jewell house is good value for money when it comes to privates, although the rooms only have the basic bed and a chair, for $52 you get time to your self. however, it is a ymca and theres a few scruffy looking dudes around the place and the hallways are a bit stinky.. no biggy though if cheap privacy is what you're after. we had no problems with anyone and it was very quiet too.

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 !

a really good deal I would come again Eckhard

Bit too much "health and safety."

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!!!

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!

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

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.

Thanks to the ladies on reception, they were very welcoming, pleasent and helpful.
