Brisbane hostels

Pros: Excellent location. Sean the manager was really helpful and accessible when I needed questions answered. The place was very clean and the upkeep was very good.

Cons: Tv room being closed down

Pros: Host is very welcoming and it is easy to check in late. The room and facilities are a little bit old but everything is very clean! The air conditionning is working well. It is a safe and calm neighboorhoud. Good location to walk around the City!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great Welcome, location and facilities

Pros: It was comfortable the room.

Cons: Needs more seating areas.

Pros: No breakfast

Pros: Bathroom was big and easy to use Storage lockers next to the bunk beds was easy to use, especially for the top bed Offering tea bag and coffee Friendly staffs

Cons: Kitchen is too small The aged discrimination policy sent by the email (only allows aged 18 to 35 )

Pros: Great staff Location is good. Close to Greyhound bus and shops. Beds were good, plugs and lockers provided. Free pasta, pancakes and BBQ while we stopped. Seems like them have something going on every night.

Cons: Kitchen is stupidly small. 19 rooms (assume most are dorms if not all) on site and only 2 cooking stations. 4 showers and 4 toilets for men and this is a unisex bathroom so that it’s always pretty crowded. Girls only bathroom only had 2 showers and was shut for the first two days. All bathrooms and showers are on bottom floor. AC in our dorm kept the room warm rather than cool. You have to borrow pots and pans from reception which nobody tells you so most people spend their first night waiting ages for them.

Pros: It's a bed in a fairly central location. Staff are helpful and there's a simple breakfast available to guests

Cons: Showers and toilets are basic. Rooms are large and crowded. The central location is on a noisy main road. Wifi is patchy in the rooms.

Pros: The staff were great - Aussie dude with long hair was one of the best hostel staff members I've met on my travels. Spending the extra few dollars a night to get out of the 20-person dorm (which has no AC or indeed any air circulation) is key - it's literally a couple of bucks and improves your stay hugely.

Cons: It does attract a certain type of clientele - you'll likely have people making noise at 2am. Don't stay in a large dorm if you want a relaxing night's sleep.

Pros: Location was good, reception/lounge was spacious and social, air con decent enough, no outside drinks allowed but drinks in bar aren't too expensive (which is good as you need to drink as so loud at night in the bedrooms)

Cons: Bedrooms were disappointing and very noisy the bar/club is so loud in the room even with ear plugs. Ceiling leaked (told by staff nothing can do but give towels where it is leaking), constantly bothered for ID outside, when someone walked past bed whole floor and bed shook, power was not working in the room for most of one day, the room seemed clean on the surface but not had proper clean in a while especially under the beds where I found cockroach, kitchen was the same with limited fridges, especially dirty in the stairwell down to the kitchen, TV room out of order, laundry was quite expensive. Disclaimer I am not big complainer normally but felt very disappointed especially after enjoying the Bunk in Surfers Paradise.

Pros: awesome place , friendly staff , great location , amazing poolside bar , perfect for a night out on the town , very close to main street , and a free breakfast . all in all great place , would stay here again when we come to Brisbane to see another show

Cons: few bathrooms on lvl 2, but our one needed more ventilation , the other ones were fine

Pros: What I liked the most was the staff, the entertainment, always something going on. Loads of information laid out across the hostel, but most of all, THE STAFF. A big thank you. I booked 2 nights then decided to stay another 2 - I ended up booking two different rooms and one of the lady staff members made it possible for me to stay in the same room and same bed so I didn’t have to move my stuff etc (unless I wanted too) so thanks a lot for that! It’s very homely and no questions go unanswered. And breakfast every morning from 7:30-9:30 am. Free EVERY MORNING. This place has so much more to offer. Could be writing all day!

Cons: Didn’t really dislike anything, rooms could have more air con (specially rooms with no windows) but hey, no point moaning about the little things. It’s Australia is going to be hot!!! Still slept comfortable just hot obviously. Maybe it’d be nice to have a light by the bunk bed - there looks like there used to be lights but not there anymore, but again. Just a little thing you don’t really need to worry about. Just in case if you want to improve but honestly, I’ll be recommending this hostel to all my friends and family who are coming to Brisbane and I will definitely be staying here again!!!

Pros: Clean and social hostel with a well priced bar.

Cons: Friendly staff, except for the blonde emo kid, he needs to find another job

Pros: Staff mostly lovely, good bar, nice rooms, amazing location, kitchen big, transport links great, very social, great activities, great en-suite, cheap drinks, fun reps for the nights, reception fun, space in rooms, lockers great. Highly recommend!! Really great for a solo traveller.

Cons: Security guards have a bad attitude, bed squeaked very badly so couldn’t sleep, shower was temperamental, AC didn’t always work. These weren’t a problem because the accommodation was fantastic.

Pros: Great place , awesome staff , good vibes , amazing pool side bar , live music , free breakfast , close to main street, great for a night out on the town

Cons: well there are a few bathrooms on lvl 2. but our one needed more vents ! having no window didnt help lol ... but the other ones were fine :)

Pros: I like the location of the hostel as it's around all of the bars. It's pretty social and the free beer every night is a good way to meet people.

Cons: We were advised on check in that we had booked a budget room, although on booking.com it just states single bed in 10 bed dorm. We were taken to a seperate part of the building into a room with no windows air conditioning or fan. When I asked about the air conditioning at reception I was advised that this had been broken for a while and that they dont advertise as having it, they wouldnt even provide a fan, although there was one behind reception.

Pros: The treehouse-like atmosphere was a nice experience. Quiet area!

Cons: The location isn’t quite central as I thought and the room was soooo hot.

Pros: Staff can not do enough to help you

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. The personal is always happy to assist you with everything

Pros: Chill vibe

Cons: Location, but shuttle rubning into cbd

Pros: Bedroom of 4 with a balcony and private bathroom for really cheap! Swimming pool really great and kitchen clean!

Pros: Really chill and great place to meet other backpackers.

Cons: Great Hostel would always come back

Pros: The hostel was fairly clean.

Cons: We were a little disappointed with our stay. We felt patronised having to pay a 10 dollar deposit each for a set of crockery and cutlery. The kitchen was very full and felt crowded. In the dining area as we tried to eat, there were people smoking weed right by the door (ironically next to a sign that said please don’t smoke within 4m of the building) and the receptionist walked past and chatted to them without saying anything. The noise in the evenings was very loud, with drunk people running up and down the corridors until late. It felt as though the hostel was run by young backpackers, and that nobody was really “in charge”. Not great for a non-partying couple.

Pros: The location Comfort of beds The restaurant and food located in hostel,good value for money and affordable The staff were friendlly Clean and tidy Would definately stay there again

Cons: The bathrooms not having sanitary disposable bins in bathroom Having backpackers making excessive noise after drinking outside our room at 3am after signs wsre posted asking to be mindful of other guests and not being able to find a staff member to help us I don't mind people having a good time but need to be respectful of others

Pros: Nice hostel, we had a private room and it was brilliant, comfy bed and plenty of space. Great location, only a short walk to the main streets etc.

Pros: The staff were super helpful, the property was also very clean.

Cons: It was extremely noisy! The bar is open till quite late and the doors slam all night very loudly. so if you want a good nights sleep best to book somewhere else. Also they lost my wine which I handed in on reception. However they did refund me for this.

Pros: It was a great place to stay for the free parking and clean room. The staff were friendly and the food from the cafe/restaurant on site was delicious!

Cons: Although you could walk everywhere (which we did), it’s a bit of a distance from some of the sights and main areas. Only 20 minutes walk from Southbank which was great but might want to consider somewhere else if you’re looking for less walking around the city.

Pros: You have everything what you need to have an amazing stay. They have their own kitchen, bar, activities. Everything is clean and the room where very nice. The air con is very helpful and the staff is so nice

Pros: Facilities, staff and location are great!

Cons: Breakfast is just the toast, its ok, but it's not really proper breakfast hence misleading advert. The huge minus was that the place was stinking of weed.

Pros: Staffs are friendly

Cons: Noisy

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.

Pros: The 6 bedroom is too small. The 4 bedroom is better. Also depends on the flatmates. My first room was a nightmare. Wanted to get out immediately but had no other options. The 4 bedroom was airy n bright so good.

Cons: The 6 bedroom is too cramp. All mattresses are too soft.

Pros: Nice clean and very friendly staff

Pros: Staff members are helpful

Cons: Air conditioner operation time was not 19:00 to 07:00 (next morning) as stated. It was switched off at 6 o'clock every morning.

Pros: Really good hostel, good layout, good food, good location.

Cons: Majority of the staff are really rude and appear to hate their jobs. Everytime you ask for something (ordering a drink or food at the bar) they seem to be annoyed at you as if you have just asked them to lick your shoes clean. Management need to have a serious word with the staff

Pros: Good location

Cons: Dirty

Pros: Clean room Big kitchen

Cons: Kitchen not clean at all, it smells weird Nothing to do in the commun area

Pros: Position close to Roma station

Cons: Sheets with hole

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Clean and convenient location. Near Queen Street mall and the Roma Station!

Pros: Great location. Everything is really close by which is really nice.

Cons: Really dirty, gross kitchen, gross bathroom and cockroach in the room. At night the bar below plays loud music so I couldn't sleep until they turn off the music.

Pros: All good

Cons: Like all the hostels that the bathroom is inside the room and the staff can’t clean it all the time, also this one was not too clean cause the guests messed it up...

Pros: Franzi was friendly and really helpful at check in. Unfortunately the room was really disgusting and stinky as you can’t open any window. :(
