Brisbane hostels

Pros: Clean, good value for money.

Cons: The room was a bit too small for a 4 bed room, ok for one night but hard for 4 people to move around in. Also the single pillow was really flat and therefore uncomfortable.

Pros: clean

Cons: location

Pros: Rooftop is great. Easy to meet new ppl. Very close to city centre.

Cons: A little rundown say. Rooms were quite small.

Pros: One of the nicest hostels I have stayed in on my trip down the east coast. Hostel is huge. It has a big kitchen area and a nice rooftop pool. Close to a large coles and train station. Room was simple but clean. Not far from city centre at all.

Pros: Easy to access and many bathrooms

Cons: There's a fan in the room which is not clean.

Pros: The accommodation was in a good location - short walk into South Bank of Brisbane. The room was big, cool enough and comfy bed. The accommodation was really clean.

Cons: Nothing bad. Would be good to meet the manager. Had to text them for hairdriers etc at a certain time which just didn't work for me.

Pros: Hostel was very central and quiet!

Cons: Nothing, however host didn't really provide us with much info on arrival however was accommodate us checking in earlier for a small fee.

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...

Pros: I loved the room, the bed was so comfortable and the room was so spacious.. and pink! The fridge in the room was handy, the fan was definitely needed. The bathrooms (3 total) were nice to use and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed (we just had to use it before 9.30, not to disturb other guests). It was a quick walk down to the city, South Bank and all of its lovely walks, water etc

Cons: I can't really think of anything I didn't like.. except the additional wifi which dropped out often, but we were warned that might happen (and they were in the process of fixing that problem).

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: Great staff!

Cons: Bedding was a bit dusty as was the room

Pros: Location was really Good.

Cons: No airco in a room with twenty people... we couldn’t open the Windows. It was so hot.

Pros: Room, Bed and Location all good

Cons: None

Pros: Didn't eat breakfast due to other plans. Everything was great. Staff very friendly. Good stuff, will be recommending to family & friends.

Cons: I liked everything

Pros: I like the friendly staff and it’s always clean. Also I like the Facility!

Cons: Not too many space in the kitchen to store food in the fridge

Pros: The bunk beds are separated by little walls for privacy, each bed comes with a socket on the wall and there are plenty of lockers in the Dorm. There are even lockers in the hallway to use for the day when you check out so you can enjoy the city without having to worry about your bag /valuables - really nice idea! There's a good atmosphere at the bar, live music and a free drink every night! Free breakfast of cereal /toast /tea and coffee. There is also a free shuttle bus to/from the bus station which is amazing! Really friendly/helpful staff. This was my second stay and I already have another booked - now my go to hostel when I go to Brisbane - thanks guys!

Cons: The air con doesn't work in one of the 20 bed dorms and the windows don't open (I guess for safety reasons) so it was very hot and sweaty in there!

Pros: Close to clubs and first room with ensuite was great

Cons: Paid $75 for a room earlier in the room that was great but then paid $10 more for a room with no aircon, no ensuite and only one power point so had to choose between plugging in the fan or charging my phone.

Pros: Very friendly reception, provided transport to sights and walking distance to food and public transport facilities

Pros: Location, staff

Cons: Lack of male toilets, kitchen is messy, no tea towels

Pros: It’s located in a good and really quite suburb and the showers are good

Cons: In the kitchen there aren’t any plates or cutlery

Pros: The staff tries to keep it clean. They care about complaints and are very friendly. That is true for the folks who live there as well.

Cons: Toilets and showers aren't clean, but it has mainly to do with the attracted audience which is mostly young backpackers who are probably the first time away from home. This also leads to some antisocial behaviour like smoking where it is prohibited and damages in common areas and noise.

Cons: No security railing in bunk bed, cuttlery and plates are charged

Pros: I needed a place to stay and somewheretostay backpackers provided me just that. The noise is acceptable.

Cons: Lights in the room was too bright. Maybe install a light that has low brightness which can be turned on instead of the main very bright light. Also maybe setup so light in the bathroom can be turned on without turning on the exhaust fan. Just a thought but I understand why the current setup.

Pros: Really good location. View from balcony was amazing.

Cons: Weird Roommates. I saw my roommate having relationship on the bed at the morning. and other guests are never respect policies in backpackers. They are smoking everywhere except room. Smoking on the grass. even there's a warning sign. And I floors are so slippery.

Pros: Rooftop, swimming pool, bar, clean bathroom

Cons: People are really dirty they leave rubbish everywhere

Pros: How quite the bedroom was compared to the outdoor noise.

Cons: I asked for another tower and it had blood stains in it.

Pros: It’s ideal for young travellers who don’t mind noise. Staff were really friendly. Showed and toilets were okay- just what you would expect in a hostel. Close to the train station and not a bad walk into town.

Cons: Cockroaches and bed was uncomfortable. And it was so so so so noisy. Good thing there was a bar on the top floor for a drink or 2 or we probably wouldn’t have slept.

Cons: There were no sound rules in the property like other hostels and guests were very loud after 1am in the garden area and communal bathrooms

Pros: Good place, Loud but tidy. Close to suncorp stadium. Close to the city. Got one really rude staff member, but the rest were excellent. Close to the train station. Good value for money.

Cons: Just one really rude female staff member. Rest were excellent. Could have been told about the free breakfasts that I never got. was sposed to get a cleaner to check room to be cleaned every day but only done once in the 6 days i was there.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: First night my room were facing inwards and there is a hella loud vent or aircon or something. I couldn't seep all night. I changed my room, facing the street which wasn't much better on the weekend as the bars are blasting their music and people yelling. Furthermore, it was not clean at all.. carpets on the floors were filthy and the bathroom wasn't clean as well.

Cons: The beds were aweful, very noisy, very dirty bathroom

Pros: Nice location, very close to Central station, friendly staff.

Cons: Dirty rooms and facilities. No place in fridge to store food - too many people.

Cons: There is some music every night from 9pm to 3am. Your have to put earplug on nd even with that I couldn’t sleep.

Pros: Staff were helpful.

Cons: Security was very poor and because of the lack of surveillance items we’re stolen. The outlets for charging did not generat any power and could not be used.

Pros: Location and comfortable beds.

Cons: The kitchen has almost no cutlery at all. When I asked about where the spoons and forks where they just said ‘yeah it keeps disappearing so we don’t know either’. I have stayed in this hostel for almost 2 weeks so they never thought about maybe buying some extra cutlery.. also the couches in the tv room and chill area were full of small insects. Don’t know what they were but I saw them crawling on different couches and when I shined my light in between the couches there was a whole nest of them. I told the guy at reception and he said he would let people know, a week later they were still there. So there really wasn’t a place to chill left. Also the bathroom was not clean at all. Everyday there was quite a big pool of water on the floor leaking from the toilets and showers with hairs in it.

Pros: The location is really close to central station.

Cons: The night club underground is really noisy and people were loudly. I can’t get any good sleep. The stuff was rude and do not try to provide service. Do not expect much if you choose to stay here. it was really just a place to put your luggage.

Pros: The rooftop, 207 is a big room with air con

Cons: Poor wifi on my phone if I wasn’t at the ground floor, some rooms don’t have air con, the kitchen is stinky but it’s worth your money
