The Witchs Hat Backpacker Hostel in Perth, Australia

would love to see some recycling, SKYPE and updated computers, and a bit closer to food and groceries... but it is truly an all-around good place.

Izzy, Unfortunately we have tried the recycling thing before, but the regulations are very tight for this style of rubbish. Everything must be rinsed and labels taken off. The council decided that our rubbish was not CLEAN ENOUGH! So they took away the bins. Whilst most people would like to utilise this facility, some don't which stuffs it up for all of us (the whole washing our rubbish thing). SKYPE? With our computers being in the TV room SKYPE would only add noise whilst people are trying to watch TV and this would definitely cause problems! Being that we are essentially a big house, we don't have any other areas to put our computers. Thanks for your thoughts. Travel safe - Hopper

A nice friendly and social hostel in a quiet suburb of Perth, although not ideal for single female travellers returning later at night due to the walk from the city. A great place for relaxing whilst still having a bit of a chilled party atmosphere. Weekly BBQ was a good deal and good way to meet others. The owner/manager Hopper was welcoming and helpful re: travel advice in WA. Other reception staff however, weren't always very friendly or welcoming. Overall though I'd recommend to others.

Andrea, Yes, the location being residential does have its Pro's and Con's. Mostly for the positive though. Sorry my support staff may have not been as helpful. Will have a quick chat with them. Have fun on the rest of your travels - Hopper
