BUG review
Inne Town is a centrally located hostel that is clean and fairly well maintained. It has a very nice balcony and the social atmosphere is good, although the television dominates the main common area and we found the staff rude when we visited. This hostel has the usual kitchen and laundry and also a pool table and barbecue. This is also a good place to arrange activities like touring the wineries and learning to surf.

Had a great stay here, 3 months and only 1 complaint. Everyone happy to be there and the place is well looked after, always clean each day. The Bathrooms DO need work, think they are past their use by date! BBQ and pool table are great in good weather, and a cool seating area out the back with pool table. Will always come back here when I get the chance, well done guys keep it up!

I stayed here 1 night, which probably isn't long enough to have got a fair impression of the place, other than to say all the usual facilities were there and working, the rooms were pretty nice, etc.

Stayed there twice, recently and 18 months before. It's improved 10 fold, Doug and Dave are really friendly and helpful. Much cleaner this time round (new owners) and the location is idea. Facilities have also been renovated/ replaced, clean and warm bedding, hot showers after a good surf very welcome. !!!

I stayed there for 2 weeks!!!

the staff is really great and friendly!! some of the rooms are small but clean and airy. the kitchen is clean and tidy with every thing you need to cook. And the common room with a big tv and a video.

Dave, the owner is rappidly improving the place and the things it has to offer and is a really great guy!!

I give it a full thumb-up and say that its the best hostel I stayed in in WA!!

This place has so much promise, but too many small problems that it fails to deliver.

I stayed in June 2003. The place is in an excellent location, far better than the YHA, which is slightly out of town. The staff were great, very friendly and willing to help. The place strikes me as a bit of a party hostel.

The things that make it bad are the waffer thin mattresses. They are not much thicker than the sheets. The rooms were pretty small, and the keys opened all the doors. The place itsself was fairly dirty, and the bathrooms really needed some major work done to them.

If you want to stay here, just way up what is important to you.

Overall, Margaret River is fantastic, and I wish I had stayed longer (but not in this hostel). We stayed two nights.

This place isn't great but the location is, which is probably why people stay here at all. The dorm was okay, a little crowded with six people. When I was there (October 2002) the showers weren't working in the women's bathroom so I had to use the men's - no privacy there! The facilities were run-down and the overall vibe of the place was depressing. I only stayed one night.

The place is old and dirty.

The bunk rooms are much to small it should be better with 4 beds inside.

The bathroom will not be cleaned every day i guess.

The rates for the party meals are a rip off.
