I'm a light sleeper but slept really well here - Comfortable bed and quiet room. I really appreciated the clean and modern bathroom which was flush with light. To change air con fan-speed and temp, you will need to ask reception to attend your room and use their universal remote, but this was no problem for them and they seemed very happy to assist.

The bed was horribly hard and uncomfortable, the shower was literally a trickle of lukewarm water-no hot water and no pressure, the room and bathroom was quite clean. The entry steps had water leaking underneath them/at the bottom of them and is a slip hazard. For the price I was very disappointed

First night I was provided with my room number and key - it was dirty, full of rubbish and stank of weed smoke. I slept on a plastic covered mattress with no sheets, only a doona with no cover. The next morning I was informed by a staff member that it was mistakenly given a key to a 'Work for board' room and they had a clean room for me. It was an improvement, at least it had clean sheets, but the bathroom was very dirty and I tried to avoid spending any time in the place.

Convenient location as close by train station and night life area. Nice to be connected to and have specials with the bar/restaurant next door. Friendly staff. No issues with checking in or check out. We were two women traveling abs felt safe the whole time, no concerns.

Rooms require constant cleaning. There should be a obligation for tenants to shower at least one per week. As well people being shameless to having loud sexual relations even when all the roomates were in rest time at 2 am. For some reason not having access to the kitchen in night hours having the excuse to not letting you go inside a club that shares common areas with the hotel. So you can't drink a glass of water after 10 pm because they're thinking you're trying to smuggle into the club. No even have any decent game area or pool .

Did well what it said on the packet
We stayed in a twin room which was a tiny room with bunk beds, though it met our needs and we were very pleased to find the en-suite is right next door and shared with one other room. The bar downstairs, Birdees, was having an open mic night (Tues) so it was really lucky to be staying there and meeting some of the incredible local talent hosting (Caillin Malley) and they did a great job of getting the guests involved! I even got a gig out of it... We had a great time, scouting a Thai restaurant across the road (as recommended by the lady who checked us in) and breakfast nearby. Happy campers 🙏 Pepper Jane

I stayed in a room of 20 beds. It was health hazard. No air conditioning and way too hot. Very dark and dirty. No light at the bed. The attitudes of staffs were not well trained. I tried to sleep till 1:30am and never be able to coz of heat, I had to move to a couch in the lobby with air conditioning. Then one of the staff complained me that I didn’t sleep in a bed with health hazard. The worst back packer experience ever.

what a fun place to stay even for us geezers, very helpful staff, good storage facilities and lockers, and can't beat the free beer every evening at 8pm, which got the party rolling, center of town location is good too. we got a room en suite, what a cool refuge on a hot day.

Taking into consideration the fact this was a backpackers, my expectations were relatively low. We booked last minute and the price of parking (compared to other accommodation) in Brisbane was a sell point (as it was only $12). We arrived an hour prior to check in and staff were able to accommodate us straight away, which was appreciated. However, the parking was at full capacity so we ended up having to venture 10 minutes around the block just to get to the public carpark 20m from the hotel. I was also told parking would be subsided, which it was, however we ended up having to pay $22 anyway. All up, we spent $127 on a private room for the night (+ parking). The location and overall atmosphere of Bunk was great, but the quality of the room was not worth the price.
