The Hive Hostel 63 Stirling Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000

"I stayed at the hostel for 4 weeks, the staff were all great and helped us out whenever we needed it. At one point I cut my foot and the manager even helped bandage it up. Great 24 hour kitchen with a range of utensils, 4 ovens, a microwave, kettle, and 2 toasters. There is a free section which is constantly refreshed by the staff with bread, vegetables and condiments. In the past, the hostel was in a bad shape. However now (thanks to strict management and constant daily cleaning) the hostel is in a much better way. Everywhere is cleaned at least daily with rules in place to prevent people making a mess and not cleaning it. Great place to stay, its cheap so don't go in expecting a luxury hotel Will definitely be back."

"The staff and and other guests were all exceptionally lovely. Great friendly and welcoming environment. The kitchen had plenty have pots pans and other cooking utensils so I was never waiting to use anything. There was also a communal area in the kitchen which had a constant supply of fresh bread along with an assortment of other free food and spices. Everywhere was thoroughly cleaned at least once a day so cleanliness was not issue. My only minor complaint was the number of bathrooms. There are only 4 bathrooms available one of which has 2 showers. This meant you often had to wait to use the toilet or shower in the morning. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in perth city centre. It is run exceptionally well and I get the sense that some serious passion and care goes into the service here."

"I stayed at the hive for a couple of days and it was awesome! Everyone was really kind and lovely, great place to meet people from all walks of life, staff were helpful and very accommodating and are doing an amazing job to keep everything in safe and running, great location just a great place ❤️❤️"

"Worst hostel I stayed in. Pictures are not from this rooms. The place is falling apart, windows won’t open, bed linen is all dirty and won’t even fit in the mattress, air con doesn’t work. Can’t imagine what is like to sleep there on summer. The manager didn’t take any responsibility for the hostels awful conditions. She kept saying the pictures is not what the hostels promises, which makes no sense because it means they could show pictures from any other hotel. Bathroom’s are not enough for the amount of people hosting. I could only find two toilets with shower which were always busy, so I wasn’t able to shower. Don’t recommend this place at all."

"Very good place to stay in Perth, the location is great and the staff really make an effort to keep the hostel very clean and make everyone follow the rules to keep spaces tidy, clean and hep you have a comfortable stay! Would come again!! As a suggestion I might appreciate social events further than parties (saturdays). But people staying are friendly and happy to spend some time chatting ☺️ My lowest stars goes for the room cause my bed is missing a lather and there are some lockers missing, but in all it’s a positive experience!"
