Britannia on William Backpackers

Located right in the town centre. You can walk everywhere from there. Our room was a decent size and had a fan which helped cooling down the hot environment. Staff really cares about keeping the place clean and they give it a good clean every morning. Staff at the desk is kind and helpful. The garden is amazing and it’s the place where everyone gathers at night to have a chat. There is a lovely quiet area upstairs, a big tv room with comfy sofas and enough space in the kitchen for everyone.

Staff very friendly and professional. Whenever I had a question they would help. Location (Northbridge) convenient. 5 mins from CBD. Single room (street-facing) was relatively quiet. I could not hear anyone in the rooms beside me. Bathrooms were empty most of the time I never had to wait my turn. The showers were separated for each person allowing for privacy. There was space to hang your clothes, towel and a shelf to put your toiletries. Bathrooms separated between men and woman. Plenty of social areas. However I noticed that many older people and workers are renting out rooms long term here so it is not really a party hostel but somewhere where people are actually living. Places to hang laundry Vending machines. Sim cards. Overall this is a decent hostel and I would definitely stay here again.

I booked a private room and it was just what I wanted. I knew it was an old building and from the other photos and reviews I didn't expect much, but it was clean and warm. Location is excellent, right near a central station.

The facilities were great, the lift worked properly which is amazing since I've been in other hostels without a lift and we would carry our bags through stairs. The stafff is amazing, friendly, nice, always eager to help. The hostel was improving its facilities with more food racks and fridges.

No problems at all in Room Nr4,very quiet roommates, surprisingly not sticky despite no window in winter.Strong Wifi most of time.No local homeless in this hostel,friendly and safe.
