“Second time in prison - and I'm happy to return a third time”

At YHA Fremantle Prison, you have the chance to sleep in old cells of the Fremantle Women's Prison, or if that's too spooky for you, you can go for an ordinary room with prison flair. I stayed at the cells, first in the newly renovated downstairs cells. They come with a bunk bed, a table, and two chairs. Your windows are just like in prison: small and beneath the ceiling, so you can't escape/look out. The bunks and the pillows are new and comfortable. These cells are accessible. I also had some nights upstairs in the "older" cells; they are the same as downstairs, just have been used longer, and you get some sunlight into your cell. There are bathrooms located in the cells, as well as next to the kitchen. Some of the dorms have their own bathroom. The hostel has a spacious kitchen with everything you need, as well as a community area. Dining is possible inside and outside. The prison yard offers chess, table tennis, and volleyball. When you're lucky, there is a concert at the hostel at Fremantle Prison, and you get to hear everything for free. Freo Markets is less than a 5-minute walk away, Freo City is less than ten, and within fifteen minutes, you're at Bathers Beach for some stunning sunset moments. You get young backpackers as well as older travelers, the vibe is relaxed, and it's obvious the staff enjoys their work as well, which makes staying here even more comfortable. Kudos to the management on-site for that and for having the award-winning cleaners in their team. I surely will return one day, as for a writer, this is a very inspiring place to stay.
