Pirates Backpackers

Best hostel in Fremantle! This is the place to go as a solo traveller. Has the best social atmosphere and I made some great friends and memories there. Vaughan and the crew set up daily activities which range from surfing and paddle boarding to BBQs and free entry to dance clubs. I'll be back guys!

Friendly team, nice hostel, great atmosphere, close to everything. Highly recommanded, thx to the team for the great time here

I made a reservation at the hostel for 7 nights, wanted to check out after the first night but unfortunately couldn't get a refund so I ended up staying for 6 nights in the end.

In general, the management and staff are very friendly and helpful. There are daily activities offered, so they are really trying to show the people around and keep them entertained which is good.

The sad part is, however, that only a small minority of the guests staying there will actually take part in those activities as the majority of guests unfortunately consists of alcohilics and drug consumers (and believe, I would not make such statements about other people if I hadn't witnessed what they're doing with my own eyes). I rrally do not mind a little bit of a party but what happens here is just way over the top! The worst and saddest part about it is that this behaviour seems to be tolerated by the management.

So apparently from all the partying those people unfortunately tend to forget their good manners and I would find myself in an absolutely messy kitchen and common areas in the mornings. Those people dont even bother cleaning up after themselves and apparently it is tolerated by the management. One morning I went to the toilet and there was vomit all over it - simply disgusting.

One night (Wednesday) there was loud music until 2.30 am (not to mention there were strangers in the hostel partying there) - there is supposed to be a night manager but he didnt care either.

Apart from that, the hostel definitely requires some renovation (bathrooms; my bed frame was filthy too).

To put it in a nutshell: If you don't feel bothered by people who have alcohol and weed or other stuff for breakfast already, go for it. Otherwise you are better off going somewhere else.

I first only stayed for 2 nights and then ended up extending for another week. If you look for a social hostel with cool people and chilled vibes, this is the place. Close to the Fremantle Market and the beaches. Thanks to Tasha, the receptionist, she is super attentive! Book direct with them and if you stay a week it's cheaper ;).

Very good hostel! The staff is friendly and professional. And the city is beautiful. Enjoy your stay!

Friendly staff. Lot of interesting activities. Correct room and bathrooms. A little bit noisy while the evening. But I definitely recommend this hostel!

A really nice hostel to stay and enjoy the wonderful city of Fremantle. Every day there are activities organised by the owners of the hostel, so you never have to be bored when you don't know what to do. The rooms are nice, and there is a lounge where you can relax and get to know the other habitants of the hostel. I would definitely recommend to stay in this hostel!

Great friendly hostel.stepped in and felt welcome.nice chill people, friendly staff, good location.party at common area and some spots for peace/chill / reading.wifi not really good though.

We got a double room - initially we intended to stay a week. We checked out after 3 nights because there were already paid for. We would leave earlier if we could. The main problem was the noise. There is supposedly a night manager and the music must stop at 1 am. On Friday it was on until 4 am! We tried to let the lady at the counter know - she could not care less. Then Saturday back at it! Even when you try to get a nap to catch from the crappy noisy night you can't because the music is still on! Would not recommend if you want to have normal sleeping hours!
