I stayed here a long time ago and love to come back, it is quirky, old, nostalgic, littered with character and hidden history. Plus it is super affordable and really conveniently located.

Pancakes each morning were great and stimulated friendly interactions between guests and staff. Taco the pussycat was a hit with our 11 year old. Amenities were great, generally clean plenty of room & equipment to cook your own meals. The men’s bathroom stinks, Urinal poorly cleaned/maintained.

If you want to be in the centre of town the location is quite good with public transport just across the road. I had a private room bed was very uncomfortable mattress has definitely had its day, shared bathroom facilities are definitely not great needs renovation. But depending on your budget it nay just be your thing. Lots of interesting guests to meet and strike up a conversation .Staff were friendly.

This place are in the centre of the town. Walks easily everywhere. Rooms only and shared toilets and baths, however, it is perfect just for a couple who loves travelling and exploring places, not looking for a decent room. Good for a group of friends. Totally recommended to all explorers and backpackers.

Big hostel with good communal spaces, well equipped if disorganised kitchen. Free pancakes in the morning were delicious. Bed was very squeaky.

Good location. People are very friendly. The carpark is in need of some resurfacing - especially in winter, when it's wet.

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

One thing to note is that it is quite run down and old, which has a bit of an appeal. However, we got locked inside our room as the door lock was broken and were told to just leave it unlocked, so just be aware and double check!

10/10 Exceptional

1849 is a very bussy backpacker hostel! The rooms are of reasanoble size and the staff is very helpfull and friendly. I recomend it to all backpackers and to those who want to stay in Albany (Western Australia) at low but convenient price. There is one free pan-cake in the morning between 8:30-10;30 ($2 each for susequent ones). Dr. Raul Raiter

I enjoy this place, it was built in 1849 as the name of the place. The room is simple, with 1 window, 1 fan, 1 table lamp, no TV. However, there is a common area with Books, TV, Table Tennis, Board Games, etc There is also a common kitchen with all the pot and pans. The best of all, free Pancakes for breakfast. Location wise, this place is walking distance to town centre, very convenient. I deduct 1 star is because the place is a little old, and need some repair on certain areas, like some shower cubicle door is broken, gents urinal flush is leaking, kettle needs replacing. If you can get pass those minor defect, this place is fantastic
