Pros: Lovely hosted and clean hostel with very friendly staff. They immediately told me where to buy food nearby, what to see first of all, how to distribute my time in the city. Well equipped kitchen, there will be no problems with cooking. Clean room and shower. I have never been denied my requests, the hotel managers Sean and Ginn are wonderful guys who know how to please guests.

Pros: Sean and the other major were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I felt very comfortable there and there are plants dotted around to make the property feel very tranquil and relaxing. It's a quiet location and within walking distance of a supermarket, pub, restaurants, takeaways, a hairdresser, etc. A mixture of people stay here and if you are happy with simple comfort, don't mind sharing a bathroom (there are many to choose from) and want some time off-grid (no televisions in the rooms), then Kookaburra Inn is for you. There are kitchen facilities and books also.

Pros: First, Sean (the manager) is really nice and friendly. Offers A LOT of information about the local area (things that you normally would Google like how to explore the city in one day, what's good and what's not so good); and is really helpful with other things. The location is good also - far enough from CBD that it is calm and quiet at night, but not too far that you can pretty much still walk to CBD and surrounding areas (like Chinatown and Story Bridge). Easy check in, easy check out.

Cons: Some guests do not always understand that they interfere with others when they arrange public family quarrels. This has nothing to do with hotel, but an attempt by the guests to draw me into this this quarrel spoiled one of the evening of my stay.

The roof terrace and swimming pool are a great addition and the views over CBD amazing, especially at night. The beds are comfortable and there is air conditioning in the female dorm.
Cons: The six-bed dorm was a bit cramped and was not cleaned regularly. The carpet in the dorm and corridors was rather smelly. Perhaps lino floors would be a better choice, easier to keep clean and more hygienic. Some extra hooks in the bathrooms would make life easier when showering. The wi-fi only worked in the cafe area, where the temperature was glacial and it was rather slow. I paid for premium wi-fi and that made a huge difference

Pros: Nice little home with a charming atmosphere, 15 minutes walking from South Bank and Brisbane's CBD. Also very practical for those visiting the St. Lucia Campus of The University of Queensland.
Cons: I DID NOT received the check-in code via mail or SMS to open the front door and the check-in process relies on assumption that you have an Australian Phone number, which might not be the case for all travellers... Wifi not included in the price of the room and (again) if you want the password, you need to call the manager with you Australian phone number. The battery of the smoke detector in my room went off at 2.30 am and although they were pretty quick in sending someone to remove it, it did affect my night of sleep...

5.0 Okay
Pros: Good location, room was adequate and the viewing tower is a great addition.
Cons: The kitchen was disgraceful when we used it, really unclean which I know is down the individuals using but nobody was around to clean up or enforce rules. Sinks were blocked, wrappers in the sink water and food all over the place. It’s quite a party place too and noisy heading towards midnight which isn’t useful if up for early travels. Private rooms aren’t so private when you consider how thin the walls are and that they are adjacent to the dorms. If you’re looking for somewhere to party then this is your place; if like us you’re looking for a bed/nights sleep for the evening, avoid at all costs.

Pros: Staff were extremely helpful. I was in an 8-bed dormitory, and there was plenty of room.
Breakfast was basic but did the job...cereal and toast, coffee/tea and cordial.
Never seemed to be too noisy to sleep.
Cons: They had a separate area for smokers, but when the wind blew in the wrong direction, you could smell it while eating.
7.9 Good
Pros: Lovely location and well secure. 24 Hour reception and friendly staff. They have a licensed bar so unfortunately you can’t take your own alcohol inside the property. It was in great location to the beautiful Southbank Parklands. Swimming pool, and man made beach to use. It’s was very quiet at the hotel even while there were plenty of other guests. The beds were very comfortable. Will be happy to stay here in the future.
Cons: There’s was only a small car park so we were luck to get a parking spot on the road. It’s free parking overnight, then from 8am it’s 3 hour parking.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: Always have a great stay here if it’s for a short stay, great food deals and helps with locating work
Cons: in my opinion though I think they need to find a way to cool the rooms down other than fans, too warm when trying g to sleep in an 8 bed dorm. Also bathrooms could do with a little attention feel dated

Pros: Value for money. Walking distance to South Bank, shops and restaurants.
Cons:

Pros: Lots of space for the luggages in the room. Free breakfast with toasts and spreads. Clean. Staff is nice.

Pros: It’s a small venue but with style. That’s for sure! It feels more like being in a living room of a friend, what is amazing. The terrace with a view over Brisbane and the sunset is just beautiful to sit, eat and have a chat. I loved the atmosphere! Breakfast was full of different stuff, fresh fruits, yogurt, weetbix, toast, jam... and it is a really tidy, clean place with lovely stuff! Highly highly recommend it. In 11 month of traveling this was the best hostel I’ve been, by fare.

There is no place to prepare the food when four people are cooking. The linen that I had was old and spotted, and I could see the blanket had probably not been clean in a long time (blood spot on it.) You can find better for the same price !

Cons: It is a land bank. There is no investment in the property ...one might say its on “life support”. This is evident from expediture directed at maintenance and improvements to meet minimum legislative compliance - and not comfort or ease of use. The onsite managers do their best, and the place has a great friendly vibe which means they are are doing well with little. On the whole, the accommodation is probably borderline habitable by local standards and a functional risk assessment is long overdue.
