• Greg (1/5): Disgusting - The receptionist was amazing totally the only thing good about this back Packers Place was disgusting dirty in fact filthy air con leaking onto bed no bed lights in dorm no ph charger in each bed in dorm I would never recommend this place.

• gregory o shea (4/5): - The location was fantastic, the staff were so friendly and nothing was a problem, there were very knowledgeable and happy to help. The beds were very confrotable, the rooms were very clean. The kitchen was way to small, for a backpacker that big , they really need a bigger kitchen or two. The kitchen was filthy, the communal area was filthy, the place is very outdated. Not enough storage space for your bags in the bedrooms. The AC was very load in two rooms I stayed in. The showers were disgusting,

• Ulli (5/5): Okay - The staff was nice It was pretty dirty.
• Wayne (10/5): I would without even thinking about it - stay there again - Very clean - good vibe - great location No complaints
• Tanya (1/5): Racist hostel - Location Racist discriminatory hostel Australian passport holders are not allowed! Website reads must have international passport which I read as a passport that you travel internationally with! Had no where to stay!! Never heard of Australians not being allowed anywhere to stay I. Their own country! I’m reporting this to the authorities that govern the industry
• Mary (10/5): -
• Auchabie (2/5): -
• Sebastian (9/5): Gutes preis Leistungs Verhältnis - Freundlicher Empfang, check in , familiäre Atmosphäre. Zwar überall Hinweis auf Verbote, aber due Auslegung war entspannt. Schließfach im Zimmer und in der Küche Ausschließlich Reisepass zum einchecken zugelassen 30$ Pfand für Bettwäsche und 1 Satz Geschirr. Küche zu klein, Kühlschrank zu klein und offensichtlich nicht gut in Schuss gehalten. Sauberkeit der Badezimmer, teilweise liegt Staub in den Ecken, der schon Monate dort lag. Zimmer sehr klein.

• Amestica (1/5): - Good location It’s not a place I would recommend staying at for several days. The bunk beds don’t have curtains for privacy, the bathrooms and showers aren’t clean, and there isn’t a comfortable common area. The only positive thing I can mention is that the two staff members I saw were friendly.
• Keira (1/5): Unclean and dirty - The property was in a good location and close to local amenities, shops restaurants etc. I found the hostel to be unclean particularly in the bedroom and shared bathroom areas. There was always bad odours around the hostel in every area. I appreciate this is a cheaper option for backpackers in the area, however, even at this price the cleanliness was unacceptable
• Asseiro Fernandes (1/5): Horrible - Rien Chambre sale, salle de bains avec de la moisissure, personnel à l’accueil qui disparaît pendant 1 heure on sait pas pourquoi, cuisine sale, trop peux de frigo.
• Estefany (4/5): Cheap but not that cheap - The best thing about this hostel is the location! The supermarket is just a block away, there are many bus stops nearby, and you can easily visit one of Brissy's most beautiful parks – Roma Street Parkland. Another plus is the Wi-Fi access, which works quite well. The hostel is in a deplorable state of hygiene... while the kitchen is very small, it is also very dirty, full of grease, and the sinks are overflowing with trash/there are drainage problems... Another negative point is the bathrooms and common areas; unfortunately, access is limited, there are cobwebs and mold... it's clear that there hasn't been a thorough cleaning in a long time... Please take this into consideration, because the health of the guests is important!
• Chin (3/5): -
• Jessica (1/5): Do not stay here - The staff were friendly and there was a cupboard to put shoes in The hostel was disgustingly dirty. Stained pillows, sticky kitchen floor, wet toilet paper stuck to the bathroom floor. Some of the showers had no door and when I stood in flip flops on the bath mat near the shower it was like standing on wet soil.

• Marie (5/5): - Super dreckig, Bäder wurde nur oberflächlich sauber gemacht. Duschen sind nicht abgelaufen, Klos waren teilweise verstopft. Küche war dreckig und unordentlich.
• Isaac (10/5): -
• Bradshaw (7/5): -
• Chris (10/5): would come back - clean, quite, friendly staff and chill outdoor area
• Hannes Ronny (6/5): Okay - Friendly Staff Bathrooms were clean When I booked it, it said three bunk beds but it were only one bunk bed and one normal bed. Furthermore the room was pretty small and we didn’t have sockets near our beds.
• Eva (5/5): -
• Bea (4/5): Had better stats - Good location, clean linen, ample community space. There was always hot water, soap and tissue in the bathrooms. There were signs everywhere to indicate what to do, and what not to do, management was not leaving it up to guesswork. Staff seemed overwhelmed, and irritable. With just one person on duty at the time access to assistance was very limited (check-in, check-out, information). The dining area was not sufficiently clean. The tables looked like they may have not been wiped this month. There was no awareness made that the kitchen was to be closed overnight, then one morning wasn't opened even at the time when it was by schedule supposed to, so I could not get to my food before leaving for a full-day trip.
• Emily (10/5): It was super comforting - I love the banana theme and all the plants The room lights were very bright. It would’ve been nice to have a lamp but otherwise can’t complain.
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Banu Zahar (10/5): Ça fait le taff - Propreté et cuisine Rien
• Isaac (10/5): Awesome:) - Staff are fantastic and so friendly Aircon/better fans in the socail outdoor area would be nice

• RION (7/5): -
• Chengzhe (5/5): -
• David (8/5): - Staff were exceptionally helpful, especially looking after my luggage and arranging for me to be able to pick it up so I didn't miss my flight. Everything was fine for the price but the dorms were a little crowded when full

• donna (8/5): Really welcoming, nice atmosphere - Special mention to the ladies on reception (never caught any of their names) for their bubbly personalities and for being super accommodating to our requests. Our air con stopped working and we were immediately moved to our own room. Some of the friendliest hostel staff ive ever met. The mats outside the shower, i suggest getting some sort of draining tray instead of a thick squishy mat, whish is super gross when its been used a few times
• Laura (5/5): -
• Senne (6/5): -
• Sofia (10/5): -
• Clément (3/5): - Manque de propreté, pas de ménage dans les parties communes (douches bouchées 2 jours sur 3) , beaucoup de bruit le soir près de l'entrée
• Paula (8/5): - Easy check-in. Great front desk staff. Layout to get to rooms and facilities was good. The rooms could do with individual lights for beds as constant overhead ceiling lights are not great when others come and going to room on an evening.
• Naaddii (6/5): -
• 日曜日よりの使者 (8/5): -
• Léa (8/5): je recommande, simple et efficace - l'emplacement pas assez de place en interieur pour manger etc
• nelly (4/5): -
• A B M Enamol (4/5): - Location Room, bath, toilet, bed, kitchen, Locker should have digital locking system. Dining and living space are fully open that are not comfortable. Fridge condition is very bad and not has enough space. Cooking pots, pan , utensils are so old and like a garbage and unhygienic. No pure drinking water facilities just a tap water.
• Sam (8/5): -
• Habil (8/5): Very good -
• Rayan (1/5): Dirty, unsafe, and zero real help from staff — showers barely work and my clothes were stolen. Avoid this place. - My clothes were stolen and when I went to the reception for help, they were nowhere to be found unless it was to give orders or act intrusively. There’s zero real support, no security, no accountability. It honestly felt more like a trap than a hostel. If you value your belongings, privacy, and basic respect, do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. A deeply disappointing experience. Not only were my clothes stolen without any support from reception which is more interested in giving orders than solving real issues but the hygiene standards are terrible. Showers barely work (when there’s hot water at all), and cleanliness is clearly not a priority. The management seems to cut corners by undertraining staff who are visibly unprepared for the job, resulting in poor service across the board. It honestly feels like nobody’s in charge. I would not recommend staying here not even for a night.

• Goulet (7/5): Not bad for a hostel - Liked the area Bathrooms were not so good wet and smelly, rooms was small and stuffy. Smelly.
• Millie (9/5): Superb - Loved the beds they were the comfiest we’ve had in 6 months! The showers were so good too Bit frustrating about the kitchen being closed at 10:30pm
• Renee (10/5): Stay here, you'll love it! - Location is fantastic, very easy to use public transport close by and Suncorp Stadium/Caxton Street is just around the corner. There is limited parking out front. The staff here are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Facilities are great, clean bathrooms. The beds are comfortable and the rooms have great air conditioning, perfect for when you return from a hot day exploring Brisbane. The price is great value for money.
• Mills (10/5): Exceptional -

• María (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ulberg (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, cosy, affordable and has everything you need The only negative thing I could say is the limited bathrooms and having to wait sometimes to use the shower or toilet, but even then it wasn't that long a wait so still 5 stars

• Choutapalli (1/5): Bad -
• Filippo (7/5): Good -
• Adam (1/5): Avoid - Room was pretty good I didn't receive my full deposit back because there was cutlery missing from my locker. I did not remove any cutlery from the locker and the cameras would verify this if they could check. It wasn't much money but it was my money and I've been stolen from. Benjamin (staff) was saying that he doesn't understand why I'd be so whiney over such a small amount. I'm whiney about it because it's my money! Who wouldn't be whiney after getting robbed?!?
• Tommy (6/5): Pleasant - Good beds, nice staff Kitchen too small, only 2 fridges and no rooms
• Darryl (8/5): Would recommend forming stay travellers - Enjoyed the tv room. Kitchen was so small.
