Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Kitchen wasn’t very clean but what do you expect from a hostel I guess! We left our bags in the luggage room and upon Collection it was apparent at least one case had been opened, clothes were rearranged and there was some luggage labels within the case, when I spoke to reception they said they didn’t know how it had happened but offered no apology or explanation. It’s not the end of the world, as far as we could tell Nothing was missing and it didn’t stop us booking another night but it’s something to be mindful Of as the luggage room doesn’t appear to have cameras.

This place is massive yet they manage to cater to everyone without feeling too crowded. Point proven by the excellent kitchen, which always had people using it, yet was never too difficult to find a space. The view from the roof is glorious. It'll be perfect for you if you like the younger party crowd.
The wifi had connectivity issues in my room. The general vibe was fun but also a little too party for me, and my sleep was disrupted many nights. Without giving away too much information, this hostel gets super crazy after hours, I saw some things I dare not repeat. There are no lockers in the rooms which is ridiculous. It's impossible to feel like your possessions are safe, and it isn't much to ask that hostels dedicate a tiny bit of money to our peace of mind.

Fantastic location, small coffee shop on site was a huge perk. Staff were really wonderful and accommodating. Showers were warm and had good pressure. Outdoor area is spacious and relaxing. Events on in the evenings too!
The kitchen was a bit chaotic. Considering the amount of people in the hostel, (there’s about 60 rooms or something similar!) there was enough storage for everyone but meal times could be very busy. Staff did their best to keep the area clean and tidy. There was also small areas of mould in the downstairs showers.

An awesome wee backpackers, very close to Train and Bus station and a 10 minute walk to South Bank and the city. With spectacular views over the city and south bank Has everything you need, a little tired but very comfortable. Staff were amazing. We were upgraded to a private room with private bathroom... it was really nice to have a personal space There were a lot of stairs and not everything was easy to find but that gives it the quaintness for privacy in a shared space
Shared kitchen was often dirty, and hard to find clean cutlery or dishes There was an awful smell coming from bathroom drain Beds were comfortable but the double bed made an awful noise everytime you rolled over Some of the guests were very noisey and disrespectful of the rules

Friendly staff, great rooftop with amazing view over the city, and quite a good location (15 min walk from the bus station, connected with busses from or to city centre, and close to the Southbank). Enough space in the room and my bed was comfy.
The facilities in general look horrible, very old school. The bathrooms are not practical as there is no space to put your things. The sinks are very small and the shower rooms have one hanger. Also I felt that hostel was not very social. It was hard to meet people as there were no events or gatherings.

Great location, with excellent views and levels to enjoy your food, drinks, and general good vibes. The staff were so friendly and always helpful. I needed good wifi and a quiet spot to work, and miraculously found it in the common room during the day. It really came across as a social and fun place. Highly recommend. I was able to wash my clothes with ease in the laundry and didn't need to buy my own washing powder, as the hostel had $1 powder - so handy!
The kitchen was a bit chaotic. The pigeon holes for food storage and fridge always seemed too full to place your own items in there. The bathroom design near my room was pretty poor with doors opening unto one another, very hard to have a shower and not get clothes wet due to lack of space. Would be nice to have a timber shower step to stop the water. The rooms would benefit from having lockers.

Great outdoor spaces! Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Our main bathroom was mixed (one stall for females only). Pricing is very fair too and the staff were nice. Location is very good, about a 10 minute walk from Queen Street Mall. There's a Coles and Pharmacy just across the road.
Rooms got a little hot over night so we had to leave the windows open. Downside was that it let in all the noise from the hostel, but it was pretty quiet after 11pm.

Wow I only booked this hostel because the rate was ok. I wasn't expecting much as it doesn't look that good from outside. I don't know if I got luck with the dorm they put me in but it's was really nice, decent space for you luggage and nice and well cleaned. Staff in Reception were good and there are lots of places in the hostel to go hang out in.
The Kitchen is not that nice but there are loads of ppl staying. Air conditioners in the rooms need to be cleaned professionally as they have a funky smell, probably have mould in them but potentially unhealthy.

My partner and I booked a private room to go see a Woman’s World Cup match. The best location, just a couple blocks from the Roma st train station and the Suncorp stadium is just around the corner. Checkin was quick and the staff is very friendly, we pay a $10 deposit for the key that they returned at checkout. We stayed at room 53, quite large, with a comfy bed, tv, mini fridge, private toilet and clean towels. No breakfast included but we were able to buy there a delicious coffee with a smiley fellow that made our day. The hostel atmosphere is very cool, with nice terrace and useful facilities. If you mind noise from people having fun, this is not the place for you. For us it was great.

I love the shared open areas of the hostel. It's the most comfortable hostel to make friends that I've ever seen so far. There's a good combination of parties on the weekends and chilling during the day. Sunsets on the rooftop are the best. And the new cinema room is pretty cool. It's my only home in Brisbane.
The rooms are very poorly equipped. Not enough power ports nor lockers, and beds are not very comfortable.
