Underground Backpackers

Trashbag City
I was here for three nights, two of the nights I was woken up by the girl below me having sex with men she brought back from the bar. When I complained to the hostel, they were nonplussed, and said it was normal. I have stayed around the world, at more than thirty hostels, and I have never even heard of this happening, let alone being tolerated. I suppose if you're the one having sex, the place will be great, but if you don't want to stay in a brothel, find one of the many better hostels in Northbridge.

Amazing People, nasty Staff
I lived in this place for almost three months, in a ten-bed dorm no less. The place is great, well kept, well equipped, and loads of wicked people stay there. My only issue is with the attitude of some of the staff, on occasion they would go power mad, chuck people out, tell you off like a child and generally treat you like sh*t that ain't worth anything to them! I was lucky and managed to avoid their bad sides, but if they don't like you, you're f***ed, if they do then you can get away with Murder!

ok i stayed in the underground for three whole months, which was brilliant -- had a really good time. then one sunday morning i was rudely awakened by a certain lady behind reception and told to leave. i had no money and nowhere to go had to stay in the biggest sh*thole in perth for two nights. I found the staff at the underground to be so patronising and think they have power over everyone and think they can speak down to you. if you don't like your job don't do it, Warren, and don't do night shifts and take it out on us. And as for Miss Kylie the manager, who does that woman think she is? how dare she speak to people the way she does, she gives australia a bad name. so all in all i loved the underground hostel, really met the best friends there but some of the staff i think should be upgraded. it would do the underground the world of good. the nicest old man bob (daddy) works there or maybe they got rid of him but they should bring in more like him.

Good facilities, professional staff very helpful as well. Economical. Security is pretty good. Each guy is given his own room key and a locker (large) for keeping in stuff. Hostel does have its share of budget hotel cons as well -- little things like some dodgy blokes (who had a pint or two more) singing their heart out in the middle of the night. but the facilities and the staff attitude more than made up for that. Location quite near to Perth station. convenient transportation to Freemantle. Highly recommended.

Never ever again! We got bedbugs here and the reaction from the staff: they paid us the washing what was really nice, but for our bagpacks they gave us Ajax to make them dizzy. After looking under the sheed in the next room we found an other small bug. Just for bug fans!

This is definitely a very well equipped hostel complete with pool and excellent facilities. It has all the mod cons of a budget hotel really, and the dorms at the back of the building are really new and modern. Really recommend it, plus the staff were professional. One thing - not sure if it was just the time I was staying (over NYE 2005) but there were some VERY dodgy blokes staying here and they also allow guests in too. Could be safer. Location not hugely scenic but close to most stuff.

Top class. Excellent kitchen and communal areas. Great bar with lots happening, plus great pool (water) and pool (Balls). Fantastic cinema/TV room with nightly films on request. Also, well within walking distance of city centre.

This was the first place I went in Oz (Australia). I just asked the bus driver from the airport to drop us somewhere nice. And was it ever! It's clean, friendly, air-conditioned, and has a pool and a great atmosphere. Thanks!

Wow what a place! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The staff were great. Thanks johnny the pommie :)

This is the best hostel I've been to.
