YHA Fremantle Prison

Stated in the double room with private bathroom. As a family this was perfect. The room was comfortable, had it's own mini fridge and the bathroom was clean and well maintained. Whilst the private rooms are not in the main building (and old prison) you can walk around the rest and you can it was a prison. Also enjoyed reading the information up around the hostel, making it like a mini museum. The common areas were great and the staff helpful and cheerful. Location is also really good, next to the markets and the Fremantle Oval, which is nice for a WAFL game if it's the right time of year. Restaurants, bars and coffee shops etc all also very close by. Highly recommend.

We stayed 4 nights at YHA as a family with two kids (9&6yo) in a family room. The room is basic, clean and covers everything you need. We loved staying at the hostel because it gave us so much freedom. The vibe in the hostel is very relaxed. The kids loved to wander around and discover everything the hostel had to offer: board games, crafts, an outside area where they could play chess or just practice cartwheels, the book corner, information signs about the prison’s history etc. The kitchen is huge and there’s lots of fridges and shelves to put your things away. Staff is friendly and super helpful with any inquiries. Location is convenient, very close to Fremantle centre and all other must see/do’s around. I would highly recommend to stay here!

It has more than one common/share place to chill so you can choose if you want to be in a more chill space or somewhere to socializa with others. Great kitchen and really clean. Ping pong table, a place to fill your bottle with fresh cool water. More than one bathroom and showers. A little more expensive than other hostels but its worth it, very confortable. Great place overall

Comfy beds, and nice that each had its own bedside lamp and locker. Clean and spacious kitchen, lots of fridges and amenities in the kitchen. Obviously perfect location for doing the Fremantle prison tours which were really good too!!

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.
