About

At check-in, Kangaroo Inn reserves the right to request a $200 upfront security deposit from guests as condition of stay. This is to cover Kangaroo Inn for any damage caused by guests (and/or their visitors) or guests (and/or their visitors) leaving rooms or common areas excessively dirty. Subject to no damage or extra cleaning required, the full balance of security deposit will be immediately refunded at checkout or when reception desk is next open if the guest checks-out outside reception hours (subject to general bank clearing times if deposit done by credit card/debit card/bank transfer). Please do not make a booking if you are unwilling to accept this as it forms part of our terms and conditions of stay. Please note the non-refundable nature of some of our booking category types.

Welcome and Thanks For Checking Out Kangaroo Inn – Perth’s Best and Most Awarded Premium Backpackers.

We are the only Backpackers to have won multiple awards in the WA Tourism Awards with Silver in 2016, Gold in 2015 and Silver in 2014!

We are definitely not a party hostel but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun during your stay here. We are close by to all of Perth’s major attractions such as the Swan River, Perth Mint, Kings Park, Art Gallery, Perth Arena, WACA and the Murray St and Hay St Malls. Public transport is also nearby whether Ferry, Bus or Train. Plus, although we are only a 10 minutes walk from the Northbridge entertainment precinct we are far enough from the noise if you want to get a good nights sleep.

Which brings us to the rooms, regardless if you choose our comfortable private rooms or budget dorm rooms you will get a good nights sleep with our 4 star hotel grade mattresses and soft cotton sheets. Private rooms (except for twin bunk rooms) get the added bonus of TVs and in room safes.

All rooms are well-appointed and include reverse-cycle air conditioning with in-room controls and ample power points to charge your devices. Linen and towels are also provided.

Guests share bathroom facilities; there are dedicated mens' and ladies’ bathrooms on each floor, fitted out with luxury fixtures.

Kangaroo Inn has multiple common facilities including a massive basement common room, commercial kitchen, outdoor deck, a reading room, lobby/computer areas and guest laundry. Of course WiFi is available throughout the premises.

Limited off street parking is also available subject to availability and fees.

Good central location but only recommend if you will be out for most of the day. Rooms are quite small, the kitchen is dirty and only has one fork lol, the common area is big but inside a dark basement. Lots of private rooms so mainly middle aged working men

It does what it says on the tin. Clean enough and great location for bars erc. Warning for those with excema/ sensitive skin and allergies: they seem to use a strong perfumed detergent on the linens. I left with an allergic reaction to the fragrance/fabric softener/detergent. It was my fault for not checking ahead but I usually have no problem as most places use a neutral detergent
