Aberdeen Lodge

my advice -- dont stay there. steer well clear of aberdeen lodge unless you wanna score or be thiefed off or your women touched up.

Zero star for this hostel. I stayed there one night and it was the worst i had in a hostel. every half-hour a guy came in the room at night, turning the light on, looking for his "medicine." this happened about five times from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. I did not take a shower in the morning because the bathroom was a dirty hole! And i had bedbugs bites after this stay. Normally you should be paid to stay here and not pay 17 Dollars pn!

Our short time here perhaps accounted for the worst memories of our travels in australia. My partner was interfered with, and then management denied any knowledge as it was by a friend of the manager. Thankfully it wasn't too serious but could have been a lot worse. When we told police we decided not to lay charges but they said the place is always getting visits by police and is renowned for drug dealing. It is terrible, stay very well away from here.

Aberdeen Lodge is a perfect place to chill and relax! I didnt expect much by a price of 14$ pn, but i was surprised! I loved it! Sitting around the fireplace with a lot of cool people on a cold nite is an experience which you cant have in any other hostel! And they are not drugaddicted, aussie losers, they are relaxed and love to have fun! I came back for a second time and I still love it! I would have loved to stay there longer but i had to leave. I would recommend it to every backpacker with a small wallet and an open mind. Aberdeen Lodge Rocks!

This place is possibly the worst in perth, even at $14 per nite its almost unbearable, management (if you can call it that, he is about 19 and dresses in rapper gangsta clothes..) has no idea and do not give a hoot about your quality of stay. The comments about drug availability are accurate and certainly not an exaggeration. If you like hanging around australian losers and being stoned 24/7 then you will love this place, otherwise steer clear. We were mislead about prices and the type of room we had booked, you cant find a worse example of a hostel, the pro comments above can only be from staff, or from someone who was continously stoned here..

The Aberdeen Lodge is the best hostel in all of Australia!!! You feel like at you're at home. People are friendly; Pinky will be your friend as long as you give him jam on toast for breakfast. KL and Matt (and the kitty cat) are a great team, thanks very much for everything. VIVA LA LODGE!!!

This is a great location, being very central. However, the place itself is a dive. Even with a good manager (Vic) you can't escape the musty linen, cockroaches, and mice in the kitchen. If you are on a hell budget, don't mind droppings in your breakfast, can deal with the bad insulation and cold rooms, stay here. Othwerwise, there are plenty of other good places close by. We only stayed two nites and had to get out. Too many druggy aussies managed to get in while we were there.

It was disgusting. Don't waste your time unless you're a druggo.

Nice atmosphere. It's right across from a good bar. I wonder if that bald bird Pinky is still alive.
