One World Backpackers

Truly amazing -- after travelling for six years this is by far the best hostel I have stayed in. They understand what a traveler actuallly wants, even electric blankets. Amazing.

This Backpackers is really clean. I stayed in an eight-bed dorm. It was one of my favorite places to stay about a fifteen-minute walk to downtown Perth. The staff was friendly and all the guests were fun. I was travelling by myself but met up with some cool people and we became good friends. It's a chilled place and worthwhile.

My stay of a few days here turned into practically three months!! The guy who runs the place is really nice and being a family owned establishment made it all the more weloming. I got to meet great people, go to all the local pubs and have an Aussie BBG with no aussies there! It is situated right by the local shops and only a 10 minute walk from central Perth. There is also free transport on the local bus to outside the front door. And Russell Square (a park) is right across the road for all th hot days. The place is kept very clean and there is so much natural light in all the rooms. I loved this place and will return again very soon!!!!

I stayed at heaps of different places in 3 trips to Perth; this was a new joint. It's clean but totally lacking in atmosphere, no hot chickies (or boys if you're a chicky) and nothing happening — no communal atmosphere if you like. It's just another house in a city full of old houses with bunk beds in them. But it is in Northridge, so if you want a quiet bed (it was nearly empty when we were there) and to be close to the action it's not so bad. It has friendly owners, if not a tad old fashioned. Love you, but sorry I had to leave you!

After seven months in Australia in 2003 I can only say one thing: This was the best hostel I've been to. It has an amazingly friendly staff. It's very easy to meet new people here. If you want to have a kind of family feeling during your travelling and have heaps of fun, too, this is the hostel to go to when you're in Perth!

This place is very clean, but it feels like a hospital!! It is a bit staid and almost nerdy — there are no get togethers, and no bar or pool, or anything like that, just a clean old house that's been restored. It also didn't have many people staying at it when we there. It was nice enough, but too quiet and not enough people for my liking.

One World was the first hostel in Australia that I stayed in. Whilst there, I met the best people, and my five night stay turned into a whole month. Everyone is so friendly, it's central to most places of interest, and it's very well kept. The recycling is such a good idea, especially considering the amount of alcohol we went through while we were there. It's a great hostel, and I will certainly recommend it to anyone I meet who's planning on going to Perth.

A great place to meet people. The owner is friendly. Plus there's good crack. ;)

This is the place to stay when you want to see how beautifully fellow travelers have drawn on their experience to create elegance for backpackers. Still on par with your typical nightly rates, this place is the one to take photos of and send to your family. It's not big; they'd never want that. It's manageable, not the place to get messy. There's a nice park across the way, and One World Backpackers is located a short distance from the train station on well-lit roads that are frequented and have noodle houses, eateries of all sorts, some places to drink and some places to dance. P.S. Been through Thailand and thought, "oh I'd like to try poi or firesticks?" This is the only place in Perth I know of where you can get them :-) Another P.S. How many hostels have you stayed at which recycle?
