A unique and unusual place to stay. This heritage site has been transformed into a great little hostel. It was our first time staying in a hostel, so the bar is now set very high now. It exceeded our expectations. It has a geat setup. The facilities are clean facilities. Nice well equipped community kitchen with a nice tv lounge and dining area. Showers, toilets, and laundry facilities just off this area are clean and look very new. There is lots of outdoor space. A lovely, unexpected touch was the free pancakes on Sunday cooked by a very nice lady. The cell rooms were clean and comfortable. There was more than enough room with a little table and stool to pop your things on. The bunk bed was comfortable, and there was an added bonus of a little heater. Bedding and towel were included, don'tforgetyou toiletries!. Our cell block B had a toilet and shower on the same floor, plus an additional one at the bottom of the stairs. There are a few information boards around with some facts regarding the prison and prisoners, which is a nice touch. This is in a perfect location right next door to the prison museum entrance, which is behind the iconic Freo markets. This is about a 10 -15 minute walk from the train station. Be aware that you have to pay for parking which isn't cheap. We opted to take the train, which was convenient. There is also a big IGA across the road from the markets to get all your essentials. All the staff we encountered were friendly. I would definitely recommend staying here, if only like us it was for 1 night to have the experience of staying in a heritage prison .

I liked the experience of staying in an old prison cell. Be aware that although two original cells were merged into one room it still felt small. But I liked it a lot. The room was very quiet, probably because of the thick walls. One night though was very hot and the fan could not cool enough. But other than that it was really comfortable. It was clean, had a kitchen (which I never used), a nice yard to relax and a common room with aircon to cool down on a hot day. Reception staff was very welcoming and helpful. Your are in a part of the Fremantle Prison so if you want to visit the prison, it is just a few steps to the entrance. Other than that, it is about 5 minutes to the center and 15 min to the station. I would rate the location as very good.

The concept/atmosphere is great whilst also being a tidy and easy to navigate place to stay. The "Quad plus 2" room would be good for a young family, as a couple it was sufficient and very clean, with use of sustainable products and practices. Great common areas, pancakes on sundays! and both staff members I dealt with were lovely. Best part about YHA Freo Prison is location. Heart of Fremantle practically on the doorstep so perfect for an activity filled weekend.

The staff were great, so friendly and helpful with recommendations of the area, places to eat etc. Tons of break out areas, cool interiors/exteriors and located next to the prison you can visit for the day. Free sunscreen, and drinks to buy, as well as the free breakfast pancakes were all nice extra touches and not expected. Great location, close to the Fremantle markets, coffee shops, restaurants, Little Creatures brewery.

It's very nice place to stay, very spacious common areas, where you can sit outside or in one of the common rooms. Friendly staff, some part of the complex looks like it used to be before, some buildings are new. We had a private room, and was very quiet (it's in the end of the block) and comfortable. Huge kitchen and storage. Perfect location, plus Fremantle is a beautiful town!
