What people say

"If you don't like the big cities this is the place to go. Fremantle or FREO for the friends is a cosy neighborhood just outside the city center of PERTH. This hostel is part of the YHA group and has a nice price for what you get. Like i've said: Australia is not the best to find cheap and clean hostels but this hostel is actually nice and on a unique location. You could guess this already, it's in the old prison. It has a big kitchen to socialize with your new friends, close to the markets and not far from the beach. Only benefits if you ask me. "
"Experience a historical and unique stay at the YHA Fremantle Prison. Built in the 1850s it's the only accommodation in Western Australia with UNESCO World Heritage Status. If you’re feeling adventurous, sleep in the actual prison cells! The hostel also has an additional purpose-built building with ensuited private rooms. Fremantle Markets are around a 6-minute (350m) walk away!"

Mentioned in these guides

We do love a good local market! Being 'in town' on the right day to catch market day is crucial - sometimes they're daily (or nightly!), some are on Saturdays or Sundays, and some are only on every second weekend or so. So do plan ahead - and don't miss out! We love wandering around and checking out the local products and wares - especially the food!! We're pretty biased and think Salamanca Market in Lutruwita/Tasmania is the best market in the world! Yesssss we know Barcelona's La Rambla Market is pretty darn impressive and we've been to some epic markets in Asia and South America too, but Nipaluna/Hobart packs well above its weight with an amazing local arts, craft and artisan scene, very talented buskers and of course the food is amazing! You can also pick up great handmade souvenirs as well as locally grown fruit, veg and other produce. Australia's markets are not to be missed. Wander through the stalls and rub shoulders with locals and tourists alike. And, of course, in Australia markets are safe (no pick pockets!), are generally accessible (check the website links below for more!) and many are committed to sustainability with biodegradable, recycled or reusable packaging and no single-use plastics in sight. Feel good by supporting local businesses and artists. And if you do feel the need to buy souvenirs - check the labelling and make sure you are buying locally made products whenever you can. OK now we're craving a papaya salad at sunset at Mindil Market in Darwin!!
