Great value
We enjoyed our stay at Billabong. We don't usually stay at backpackers anymore and we had low expectations but then we were pleasantly surprised. Our private room was spacious with good shower, aircon/heating and a balcony. Lots of storage space. Pool is good, friendly service, cheap meals on site are backpacker friendly. Plenty of parking available on site at $8 per 24 hours. Easy access to parks, restaurants, CBD and a short uber ride to airport and other suburbs.

No Hot water and bathrooms were filthy.
I stayed in a mixed dorm, 6 bed with ensuite bathroom. It was filthy. Had no hot water at night or in the morning. I checked out early and lost my pre-payment. I wouldn't stay there even if it was free.

Great budget accommodation near the city!
The hostel was good, we were in a private room which was clean and very spacious. All rooms have ensuites and a balcony which is great. We had air con as well as a heater in the room. The $5 dinners each night are really good value for money, different meals each night. The pool area is always busy but maybe not the most social if you are new to the hostel, as many backpackers stay long term while working in Perth. It's also in a great area, 20min walk to the city centre and only 5-10min walk to northbridge which has loads of bars and restaurants. Also neat Hyde park which is great for a run.

Great stay in super-central CBD location
New and professionally designed Hotel in the very heart of CBD of Perth. Perfect base to explore. I was very happy to have a clean room, very new and well-designed facilities, a real & good mattress and wide beds (even in the 6 people dorm). Great overall experience

A decent place for the price you pay for
I was quite shocked that the first room given to me had rubbish overflowing from the bin, with pieces of food and crumbs littered all over the floor. While I understand the cleanliness of the room largely depends on guests who I will be sharing the room with, but guests who are checking in would appreciate if the room is properly cleaned and the bed sheets folded, not in a crumpled mess. After letting the staff at the reception know about the dirty room, he informed me that the room will only be cleaned tomorrow morning, but agreed to let me change to another room when I requested. (Although the bed in the new room is still messy, but at least the room is clean. So thanks!) Guests who are planning to use the lockers provided in the room, make sure to bring your own lock. The lock should not be larger than 28mm, otherwise it will not fit. I was told that I can also buy a lock at the reception counter if I wish. The WiFi service was pretty slow and can sometimes get disconnected. After speaking with my roommate (who have stayed at Billabong for the past 3 weeks), he, too experienced the same problem. So make sure you have a reliable data plan before checking in! The free breakfast provided from 6AM to 10AM is nice. There's coffee, tea, milk, cornflakes, chocolate rice cereal, and muesli to choose from, along with toasts and a variety of jams and spreads. Appreciate the variety! Overall, it's a good experience staying at Billabong. Nice location, friendly staff.

Standard hostel accommodation
Standard hostel - basic twin room with no frills, only complaint is that the room was really cold at night and there was just an oil heater that didn't do much and very thin duvet. Location OK - a little too far to walk into the city, but there is a bus stop outside or a free CAT 5 minutes away. Wifi only in the communal areas and very slow. Communal kitchen kept clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful.
