stay there not staying for free. Also the salary you get are from the guests who stay there. Don’t be impolite and disrespectful. You won’t get your salary if no guests are staying there anymore cause of your arrogant behavior! Such a shame. It could be a perfect accommodation to stay if only the staffs know how to behave.
