Mostly Acceptable Bathrooms

While my experience with the bathrooms was a bit mixed, I found them to be mostly acceptable. Having several bathrooms available ensured I didn't have to wait too long, and they were kept clean enough for general use.

Sundancer is a vibrant hostel, perfect for long-term stays with a friendly atmosphere and great facilities like a pool and gaming options. While the location is excellent for meeting new friends and finding work, the internet situation could be challenging and some rooms may lack space. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for those looking to settle in Fremantle while still enjoying a social vibe.

My stay at Sundancers was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the staff was incredibly welcoming, creating a friendly and home-like atmosphere that made me feel comfortable right away. The hostel has a great communal vibe, with a bar, pool, and plenty of opportunities to socialize. However, the room we stayed in was cramped and not very clean, and we were disappointed by the limited internet access. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you’re on a budget, but it could definitely use some improvements.

I had quite an experience at this hostel. On the positive side, the kitchen was huge and well-equipped, and I loved the free bagels and BBQ on Tuesdays. Unfortunately, it felt a bit like a long-term living situation rather than a typical hostel, which made meeting other travelers difficult. The cleanliness was a major issue as well, with some areas feeling neglected. Overall, I appreciated what they offered, but it didn't meet my expectations for a hostel atmosphere.

I had a mixed experience at this hostel. On one hand, the social atmosphere was lively and I met some great people. However, the noise levels at night and issues with cleanliness were significant drawbacks. If you're looking for a party vibe and don't mind the chaos, it could be a good choice, but it's not ideal for those wanting peace and quiet.

My stay at this backpackers was quite the adventure! The atmosphere was vibrant, and I made some lifelong friends during my three months here. The central location is a huge plus, as everything from the beach to nightlife is just a short walk away. But be warned, the facilities do get a bit hectic, especially the kitchen during peak hours, which can be messy at times. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking to immerse yourself in a communal living experience.
