Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 8th January 2009 Couple 31-40 3/5 Comments: Quite a few strange people hanging around outside and in the reception area. We had bed bugs in the first room so moved to another room at 1.00am. Staff were pretty good though, cleaned all of our clothes for free. If you are on a budget like us then the YMCA is ok for the money - just don't expect luxury !

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 11th December 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: we did not feel comfortable in this hostel, our room smelt very bad. there was a bit of a kitchen with a kettle, toaster and microwave but there was no plates or anything so i don't know how you were suppose to eat you food!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 1st December 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: I felt somewhat uneasy in this place for some reason. The man on reception was very helpful though. Its situated on what seems like a rough estate with a lot of building work. I couldnt stay for more than one night and the though of getting a dorm frightened the life out of me. The corridors reminded me of THE SHINING.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 27th November 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: We had a nice stay in this place, it's clean, quiet and close to perth's cbd. Only problem is the kitchen, there's no stove or plates, cutlery etc.. kitchen only has a microwave and toaster!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 18th September 2008 Male 25-30 2/5 Comments: We cut our stay short. The place was institutional, didn´t feel safe, smelled BAD, and everyone was always fighting or drunk. The last straw was a girl asleep snoring loud enough to wake us in a pool of vomit ON the toilet in the bathroom.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 24th November 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Great Staff and help, although not much to do. No tv in rooms and need to travel floors to get to the bathroom is very annoying

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Malaysia 16th November 2008 Mixed Group 31-40 2/5 Comments: We have booked for 4 nights but the 3rd day morning, the staff knocked our door and asked us to checked out. It has frighten my daughter who was sleeping at that moment. She is only 5 months old!!! When I proved to them with my booking document, my another stay was secured BUT I was asked to move to another room at another floor. Just imagine I got to pack my belonging & moved my baby just because the mistake made by the hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 13th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Thanks to the ladies on reception, they were very welcoming, pleasent and helpful.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 13th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: I have to mention that the counter staff are excellent. Efficient and helpful. The condition of the building and facilities need an upgrade though. Good affordable budget accommodation.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating South Africa 12th November 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: Hi there At Jewell House, the male bathrooms and toilets were generally not in a hygienic condition and needed cleaning and sanitation in a big way. My other complaint is that for a non smoking establishment, there is plenty of smoking going on in the rooms plus all of the towels I was given absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke and were unusable. Otherwise, a good stay. Cheers

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 10th November 2008 Couple 25-30 1/5 Comments: we checked out the minute we checked in. it was full of junkies. disgusting

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 8th November 2008 - Age Group 3/5 Comments: I arrived at 2am to check in and there was someone there at the reception. And taking the advice from previous customer, I brought enough cash to pay at the counter and not usemy credit card. Jewell House is located just a few minute walk from city and also on the route of the city free bus service. I just didn't enjoy the fact that the share bathroom for guys and girls are located on different floors. I had to walk up a different floor everytime I need need to use the toilet and take a shower. Rooms are neat and clean.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 6th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The showers and the toilets were a little gross to use. I would remodel then and keep them up better in the future. Alll and all i enjoyed my room and the view was nice

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 25th October 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: That was one of the most weird hostels i have ever been to. It is a better idea to spend three doller more and go to YHA Hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Malaysia 15th October 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: WC areas always with stagnant urine. The toilets door kept open, smelly alll over the corridor!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 1st October 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: Stayed at this Hostel for 11 days. All receptionists very helpful. Had room on the 8th floor, Room clean and tidy, found bed very comfy? Breakfast at hostel okay. Very close to city centre. (Free bus right out side (Red Cat)) Does get some unusual characters staying as right next to Hospital all friendly though.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 7th October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Good for the money, but not really one for backpackers since most people staying there are there for the hospital next door. Hence; no crack.(fun)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 4th October 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Rooms were great but would have appreciated dishes and cutlery in communal kitchens

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 30th September 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 4/5 Comments: Toilets and bathroom were in below average state but for the money, location and a private room it was very good.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 31st August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: There did seem to be a bit of Flavour at this Hostel. Never threatening but the load shouting and bumping behind closed doors and male guests on the female only floor were a bit worrying.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 13th August 2008 Male 41+ 4/5 Comments: It is fine for te money.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 19th August 2008 Male 41+ 3/5 Comments: bit of maintenance to be done on ablutions

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 12th August 2008 Female 18-24 1/5 Comments: I booked 9 nights at Jewell House and stayed only two nights. At Jewell House were very strange people (alcoholic). I felt not safe in this hostel. Don´t stay here!!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 16th July 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: there appears to be a lot of deferred maintenance in the building, better cleaning required. Also, you need a policeman to make rounds, as the smell of smoke was apparent in halls and elevators.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Denmark 3rd July 2008 Female 31-40 1/5 Comments: the kitchen is a microware, nothing more and its a rehab place. DON'T STAY THERE.
