This large
hostel (about 150 beds) has a busy poolside area. It's popular with longstay guests and can
be noisy, but it's close to Mt Lawley's bars and cafes.
Above Bored

In a quiet residential
neighbourhood, this 1927 Federation house is owned by a friendly TV scriptwriter. The
two themed rooms in the main house have eclectic decor, and in the garden there's a cosy
self-contained cottage with a kitchenette. In an expensive town for accommodation,
Above Board is great value. Northbridge and Mt Lawley are a short drive away.

Concealed behind the
whitewashed walls of this stylishly renovated heritage house is accommodation that's one-
part luxury boutique hotel and one-part welcoming B&B. Hip but elegant decor and inter-
esting artworks are evidence of the well-travelled owners' eclectic tastes, and it's just a
short walk to Kings Park or Subiaco's cafes and restaurants.
