Overview & Location
Hostel G Perth is a shared-room accommodation located at Perth WA 6000, Australia — close to the central area of Perth. The property offers only shared-room units (shared_room) with a minimum lease of four weeks. It becomes available from 6 July 2026. The building includes laundry facilities, disabled access, a social area, and allows dual occupancy (meaning two people can share the same room).
The property has a Google rating of 3.7 out of 5 based on 651 reviews. Note that the platform’s own rating fields are empty, so public reviews are the main source of guest sentiment.
Who Is This Residence For?
Hostel G Perth works best for travellers or students who want a low-commitment, short-to-medium stay in a social environment. Because all rooms are shared dorms, this residence suits people who:
- Are comfortable sharing a room with strangers (mixed dorm available, based on reviews).
- Want a lease of just one month or longer (minimum 4 weeks).
- Value common facilities: kitchen equipment (kettle, rice cooker, microwave, air fryer — mentioned by one reviewer), laundry, and a social area.
- Need wheelchair-accessible accommodation (tagged “Disabled Access”).
- Prefer a central Perth location without needing a private room.
The property is listed as a hostel-style residence, so it may be a good fit for solo travellers, backpackers, short-term interns, or students who are still looking for permanent housing and need a temporary base.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
Given the mixed public feedback (including a strongly negative review), this residence is not for everyone. You may want to consider other options if:
- You require absolute quiet or privacy — shared dorms come with potential noise and lack of personal space.
- You have had negative experiences with hostel-style management in the past; one reviewer reported feeling “ganged up on” by staff.
- You prefer a fixed long-term lease of several months or a year — the minimum is only four weeks, but the maximum lease is not specified; however, the weekly price range is wide (AUD 433–3,471), which may indicate that longer stays cost more per week or that different room sizes/ occupancy affect the price.
- You want your own bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen — only shared rooms are on offer.
- You need certainty about price: the range is very broad (AUD 433 to 3,471 per week), so the actual cost depends on the exact room type, occupancy, and booking window. You must confirm the price with the operator.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available. We quote them verbatim (with minor truncation at the end of the longer ones as shown in the data).
Positive (5-star):
“It was my first time staying in a hostel as a solo traveler, and I think it perfectly captured my imagination as a solo traveler staying in a hostel. The lobby is clean and comfortable, and drinking water is available, as well as laundry and kitchen facilities (kettle…rice cooker…microwave…air fryer). The staff are fri” — Kai Yang Thor
“I had an amazing experience staying at this hostel — definitely a 10 out of 10. I’m from Chile, and from the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind. The staff in particular were always warm, welcoming, and willing to help with anything I needed. I felt truly cared for. I stayed in a mixed dorm room with six peo” — antonia lavadocid
Negative (1-star):
“Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. I have never felt so unwelcome in a place that is supposed to accommodate travellers. When I raised a concern, instead of listening or trying to help, multiple staff members seemed to side against me and I felt completely ganged up on. The way I was spoken to was rude, ” — k b
The positive reviews highlight cleanliness, social atmosphere, kitchen facilities, and helpful staff. The negative review warns about a poor service experience when raising a concern. With 651 total reviews and an average 3.7, the property is generally rated above average but has notable outliers.
Price Positioning & Room Types
The property’s published weekly price range is AUD 433–3,471. This is a very wide spread. For context, the city of Perth has a “from” price of AUD 222 per week across 14 properties on the platform (likely the cheapest available shared or private room in the city). That means Hostel G Perth’s lowest possible price (AUD 433/week) is about double the city’s cheapest option. However, the upper end (AUD 3,471) suggests premium rooms (perhaps a smaller shared room with fewer beds or a private ensuite within a shared apartment — but note the unit type is only “shared_room”, so the higher price may reflect a single-bed occupancy of a double room or a peak-season booking).
All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator. The actual rate you pay depends on the specific room configuration, length of stay, number of occupants, and availability at the time of booking.
Since there is only one room type (shared_room), the main decision is whether you want a bed in a shared dorm. The property does not offer private studios or apartments. Dual occupancy is allowed, so two people can share the same room (likely a twin or double bed in a shared setting). If you are a couple or two friends travelling together, this may reduce the per-person cost.
Booking Timing Considerations
The residence opens for occupancy from 6 July 2026. Because the property is a hostel with a minimum lease of 4 weeks, it is likely that many rooms will be booked by travellers on short stays. If you want to secure a spot for a specific date, especially during peak summer (December–February) when Perth’s tourist demand is high, you should book several months in advance. Conversely, if you are flexible on dates, last-minute availability might still exist, but the price may be at the upper end of the range.
Note that the Google rating is based on 651 reviews — a reasonable sample size. The mixed feedback means you should read more recent reviews (if available) before committing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hostel G Perth suitable for students?
It depends on your budget and privacy preference. Hostel G Perth offers only shared rooms, starting at AUD 433 per week (indicative). That is higher than the city’s cheapest option (AUD 222/week). If you are a student on a tight budget and willing to share a room with strangers, it could work for a short-term stay (min 4 weeks). However, students who need a quiet study environment may find a dorm too distracting.
What is included in the weekly price?
The available data does not list specific inclusions beyond the property tags: laundry facility, disabled access, social area, and dual occupancy. Reviews mention kitchen facilities (kettle, rice cooker, microwave, air fryer), drinking water, and clean common areas. You should ask the operator whether utilities (electricity, water, internet) are included or charged separately. The price range is very wide, so the exact inclusions likely vary by room.
Can I book for less than 4 weeks?
No — the minimum lease is 4 weeks (28 days). If you need a shorter stay, you would need to look for other hostels that offer nightly or weekly rates without a 4-week minimum.
