There wasn't much to like about the property. Only the price I paid was the best thing. Instead of $75 a night it was nearly half that.

Well Done Brltannia on William
Our stay as a couple in our seventies was very good we had a private room and although it was not en-suite it was comfortable and clean and absolutely ‘spot on’ for the cost, and if you were a couple in your twenties it is an amazing location for vibrant young night life. But if you like very quiet nights then stay elsewhere to enjoy Perth. Well done B on W. Mike & Pat

Food street/ pubs right next door. Bathrooms a bit average but staff were awesome and helpful. Some rooms have long term guests that can be a bit messy but not bad if passing through.

This hostel is really big and there were a lot of people staying there during our trip. We found the hostel to be exceptionally noisy - groups of people laughing and chatting in the communal hallways at all hours of the night, washing machines being put on at 1am - there seemed to be no consideration for other guests most of the time. The facilities were great, showers and toilets cleaned daily to a high standard and water always hot. Didn’t use the kitchen because it was always too busy, but a very large (although very narrow) kitchen with lots of amenities if you wished to make your own meals. The location is the saving Grace of the property - in the middle of Northbridge, you can easily access Perth city centre from a 10 minute walk, plus the bus port and trans Perth stations within 5 minutes. An abundance of bars and eateries both up and down William Street make it great for going out and having drinks or something to eat or finding something to do. We loved the area, but the hostel itself was too big and too loud with inconsiderate guests for us.

Strategic location and very near to Perth Station, Underground Station and Busport. Walkable to Myer, Murray and Hay Street eateries, shops, malls. The only issue in this hostel is squeaky wooden floor. Hope this can be fixed as soon as possible. Otherwise its really 5 stars hostel.

Great access to city and transport, depending upon the rooms available free music from local bars. Nothing a pair of earplugs won’t fix. Great price and lots of great people to meet. Commercial kitchen for cooking your own meals, washing and laundry facilities, lift to 1st, and 2nd floors for your luggage. I don’t think you will find a better place for the price.

Britannia on William is pretty good for a backpackers. Just make sure that you bring earplugs (if you actually want any sleep), because it's very noisy.

The receptionist there is perfect. Polite, willing to help, care about people who live there, always welcome you with a warm smile. About the room: Our room is clean, quiet and comfortable, fan is powerful. The wooden floor in public area may be a little noisey when you step on them. Bathroom and toilet are clean. The kitchen has big refrigerators and enough stoves to cook. About the location: so close to CBD and easily to find a blue cat bus stop (free bus of Perth city) nearby. I would love to stay there when I go to Perth next time.

This hostel needs to improve
there were no safety rails or ladders to bunks. there was no Window in the room. Every night there was huge noise sometimes to 3 am. There was a lot of rude, brattish behaviour. It used to be a good hostel, but now caters for very young and socially inexperienced teenagers who want to party non stop. Sorry Ron, but things seem to be going down hill.

WIFI super fast! Nice location near CBD
My stay was decently good. Though there is like some comments saying loud chatter next door as there is a big pub. It all depends on what type of rooms you choose. Mine was a four persons room so it wasn’t too noisy. Staff are friendly and responsible. Location is pretty close to all the vendors and restaurants. WIFi super fast! No hostel like them provide free and fast WIFI before. Would like yo stay again if I travel to Perth next time.
