The Hive Hostel

Absolutely horrific. Tash the manager is the biggest weirdo and control freak to ever walk this planet. Beyond me why someone would have a power trip over being a manager of such a dive. She is an awful human being. So so rude from the get go, arrogant, has absolutely 0 control over her own emotions which is probably why she tries to control everything and everyone around her. I approached her about a lost item of mine which I suspected to be stolen as others had items stolen that very morning. Absolutely zero accusations made towards anyone. the girls I was staying with were a superb bunch… However, things don’t just disappear. I found the item as it was placed somewhere by someone although it was definitely in my suitcase (I hadn’t taken anything out of it at this point), I was frustrated, Understandably. She called me “crazy” as I walked back to my room. Very rich coming from a lunatic like herself. She probably wouldn’t even be able to understand half of this review since she has no understanding of the English language and the definition of words. Shes kicked out 3 people from just our dorm in 4 days, NO REFUND. Honestly, she kicked one girl out for having an argument with her OWN boyfriend and said she was displaying antisocial behaviour. Tash I highly suggest you seek help and get therapy. You have issues that need to be addressed. You are a manager of a hostel that resembles a prison. Get a grip of yourself. Body fluids on the bed sheet, toilets are stinking, very cliquey. Better wear shoes in the shower. Spending more than one night here is essentially a life sentence. Pay the little bit extra and go somewhere decent.

I recently stayed at this hostel and was pleasantly surprised, especially considering the budget-friendly rates. The backpackers vibe was strong, with plenty of inviting hangout spaces. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The interior had a cool, hipster atmosphere that added character to the place. A nice touch was the occasional complimentary bread and milk in the kitchen. Plus, the diversity of guests made for a memorable experience, as I got to meet people from all corners of the globe. Overall, a great value for the experience!

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.

First, the lady on the phone was extremely rude. She and her coworker had poor communication between each other. The guy told me that I could change my check-in entry anytime as I wished, but then apparently, she claimed he was doing a bad job. As a result, what I was initially told would not have been possible. She essentially took my money without even giving me a chance to modify my check-in date. It's a bad place with poor administration

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.

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!

This place is not that great. They blast music until well after 1AM. If you like having a good night's sleep, I suggest staying away from this place at all costs. This place is also small and cramped and is too full of people.

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.
