Guest Reviews
- Dana (9/5): Easy and close to the city. - Check in was easy and all linen was provided. The room was simple, clean and airy. The location is great, with excellent views towards Brisbane CBD. Having the linen provided on the bed on arrival would have made things easier. On the Friday evening it was noisy and a party arrived back from clubbing at 3am and set up camp to continue the party for up to an hour. It would have been great if staff could have put a stop to that.
- Subotic (10/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Gamze (9/5): -
- Florian (4/5): Déçu - L'emplacement est bien Si vous ne fumez pas de drogue fuyez cette endroit, très peu de zone non fumeur et quand il y'a le personnel vous vire dans les zones fumeurs
- Emilie (10/5): Superbe auberge - J’ai adoré cette auberge. L’ambiance, les espaces ouvertes permettent de rencontrer pleins de personnes. Le gros suppléments c’est la piscine. J’étais dans une chambre que pour filles qui étaient très belles (comparé aux chambres mixtes). Rien.
- Mandy (7/5): Suitable my stay for the night, lovely staff very helpful - Great staff, friendly atmosphere, Australia residents dont need a pass port to stay, no age limit to stay, im over 60 Very hard to find walking with Google maps, reception did not know closest train st when I rang when lost, its hard to get luggage up the hill, also no lifts to get luggage upstairs

- hanneke (6/5): Leuk voor jongeren die langer blijven - In het hostel verbleven alleen jongeren die bv van daar uit werken als bezorgers. Super dat ze dat doen met keihard werken rond komen. Ook meestal heel vriendelijk. Zelf ben ik 50+ en dan mistte ik mn leeftijdgenoten. Ik had een 2 pers kamer super lux in vergelijking tot de slaapzalen. Maar prijs kwaliteit verhouding tot een hotel was ver te zoeken. Er was niet veel ( supermarktje, koffietentje, bus) in de omgeving.

- Samuel Hendrik (7/5): Saubere Bäder, schöner Blick, nettes Personal - - Der Pool
- Die Terrasse mit Ausblick - Pfannen waren zu Stoßzeiten alle dreckig (keiner hat seine Sauber gemacht)
- corinna (10/5): - great!
- Hugh (1/5): - No australians allowed. They dont tell u until u turn up
- Oliver (2/5): Terrible - Alright location Would not recommend, no aircon in the room, uncomfortable bed, weird mix of people staying up late making noise, smokers everywhere, stank of weed all the time.
To top it off took almost a month for the deposit to be returned and was only returned after being chased up over email and as we paid with a foreign card at the desk they took of a large transaction fee.
Done a lot of travelling, comfortably the worst place we’ve stayed
- Mr (7/5): -
- Siyun (7/5): - clean room, especially bathroom in the room was wide enough and so clean. bunker bed was so shaky whenever I move
- Bell (10/5): A very acceptable solution for accommodation. - The single room was of a standard, which was very acceptable. It was clean and devoid of serious faults. I strongly prefer being alone in a room. I am moving to Brisbane in a few months to locate near the North Brisbane Hospital. I will then need accommodation for about one week. There were no features, which were not acceptable. I prepared two meals with the contents of the free box. After considerable research, I will be able to design a suitable strategy for my move to Brisbane.

- Cheri (10/5): Whether you're staying a few nights or longer, Somewhere to Stay has everything you need and more! - My daughter and I stayed here 4yrs ago and came back as we loved it so much. No only are the staff amazing, the hostel is close to the main street for shops, eating and a few trendy bars.
- Lilli Marie-Luise (3/5): Nicht buchen als junge, alleinreisende Frau - Nettes Zimmer, Küche war okay und toller Pool, den man aber nicht benutzen konnte ohne sich unwohl zu fühlen. Die Leute die da waren. Ich würde da niemals nochmal als Solotravelerin hingehen. 85% ältere Männer, die einen wie Fleisch behandeln…
- TB (8/5): -
- Sharron (10/5): Would definitely recommend - Communal areas and rooms cleaned daily.
Staff were great and especially Zak who made me feel welcome and comfortable even though I was an old person No air conditioning
- Meg (2/5): Would not recommend - Nice outside area to relax by the pool
Also the staff was very friendly and gave us some useful tips! Unfortunately the bathrooms were absolutely filthy
Kitchen was also not super clean and there was absolutely no space in the fridge to store things
Beds were really uncomfortable
- karine (8/5): - L'accueil et l'efficacité du personnel, chambre en dortoir de 4 personnes confortable et propre ainsi que les sanitaires. Un peu bruyant
- Margaret (9/5): -
- Paige (8/5): - Good for a short stay, friendly staff, lots of activities for bag packers to socialise in Private room was very minimal and not the comfiest but fine for a short stay!
- Tess (8/5): -
- MORGANE (6/5): It did the job, but I wouldn’t recommend it. - The hostel is located near of South Brisbane (15 minutes by feet) and you have next to it also some restaurants, cafes and a supermarket. There was also a swimming pool after a long day and Wifi was free and worked well. The noises after midnight and the smell of Weed every day
- Amber (5/5): -
- lAFRENAIS (10/5): Amazing place with an awesome vibe. Very clean and well maintained with a view to die for. 🤩 - Amazing central location. Easy to access everything you needed for your stay, from restaurants to bottle shops and grocery stores. Easy to access train and Ubers to explore Brisbane. Thoroughly enjoyed everything
- Sophia (8/5): -
- Ruoyang (8/5): -
- Ylona Camélia (9/5): -
- Magnus (8/5): - Nice staff that are very visible with cleaning. Always clean kitchen in the morning and at night depending on the other guests. A bit far from the city on foot and our windows couldn’t close.
- Eva (8/5): -
- Emily (6/5): -
- Salem (8/5): -
- Dana (8/5): An easy stay with an awesome view and great location. - It was easy to check in, staff were friendly, the facilities good for a backpackers, the beds reasonably comfortable. Fans were in the room to keep the humidity to a minimum. Generally a good stay overall.
- Méziane (10/5): - Très bien
- Marthinus (7/5): -
- Niamh (8/5): Fab time, would definitely come back, great vibes. - Great location, good social areas, the activities were great, and the people were fab. Cadbury was very cute but not that receptive to love, as is her right. The beds are fairly uncomfortable, especially on a top bunk. Also there’s no oven in the kitchen.
- Teisseire (6/5): Pas agréable à cause des odeurs - Piscine, chambre avec rideau, salle de bain dans la chambre. L’odeur de weed toute la journée
- Nicolas (10/5): - L'accueil et l'endroit au top La montée à faire a pied pour y arriver 😅
- maxime (8/5): -
- Nicolas (8/5): Très convivial sans être trop festif - Lieu très convivial où les rencontres se font très facilement comparé à d'autres auberges (pour mon expérience). Assez festif mais pas trop, comme il faut. Le personnel est très agréable et à l'écoute, les équipements convenables et propres.
Je recommande ! Rien de particulier.

- Punyasree (10/5): -
- Claire (8/5): Amazing. :D - Beds were great and room was spacious - mini fridge was amazingly helpful. only stairs and the hill everyday was kinda awful.
- Emyr (8/5): Very good all in all - Very helpful staff and meeting other gest, walking distance from the city. Room too dark
- Sugahara (9/5): また泊まりたいです。 - スタッフの方が全員親切で、日本語を少し話せる方がいたので安心しました。7月に泊まり、少し寒かったのですがフロントに行ったらブランケットを借りることができました。ドライヤーや食器もフロントで借りれました。ランドリールームも洗濯機、乾燥機たくさんありますが、宿泊者が多く使いたい時に使えませんでした。クレジットカードをタッチするとコインが出てくるので、現金を持つ必要ないし、両替もする必要なく良かったです。フリースペース、キッチンには他の宿泊者がたくさんいて、色んな人と話せてすごい楽しかったです。 部屋は、少しトイレの匂いが気になりました。
- Maud (6/5): Suffisant pour une nuit ou deux - Le personnel est très agréable, le checkin est ouvert tard. Petite épicerie à la réception. Les lits ne sont pas confortables, il n’y a que 4 douches pour une cinquantaine de personnes, rien pour poser ses affaires dans les douches
Pas de couette mais juste un plaid. Il faut faire son lit même quand on arrive tard donc potentiellement on réveille les autres personnes.
- Facundo (8/5): - Felt like a good environment where I would like to stay for more days The kitchen was a bit small and not that clean
- Julie (6/5): - Extrêmement bruyant
