About
Quokka Backpackers Hostel Perth - Note - Valid Passport Required To Check In
Quokka Backpackers Hostel is a straightforward, adults-only spot on Fitzgerald Street, about a 20-minute walk from Perth's centre. It's a social, budget-focused base with a shared kitchen, BBQ area, and rooms with air conditioning – welcome relief during Perth's hot summer months. The hostel keeps things simple: no pets, no smoking on site, and a valid passport is required to check in.
Guests consistently note the convenient location – close to the city, supermarkets, and a petrol station – and the helpful staff. The dorms are spacious, with individual power points and lights, and the shared bathrooms are kept clean. A basic breakfast is included, and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything from an air fryer to a rice cooker.
