Very clean. Great airflow. Staff are super friendly. ##### Michele Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rigby Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed in a private triple room, room was fine, quite spacious! It was tidy and clean, though the bathroom kind of reminded me of a public bathroom (it was private though!). Only stayed one night and didn't use the kitchen so cannot comment on that, though it looked quite packed when we went in to grab some water. There were a lot of people staying here so it looks to be a social place but luckily it wasn't too loud around the rooms. The only thing was that it smelled a little bit of smoke around the property despite the no smoking signs. Additionally, the wifi had trouble reaching our room. Area seemed decent; It was a 15-20 minute walk to the river, lagoon area, and there were lots of places to eat around. ##### Rigby Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Nov 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice staff and good facilities on the hostel! ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### A Jun 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice Place to Stay and visit Brisbane ##### A Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay, welcoming staff, clean and comfortable.

Little bit too much rules and especially at evening places to be for example i do work in europe time so if phone meeting came was hard to find to place where i can be. ##### Arto Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Owen Feb 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place.

Bathroom need a little table to put our staff, and there are not enough toilets. Free coffee and the all day. The establishment has a good view and are to chill.

But its floor makes a lot of noise when someone walks by. And there's always someone walking by even at 2pm. So it's almost impossible to sleep. ##### Yingyin Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ron Jan 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities . ##### Ron Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malcolm Dec 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff ##### Malcolm Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the place is nicely located, minutes walk from Westend restaurants and shops. The private room was very cleaned though had a bar fridge in the room that made a rattling soon all night! also, the other residents were very loud at night till 1 am, they appeared drunk though alcohol is not supposed to be allowed on-premises. so beware who else is staying there at the time, if you want a restful night. I needed an early night as had an early start but did not get much sleep due to the fridge, other residents as well as a loud drilling sound around midnight!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### H, Japan Nov 10, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 正直滞在していてあまり面白くなかった。ルームメイトは長期滞在しているのか、部屋はあまりにも汚すぎた。ウェルカムな感じもしなかった。もっといいホステルはほかにたくさんある。 ##### H Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Apr 27, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Two-way Bargain: you get what you pay for 2/5 Star rating. Great location. Laid back style receptionist. Car park is always full however there is sufficient space along the side road. Although the rooms are dated, windows and floor boards squeak and traffic noise tend to flow in, othee guests are quiet and tidy. The bunk beds especially the top ones really are unstable/squeaks/ too small to climb up and down. Sleeping in can be a challenge with daily house keeping entering the room and vacuuming (which is nice to have a free service). Entry up the staircase, there's a strong repulsive smell. Quick and Easy booking/check out service. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great atmosphere, Great people Stayed one night, loved it, would definately return another time. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter, Christchurch Sep 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient for my visit to Brisbane Watch staff carefully in how they dealt with customers, I was most impressed, management should really complientthe staff, especially Sarah ##### Peter ### 4/10 Poor #### Becky, Wales Aug 2, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very loud until 5am, dirty Worst hostel ever. Rooms smell and are dingy. 2 bathrooms to whole hostel and one door was always broke and wouldn't close. Didn't get any sleep due to other guest's shouting and laughing until 5am. Apparently there is a night manager who is supposed to stop the noise but didn't see the night manager or hear anyone putting a stop to rude people. If you are looking for a place to be awake for your whole time there choose this place otherwise give it a miss. ##### Becky ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller May 1, 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### deludente stanza con lenzuola macchiate e a volte schiamazzi e rumori anche notturni nonostante i cartelli lo proibissero. nessun ascensore ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 16, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Bed a bit sagy, TV didn't work, a little noisy at night, but besides that very good ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### jodie, Toowoomba Mar 10, 2015 #### Nice place There wasn't much parking space rooms were really hot other it was fine as we had a roof over our heads the shuttle bus was great and staff were nice and supportive ##### jodie ### 8/10 Good #### Dan, Taiwan Feb 16, 2015 Liked: Staff & service #### Nice, simple, cheap hostel with a nice vibe. This place is a hostel in every sense of the word. Lots of backpackers, with decent facilities for cooking(though it can be a bit crowded). The staff were great. The room was nothing special, quite spase, but definitely what I paid for. The staff have a great shuttle service to the metro, as well as Roma Street Bus Terminal that is free as well. ##### Dan ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Goldsborough Place Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Goldsborough-Place-Apartments.h7096963.Hotel-Information) > > [Gold Coast Airport Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Gold-Coast-Airport-Motel.h7065321.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Surfers Paradise Hotel & Residences](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Hilton-Surfers-Paradise-Hotel-And-Residences.h4238660.Hotel-Information) > > [S&P Apartments - Tank St](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Brisbane-City-Apartments.h22732534.Hotel-Information) > > [Smart Motel Bert Hinkler](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundaberg-Hotels-Smart-Motel-Bert-Hinkler.h1156117.Hotel-Information) > > [Rambla @ Perry House](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Perry-House.h90205385.Hotel-Information) > > [View Brisbane](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-View-Brisbane.h921255.Hotel-Information) > > [Roydon Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairns-Hotels-Roydon-Beachfront-Apartments.h2236859.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Brisbane-Holiday-Village.h4536069.Hotel-Information) > > [Stylish Studio on High Level-Close to Brisbane CBD](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Stylish-Studio-On-High-Level-Close-To-Brisbane-CBD.h103069423.Hotel-Information) > > [Oscar Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundaberg-Hotels-Oscar-Motel.h9627209.Hotel-Information) > > [Shelly Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hervey-Bay-Hotels-Shelly-Bay-Resort.h4136468.Hotel-Information) > > [Sovereign Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sovereign-Gold-Coast.h460498.Hotel-Information) > > [Azzura Greens Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Azzura-Greens-Resort.h1831206.Hotel-Information) > > [Santana Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Santana-Resort.h3774588.Hotel-Information) > > [Adina Apartment Hotel Brisbane](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-Brisbane.h20372234.Hotel-Information) > > [Joanne Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Joanne-Apartments.h9720912.Hotel-Information) > > [3BR, 2BA Unit with Pool, Parking & BBQ in Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Stunning-Unit-Hope-Island-Resort.h113370502.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Sands Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Mackay-Hotels-Direct-Hotels-Pacific-Sands.h10424813.Hotel-Information) > > [Arena Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arena-Apartments.h46301346.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceans Mooloolaba](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Oceans-Mooloolaba.h2650623.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlas Apartments by CLLIX ](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Atlas.h27827883.Hotel-Information) > > [Big4 Point Vernon Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hervey-Bay-Hotels-Big4-Point-Vernon-Holiday-Park.h22771743.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sanctuary Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairns-Hotels-The-Sanctuary-Retreat.h21519930.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantra Terrace Brisbane](https://www.expedia.ca/Brisbane-Hotels-Mantra-Terrace-Hotel.h2554658.Hotel-Information) > > [Caloundra Waterfront Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Caloundra-Waterfront-Holiday-Park.h9629787.Hotel-Information) > > [Breakers North Absolute Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Breakers-North-Absolute-Beach.h3700497.Hotel-Information) > > [Seahaven Noosa Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Noosa-Heads-Hotels-Seahaven-Noosa.h35237560.Hotel-Information) > > [Trinity Beach Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cairns-Hotels-Trinity-Beach-Pacific.h574771.Hotel-Information)
