The place is centrally located. However there is no more positives. The staff is nice at the beginning. But once you stay there a bit longer, even if you pay your rent on time, there have issues. Do not stay there long term as you won't be treated with respect unfortunately.

Good building from outside. But hard if you bring lugage. They only have stair. Kitchen-chill room was in different floor. So not easy access. Room is good
very nice place to stay at Perth CBD. Easily reached by bus, only 50 metres by walk after. It has very unique exterior from outside, looks like a castle's gate. There is alot of open space inside the building for chilling out. And it has many fun games and activity that can we do. The price is also very good! I took a shared room with 8 people, it is stil very convenient though.
Would've given a 4 star as good prices, showers are hot with good power, rooms have aircon and friendly staff at reception, but the beds we stayed in had bedbugs. Also had to make own beds when arriving which isn't ideal although it is a huge hostel so would take the staff a lot of time. Rooms are good enough but nothing fancy. Seemed a pretty social place but wasn't staying for long. Parking is on road outside, paid from 8am-6pm Mon-Sat
This is surely a place for backpackers! I recently went to Perth, where I was looking for an affordable accommodation with good ambiance when I came across The Old Swan Barracks. The place offers a lovely stay with friendly staff, ample facilities, nice locality and welcoming atmosphere. Can’t resist to mention that the food here is absolutely delicious! I personally recommend this place to those who seek a lovely, comfortable stay in the city.
Nice big rooms with high ceilings. Very cold air con at night. Massively let down by the kitchen. Such a hassle to use plates / cutlery etc. Have to give a 10 deposit for a set of 1 plate 1 bowl and 1 knife and fork. All of which come in a weird plastic zip lock folder that gets condensation from people washing the stuff and putting it straight in. Kitchen was really disgustingly dirty at dinner time too. Not the hostels fault but was much worse than other hostels so maybe they need to police it more? If you are not bothered about cooking though, a good hostel.
Can’t complain at much because of the price. Here are some pros and cons anyway. Pros: cheap, powerful showers, wide comfy-enough beds, great location, 24 hour check in desk and good air con (though can get v cold). Cons: Thin walls, quite dirty kitchen and facilities, had to make own beds on arrival which was not ideal when we arrived at 2:30am and couldn’t see a thing, terrible WiFi, can’t bring in own alcohol (due to their license) and no recycling bins.
It is one of the best backpackers I been to in Perth, great to make worldwide mates or friends. It is located in the cbd of Perth, within the historical barracks dating back to the world wars from mixed doms to single room there is apart from a pool nothing to be missing here. A public cheap Bar is integrated into the reception so no byo here. Fri and Saturday they opening a big Hall with Bar down the back with its own Bar....Ping pong tables and music with the videos beeing played on the big screen....staff is super friendly....you also can sit in the front area left and right of the entry door , to smoke , drink and congregate, the grass is fake but the plants and people real....lots of arty and musical talented peeps here...giving it 5 and a half stars for dealing with akward guest.
