Great

I stayed at Exclusive Backpackers for 4 nights in a private room with a private bath so I cannot comment on the quality of the dorm rooms nor on the kitchen or laundry facilities which I did not use. (I used the new, modern Lava Laundry Lounge a block up Adelaide Terrace towards the CBD.) My room — which looked out on a parking lot — was clean and tidy and was tended to daily (except Saturday) by housekeeping. There is no Wifi in the room, only in the common area. There was a TV which worked ok but not splendidly. The proprietors — particularly Stelios — were exceedingly friendly and keen to help with information and even carrying bags up and down the stairs. As noted, I had a fine stay but it is true — as stated in some other reviews — that EB appears also to be a residence for the down-and-out (possibly through some arrangement with the government). Occasionally, I heard outbursts of yelling or crying during my stay. However, they were brief and not particularly troublesome. Nevertheless, if you are likely to be distressed or frightened by encounters with the less fortunate, you probably should not stay here. Finally, it is an easy walk or quick ride on the free Red Cat bus from Exclusive Backpackers’ East Perth location to the CBD or the fleshpots and bright lights of Northbridge.



Fine stay at a mixed use residence

Stayed for one night due to locality of the car rental and appeared to be okay on first impressions. How wrong we were it turns out this place is a halfway house with residents being the sort of people you don’t want to meet when backpacking. Other residents were children bizarrely...

Avoid if you haven’t been just released from prison or recovering from an addiction. 

Not for backpackers 

The staff here were absolutely lovely and made us feel very comfortable at the beginning. Also our room was relatively clean and what you would expect at a hostel. However, the place is full of old and creepy men living there. I felt as though I was staying in a mental asylum. At roughly 9pm we were sitting on the balcony and heard yelling we looked down and one guest was hitting another with a broom very brutally!! 
It did not have a backpackers vibe at all! We have stayed in backpackers all around the world and have never felt so unsafe. I would definitely not recommend to stay here especially if you are a young girl. 

None of this was the owners fault and if there were not so many old drunk men here it would be a wonderful place to stay. 

Horrible

Whilst the woman in charge at the front desk was lovely and very tolerant, and the man helpful with bags, I would not recommend staying here if you are a young woman. There is quite a large number of older, often drunk men who made our group feel incredibly uncomfortable. One even charged at one of the girls as she walked to the bathroom and stared at her, grunting, while she walked around. We found a man staring into our rooms which prompted the lovely owner to suggest we lock our doors. However, the door locks were faulty and attempts were made to open one of the dorms in the middle of the night by someone from the outside. Additionally, the man at the front desk told a middle aged male guest not to worry that he was in an all-male dorm room as there were young girls on either side of him. All of this made us feel incredibly unsafe and whilst the staff appeared to be understanding, this was not at all good enough. For your own safety, do not stay here if you are in a young group of women. Not a single one of us felt safe around the guests.
As for the facilities, the kitchen is reasonably well equipped and there is a great fridge, however it is old, our sheets were stained and smelly, the rooms were freezing and the bathrooms weren't the cleanest. Free WiFi and location are excellent, as was the woman at the front desk who was very patient with us, especially when we were talking loudly-but it just isn't worth the security risk. I understand staff cannot pick and choose patrons, however this appeared to be a halfway house and telling other guests which rooms the young women are staying is completely inappropriate and utterly irresponsible. I have never felt less safe in my life.
