A warm welcome awaits you at '1201 East Backpackers'. We offer you quality service, comfortable and affordable accommodation, and all this available at the best location at the stylish end of Hay Street in Perth. Our guests instantly take to the unique atmosphere and cosy surroundings, even the shyest newcomer to backpacking soon feels at home and becomes part of the 1201 family.

We offer clean, spacious dorms and bedrooms where our guests have enough space for themselves and their kit. A great selection of different bedding configuration for every taste and budget is available as well as a comfortable bed for that good sleep, regardless of the time of day.

You can cook that special meal or just a sandwich in our well-equipped kitchen, each of our guests gets their personal plates, cups and cutlery so no one has to share. The dining room is large enough for a banquet of thirty and small enough for that intimate dinner for two.

There are two supermarkets, a post office, two bottle shops, many hotels and bars, night clubs and many restaurants all nearby. The Swan River, the Western Australian cricket grounds are also just seconds away from our front door.
