The Hive Hostel - Perth City - Northbridge

Too many people discuss the Hive negatively without having stayed there.

I've been there several times over 2 years and it's always a pleasure, meeting people is easy and people don't help each other like in other hostels.

The location is perfect and the price is reasonable.

There are often small evenings and it's fabulous, it allows contact for newcomers

There is parking for several cars

The kitchens, fridges, storage are very large and enough to go around the world

The Hive is getting a little makeover and in terms of renovation it's no laughing matter.

All the mattresses have been replaced with new ones and the rooms are now very secure.

Come and try the Hive if you don't criticize without ever having been there.

It's like home but 15,000km away
Thank you management for all your changes.

I endured two dreadful weeks at this hostel. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this time it's necessary. If you plan on staying for just a few days, maybe. But for two weeks, you'll lose your mind. The hostel is dirty, my room door wouldn't close, showers were broken, toilet bowls too. The only positive was the friendly person at the reception. I came with two friends, requested to be in the same room during the reservation (made three months in advance!), yet we were separated.

I stayed at the hostel for 4 weeks, the staff were all great and helped us out whenever we needed it. At one point I cut my foot and the manager even helped bandage it up.
Great 24 hour kitchen with a range of utensils, 4 ovens, a microwave, kettle, and 2 toasters.
There is a free section which is constantly refreshed by the staff with bread, vegetables and condiments.
In the past, the hostel was in a bad shape. However now (thanks to strict management and constant daily cleaning) the hostel is in a much better way.
Everywhere is cleaned at least daily with rules in place to prevent people making a mess and not cleaning it.
Great place to stay, its cheap so don't go in expecting a luxury hotel
Will definitely be back.

The staff and and other guests were all exceptionally lovely. Great friendly and welcoming environment.
The kitchen had plenty have pots pans and other cooking utensils so I was never waiting to use anything. There was also a communal area in the kitchen which had a constant supply of fresh bread along with an assortment of other free food and spices.
Everywhere was thoroughly cleaned at least once a day so cleanliness was not issue.
My only minor complaint was the number of bathrooms. There are only 4 bathrooms available one of which has 2 showers. This meant you often had to wait to use the toilet or shower in the morning.
Overall, I really enjoyed my time here, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in perth city centre.
It is run exceptionally well and I get the sense that some serious passion and care goes into the service here.

I stayed at the hive for a couple of days and it was awesome! Everyone was really kind and lovely, great place to meet people from all walks of life, staff were helpful and very accommodating and are doing an amazing job to keep everything in safe and running, great location just a great place

Worst hostel I stayed in. Pictures are not from this rooms. The place is falling apart, windows won’t open, bed linen is all dirty and won’t even fit in the mattress, air con doesn’t work. Can’t imagine what is like to sleep there on summer. The manager didn’t take any responsibility for the hostels awful conditions. She kept saying the pictures is not what the hostels promises, which makes no sense because it means they could show pictures from any other hotel. Bathroom’s are not enough for the amount of people hosting. I could only find two toilets with shower which were always busy, so I wasn’t able to shower. Don’t recommend this place at all.

Very good place to stay in Perth, the location is great and the staff really make an effort to keep the hostel very clean and make everyone follow the rules to keep spaces tidy, clean and hep you have a comfortable stay! Would come again!
As a suggestion I might appreciate social events further than parties (saturdays). But people staying are friendly and happy to spend some time chatting
My lowest stars goes for the room cause my bed is missing a lather and there are some lockers missing, but in all it’s a positive experience!

The Hive was my home for couple of months during my journey in WA and I couldn’t asked for better. Everyone is so friendly and the vibe is what you’re looking for when you are a solo traveller far from home. Common areas are open 24/7 and there is also a backyard to chill and meet new people. Location is very good, you can walk easily to CBD and supermarkets.

Worst hostel I ever stayed! Seemed like a hostel for homeless people because everywhere people were sleeping on the couch etc and it was really dirty, the bathrooms haven't been cleaned for a while. The mattress in the room was so thin and you could smell weed early in the morning. Definitely not recommended!

Really dirty bathrooms. The showers are disgusting, bad water pressure and not really hot.
Mattress was really uncomfortable because you feel the springs inside the mattress and the bed sheets were smelly.

Definitely wouldn’t stay there again. Overpriced!

Please dont stay here, reception staff who is also hostel manager too rude, OMG, I dont know how ahe become hostel manager? Terrible experience

The room we had was clean and well-kept, but it was definitely not the kind of place where you could get lost in the sheets or relax completely with all your clothes on. The best thing about it was that it was only a short walk from downtown, and there were some really nice restaurants nearby.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again! Definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a comfortable stay

I very happily stay one week The Hive Hostels Staff is very friendly.i just 10 minutes walk to Perth Train Station. Near Chinatown.have Asian food Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnamese.in Newcastle Rd.

I stayed at The Hive Hostel for a week and had a positive stay. It's in a good location, the rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly. I would recommend this hostel if you're looking for something affordable.

The staff at The Have Hostel were great! They were very friendly and accommodating and made me feel right at home while I was staying there. The location is also fantastic—the hostel is in a great area, close to all the major attractions.

The Have Hostel is a great place to stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is great and the prices are reasonable.

The Have Hostel is a great hostel I stayed at for three months, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It's located in a nice part of town with easy access to the city center, but still feels very safe. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, and they have a nice breakfast included with your stay!

I had a very comfortable stay. The premises was clean and tidy, safe, secure and very well organised. Tash is doing a fantastic job managing the hostel.

The Hive Hostel is definitely the place that you need when you first arrive in Australia. A MAGIC case of humanity made of AMAZING people that, in less then 24 hours, become your family. Chill space-time when you deserve silence and be by your own, good parties and laughs when "la fiesta" is needed. The staff is wonderful, generous, attentive and super kind. I totally recommend this place!
LUNGA VITA ALL'HIVE HOSTEL!
