Beatty Lodge

I went to check in with my son and they would not accept his West Australian Learners Permit or Australian Passport as identification. Both have his photo and he is over 18. They said they would only accept either a West Australian Drivers license or overseas ( not Australian ) passport. I tried to explain that a learners permit is a drivers license but not joy. I asked to speak to someone else in charge and they said no, rules are rules.

I give one star for the cheap price.
The service was VERY rude at reception. I just got back to Perth after 3 weeks away working.
I had a valid driver's licence & my fiancé had a WA photo ID.
Our booking was cancelled & I didn't get a refund, all because my fiancé didnt have a driver's licence on her, at the time. (Just a valid WA photo card with licence number on it.)
We were forced to sleep in my car for the night.
We just wanted to have a nice bed to sleep in after working away for 3 weeks.

Don't ever stay here!.
It was my first time travelling alone. My booking was confirmed.
I was due to arrive 5 minutes after closing, I called them 20 minutes before closing to let them know I'll be arriving, they didn't answer.
When I arrived the "emergency " staff was rude, had no idea what to do and extremely unhappy I had pulled her from her room.
The refused to check Me in and left me sitting on the side of the road in the dark with no place to go.
I'd give then negative stars if it was an option

Was expecting a lot Better
The rooms are dark and dingy
Lighting is bad
No heating
And states free wifi but needs a special code
And by the time we came back to counter the counter was shut so no wifi for us either

Felt very at home here. Can't complain. Showers were Hot, kitchen functional n very clean. N friendly reception guy

Cheap price but dated and smelly room, and dodgy people around. We left the same day even if we booked for 4 nights.
Despite that, the guy at the reception was very nice, and the hostel manager reached out and made sure to help us.
I appreciated that.

Separate dorms for males and females are great but on some levels the toilets are on the opposite sides for some reason. Parking is only available for high priced rooms but if you're there on a weekend there's space across the road near the pool. Friendly service but it's an older complex now.

Great hostel / budget accommodation for quiet people looking to rest.
I've found Beatty lodge to be generally quiet clean, basic, affordable, and comfortable. Its not a party hostel but can be comfortably social with a good mix of people from both national and international backgrounds. The staff are quite approachable and happy to help, the kitchen is spacious and reasonably clean, and the dinning space is comfortable. It's got a nice pool and across the road is fully equipped pool complex. The rooms are nicely spacious, warm in the winter and cool in the summer, bedding is basic but comfortable

My week stay in a private room was bearable. The room and building felt very much like a boarding school. In my room was a relatively comfy bed, a desk and chair, wall mount tv and some shelves for my gear. The pool is a good feature however due to the design of the building the pool temp is mainly cold (be great mid summer). My biggest issue was with the kitchen. Plates and cutlery are available for hire and there is minimal cooking utensils and basic pots and pans. There also seems to be a plumbing issue as the kitchen floor drain was blocked and overflowing. Great staff though who kept facilities
