Centrally located from the main attractions (Fremantle market, city centre, jetty). Safe and quiet neighbourhood. Easily walkable. Unfortunately, there was no hot water in the unisex bathroom I used.

Loved my stay here! It wasn't the nicest place but it's a prison so that is to be expected, and I thought it being a bit run-down made the experience more authentic. I do wish I was able to explore more of the buildings without having to pay for a tour though...

I loved my stay here from check in to check out. Staff were great. Facilities were new and in working order. Totally appreciated the upgrade. It would have been excellent if they had a freezer and no construction during my stay. Unique place.
