Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sundancer Backpackers, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (4th or 5th floor) of the Sundancer Backpackers in Fremantle for a quieter stay. These rooms are likely to be further away from the High Street noise, which can be significant given the hotel's location. Additionally, being on a higher floor will also help minimize the noise from the lift, which is a common source of disturbance in many hotels.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd) near the High Street may be noisier due to the proximity to the main road. You may also want to avoid rooms near the service entrance, as this area can be busier during peak check-in and checkout times.
Best views
Unfortunately, given the hotel's address on High Street, the views from the rooms may not be spectacular. However, if you're lucky, you might get a glimpse of the surrounding rooftops or the street scene. It's not the most scenic view, but it's a decent compromise for the convenience of being in the heart of Fremantle.
Quietest floors
4th and 5th floors
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially from the High Street, which can carry into the hotel. Additionally, the hotel's concrete floors on the higher floors can be quite hollow, so you may hear footsteps and voices from above.
Insider tips
Take advantage of the hotel's free Wi-Fi, which is a great perk for backpackers and travelers on a budget. If you're planning to explore Fremantle, request a room on the higher floors and ask for a room change if you're not satisfied with the initial allocation. The staff at Sundancer Backpackers are generally helpful and accommodating.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

货币与货币
Get a travel card →Australian Dollar, AUD
Use ATMs from major banks (Commonwealth, Westpac, NAB, ANZ) for fair rates; avoid currency exchange at the airport or tourist bureaux, which have poor rates and fees.
Card payments (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted; contactless (tap) is the norm. Mobile pay works everywhere cards do. Some small vendors and markets may be cash-only.
Tipping is not expected or required. In restaurants, rounding up or leaving small change is a nice gesture but never obligatory. Taxis and hotel staff do not expect tips.
吃,购物和旅行在一个预算
Cheap car hire →A regular flat white from a café or takeaway kiosk: around $4.50–$5.00.
A sandwich or wrap from a bakery or food court: $10–$14.
A main course at a casual pub or bistro: $18–$25. For less, try a bowl of noodles at a food court: $12–$15.
The suburbs around 6160 don't have dedicated street-food markets; for cheap eats, head to local shopping-centre food courts or fish-and-chip shops.
Coles and Woolworths are the main budget supermarkets; Aldi is cheaper. IGA is also common but slightly pricier.
Kmart and Target in shopping centres (e.g., Fremantle or Southlands Boulevarde) for basics. Market stalls at the Fremantle Markets (weekends) for secondhand or local clothes.
A Transperth SmartRider card gives the cheapest fares: a standard bus/train trip is about $2.00–$4.00. A day pass (same card) caps at around $10.00. From the airport, take the train (Line 1 from Airport Central station) into Perth city rather than a taxi or rideshare.
Buy groceries at Aldi over Coles/Woolworths. Use Transperth's SmartRider (tap on/off) not cash to avoid double fares. Eat lunch at food courts or bakeries rather than sit-down restaurants.
