Stayed at bamboo for 2 weeks and had the best time of my life. This is a party hostel located across the street from the Dean(nightclub) and next door to the Shed (another party location), so the music is blasting all night. Also the hostel plays music untill 12 am... this is not a place to have many good night... More

Was looking for a lively hostel with a party atmosphere. This hostel definitely ticked that box, however overall security of the place was very poor. Would definitely not recommend leaving valuables behind! After a night out in Perth came back to the hostel to find someone else sleeping in my bed (despite it being obviously taken!). So had to spend... More

This is one of the poorest hostels I have stayed in. In fact, I had my shoes stolen in another hostel yet I would return to that one before I’d stay at the Bambu again! The inside of the hostel is dark and dreary as there are no windows, which is pretty depressing considering all the Aussie sunshine outside! The... More

only staff were travellers themselves, no obvious management. rooms only cleaned once a week. They are dark and dingy. Was there for a week and had NO hot showers. Always cold. Not really much of an atmosphere. It's no boutique hostel. It's just tacky.
