So I arrived at this hostel and thought the locate was abit odd. Anyway the locate ended up being ok. The hostel itself wasn't very good. There was one nice member of staff. The others were vile. There was a guy who I asked to pick me up as I was late, he said 'yes I have the phone on... More

We stayed in basic double room. We found it to be in a good location with friendly staff. It is not luxurious but it is a lot quieter than staying in Fortitude Valley. The minibus running to Roma Street via the State Library every hour is handy. You are in easy walking distance to Queen Street Mall.

Stayed here for a couple of nights and had no problems at all, the staff are really friendly, the locks on the doors actually work and there is a free shuttle bus every hour that takes you into town so of you don't feel like walking then its great! Location was good though, only a 15 minutes walk from south... More

I booked this hotel as I thought the previous 2 I booked in Australia did not give me a real feel of the back packing experience ( I was more like flash packing with suitcases) The hotel had all types of people and all friendly and getting along with each other. The communal areas where always bustling and everyone respected... More

Nice place to stay but huge, so a lot of people. The people that live there long term are very load and start drinking quite early and don't really stop. They also do this right outside all the bedrooms, so if your a light sleeper or want somewhere to relax its not a great place to do it. The staff... More

I have been there for a couple of weeks and it's absolutely lovely! You can really feel home, good price, useful free bus service to the city, comfortable living room, cute cats and friendly and helpful staff. I could actually live there :)

Arrive for an overnight stay here on route through Queensland. We were offered 2 beds in 2 separate rooms, not problem there, but the one room sleeping 8, were so damp and smelly I was glad to pay $15 to sleep in my car in the parking lot, instead of paying $25 for the shared room. Staff are so unhelpful,... More

Stayed there on a temporary basis as I was looking for accommodation in Brisbane. I thought it would be a cheap solution compared to a hotel. All things considered, it wasn't that cheap. Because though the bed in the dorm costs little, you have to pay for all other things like food and the internet (a must these days). Now,... More

The location is not all that great. It's close to the west end, which is a nice area, but if you need to catch a train it's a fair walk to the closest station (involving some uphill walking). They have a bus that leaves every hour but it doesn't take you into the city. It can still be somewhat convenient... More

I had a reservation for 5 day and I left the place after the first. I undestand that is a cheap hostal and is also very busy but that is not excuse for the lack of cleaning. Bathrooms are inside the dorms which means they are always unattended. You can definitely find a better place in brisbane for the same... More
