The Ozi Inn 'Darkside' is certainly an experience. even at $88 this seems expensive when you don't have basic facilities. But the saving grace to this diamond in the rough are the staff. Rod and Luke, who own and manage the place, are absolute sweethearts. Luke's the receptionist; always prancing round reception -- he cant do enough for you, and Rod's the manly one, always out building his wall. their affection and obvious devotion to each other makes the Ozi Inn the warmest, loving, and gay-friendly backpackers i've ever stayed in.

This was the first hostel in Australia I went to. I was meant to be there for five days and stayed for six weeks! I had the time of my life. Such a great atmosphere, it is such fun. Lots of people live there and work- by the time they get to Perth they are out of money. It is one of my favorite backpacking memories. It looks a little shabby, but trust me it is great. I would recommend it to anyone, and I would definitely go back.

It looks a bit shabby, especially the non-air-conditioned "dark side"(small, cozy and more like a share-house). And the bathrooms aren't the best, but it doesn't matter!! The rooms are good, the location is excellent, the price is right and it is also the most fun you could ever have!! Cheap nights out to local clubs are arranged and it has a really friendly atmosphere. You won't want to leave!

I stayed in this hostel and had the time of my life. The boys from Burnly, Ferg and Co., Nicola, Claire, Vicky, Zoe and everyone there was like a best mate. I will return to the Ozi Inn any time. Stay there, it is cool.

I stayed here for only about five days, but it had a great atmosphere. It's a real family feeling you get here with everybody!

This place is too expensive. There are too many beer drinkers here, and not enough homosexuals. And they hassle you about not paying rent.

This place is dangerous--you might end up staying here too long!! It's that good. It's crazy, and I love it.

The BEST hostel in Australia. But only stay here if you're cool and up for getting along with everyone. There's an amazing family atmosphere, and loads of fun and frolics to be had by all!

It's ok here. It's a small place with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. The front desk seemed to be closed quite often when the staff would just be upstairs watching TV. Nice enough beds and facilities.
