Capsule Hostel Perth - note - Valid passport required to check-in
A good choice for solo and budget travellers seeking a quiet, private, and clean stay in central Perth, provided they are prepared for potentially limited bathroom availability.
The Capsule Hostel Perth provides a modern and clean accommodation option in a very convenient central location. Guests sleep in comfortable and spacious capsule beds, which offer a good level of privacy with features like reading lights and shelves. While the property is generally quiet and not a 'party hostel', some guests noted a lack of social ambience and events. A recurring issue is the insufficient number of shared bathrooms, which can lead to queues, and the shower cubicles are described as small with limited space for belongings. The staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and efficiency.
