Hostel Perth: Where Value and Social Vibes Meet
The classic 'hostel perth' search is all about finding the best mix of price, location, and atmosphere. In the city centre, you'll find everything from the high-rated Spinners Hostel in Northbridge, with its spotless dorms and guest-favorite rating of 8.9, to budget options like The Hive at 14 AUD a night. The real value sits in the mid-range: places like Hostel G Perth (7.8 rating, 49 AUD) and Perth City YHA (7.9 rating, 41 AUD) balance comfort with a social scene without the premium price tag.
Scarborough Hostels: Beachside Stays
For those drawn to the coast, Scarborough is the place to be. While there aren't many hostel options right on the beach, Ocean Beach Backpackers Hostel sits close, offering sea-view dorms and a laid-back bar area—a rare coastal pick in Perth's hostel landscape. Expect to pay a bit more for the location, with rates around 85 AUD, but you get the surf, sand, and sunset views that the city centre can't match. Getting to Scarborough from the CBD is a short train ride, making it an easy day trip or a base for a beach-focused stay.
Hostels in Perth CBD: Central Stays for City Explorers
Staying in the Perth CBD puts you right in the heart of the action, with easy access to the city's attractions, nightlife, and public transport. Hostels like Kangaroo Inn (59 AUD) and Britannia On William (30 AUD) offer that central convenience, while The Emperors Crown Hostel (35 AUD) provides a well-priced base with private parking. For a more social experience, Billabong Backpackers Resort (35 AUD) includes free breakfast and a pool, and the CBD's free CAT bus makes getting around a breeze.
Hostels in Perth City: Central Convenience
If you're looking for a hostel that puts you right in the centre of Perth's action, you're in luck—many of the city's hostels are within walking distance of the main sights and transport links. Wallaby Backpackers Hostel (42 AUD) is steps from the train station and museum, while Perth City YHA (41 AUD) offers a pool and 24-hour reception, a short walk from Yagan Square. For a quieter stay, Hay Street Traveller's Inn (68 AUD) sits on the edge of the CBD, with easy access to the free CAT bus network.
Northbridge Hostels: Social Scene & Nightlife
Northbridge is Perth's cultural and nightlife heart, packed with bars, restaurants, and galleries. The hostels here reflect that energy. Spinners Hostel is the standout, with a guest-favorite rating of 8.9, spotless dorms, and a short stroll to Hyde Park. Coolibah Lodge Northbridge offers a sociable atmosphere and free breakfast, while Emu Backpackers Perth puts you a short walk from the nightlife with a well-equipped kitchen and outdoor area for meeting travellers.
Backpackers in Perth Scarborough: Coastal Budget Stays
For backpackers who want to swap the city bustle for beach life, Scarborough is the go-to. Ocean Beach Backpackers Hostel is the primary pick, with sea-view dorms and a relaxed vibe—unusual for a Perth hostel. Rates here are higher, around 85 AUD, reflecting the coastal location. The trade-off is a more laid-back setting, with the beach just steps away, and easy train access back to the city for sightseeing.

Frequently asked
What is the average price of a hostel in Perth?
Prices for hostels in Perth range from about 14 AUD for the cheapest dorm bed at The Hive to around 85 AUD for a stay at Ocean Beach Backpackers near the coast. Most hostels in the city centre fall between 20 and 60 AUD per night.
Which district is best to stay in Perth for a first visit?
For first-time visitors, the Perth CBD is the most convenient, putting you close to attractions, transport, and the free CAT bus. Northbridge is a great choice if you want to be in the middle of the nightlife and dining scene, with many hostels like Spinners and Coolibah Lodge within easy reach.
How do I get from Perth Airport to the city centre hostels?
From Perth Airport, you can take the train from the nearby Airport Central station to the city in about 20 minutes, then walk to your hostel. Alternatively, rideshares and taxis are available, but the train is the most economical option.
Are hostels in Perth safe and walkable at night?
Perth is generally a safe city, and the central areas where most hostels are located are walkable at night. Northbridge is lively, with people around, but as with any city, it's wise to stay aware of your surroundings. The city's free CAT buses also run in the evenings, offering a convenient and safe way to get around.
Hostels in Perth
Perth's hostel scene is as spread out as the city itself, with clusters in the central business district, the ever-lively Northbridge, and even further afield in Scarborough and Mt Lawley. What ties them together is a focus on social spaces, shared kitchens, and the kind of casual, traveller-friendly vibe that makes meeting people easy. Prices here reflect that: you can still find a bed for under 30 AUD a night, while the more polished or better-located hostels push toward 90 AUD.
Nearly all of the hostels on this page sit within a short walk of the city's free CAT bus routes, making it easy to explore without spending on transport. For those watching their wallet, the budget end—think 20–40 AUD—usually means basic dorms and fewer frills, while the mid-range around 40–70 AUD buys more comfort, better amenities, and often a quieter night's sleep. Note that several properties here require a valid passport for check-in, so keep that in mind when booking.
The bottom line
This collection of hostels in Perth suits budget-conscious travellers, backpackers, and anyone who values a social atmosphere and shared facilities.
