Old Swan Barracks is called barracks for a reason. It has a history, a
heritage and a legacy. Before becoming a backpacker hostel, Old Swan
Barracks was a barracks that was built by the British army in 1896. It
was built to train militia and occupy military presence in Western
Australia.
The building was built with limestone that gives it a romantic fortress
appearance. Now this beautiful piece of history is available for anyone
and everyone. And of course, we offer modern amenities that you may
expect at any 21st century hostel.
