About

Shiralee Hostel -Note - Valid Passport Required To Check In

Shiralee Hostel sits in Perth's Asia Town, a short walk from The Astor Theatre and within easy reach of Kings Park. The hostel is spread over 57 rooms, with a mix of female-only dorms and budget twins. The vibe is deliberately social — a large common area, outdoor courtyard, game room, and regular events like movie and DJ nights make it easy to meet fellow travellers.

Facilities are kept in impressive shape: guests repeatedly note the cleanliness of the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry.
