Brisbane Quarters

Loved my stay at Brisbane Quarters! Super clean, friendly staff and great facilities. The location is convenient, just keep in mind it’s an uphill walk from Central Station. The pod beds are great for privacy. It would be even better if the bedside cabinet had a lock, but lockers are available in the basement if you bring a padlock. I’d definitely come back!

I had a really good time in this hostel, staff are all friendly, has a really good gym area, kitchen is a decent size but can get overcrowded around 6pm but other than that it’s great and has everything you need, rooms are good size and very clean. My only issue is something they can’t control which was that the majority of the people there were French and all had their big groups and don’t really bother with you when you try to talk to them as they’ve already got their group so made it quite hard to try and meet people/ make friends if you’re a solo traveller. Other than that lovely place

This was the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was spotless and modern, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The breakfast was amazing – they had every kind of milk alternative you could think of. You could even borrow things like a hairdryer, straightener, and more, which was a great extra touch. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I was a weary traveler between lodgings when I came across this establishment. It was my first "hostel" experience, but it wasn't. Because I was concerned with my luggage (which was considerable to me), I booked a private room. So far, so good. I did not think there'd be a locked luggage room, the staff was very friendly. I thought it had a communal atmosphere which is a foreign concept, I had to quickly dash off to YouTube to search hostel culture. Anyway, my room had to pain points of improvement, if we can call them that. My shower water took at least 15 minutes of heating up and even then it'd go in waves. I know this because I was watching YouTube videos while my water was running. Secondly, and this is very preferential, there wasn't a desk in my room. The washing machine was Godsend, and if I knew how to cook I'd be more excited for the kitchenette, but what I really longed for was a desk to sit down and blog or write letters or something. To be fair there was plenty of communal space downstairs, but for a private room I would have exchanged one of my two televisions for a desk. Overall, it was a good experience and knowing what I know now will probably not get the private room, but get down in the open bay berthing like I never missed a day in the Navy.

One of my favorite hostels ever. Friendly staff, great service and facilities and budget friendly (I booked a dormitory during the week). They even offer free breakfast buffet which is such a great plus especially as a backpacker and trying to save some money here and there 😉 I felt very safe and comfortable during my stay here, thanks a million!

There are some things annoyed me while staying there. 1. The noise of closing a door is too loud. 2. Kitchen is a bit tiny. 3. Public area shuts down at 10pm. The staffs are all nice, they have different activities every night(except sat), you can borrow hair dryer at the counter, they also have lockers and refrigerators. Overall, BQ is the best hostel that I’ve been to! I’ve stayed seven nights at BQ and I never missed their breakfast time. It’s quite simple but delicious. BTW, could you tell me the brand of that cereal? please BQ team🥹🥹

The room and shared facilities were clean, and the location was good — but one incident left a sour taste. I asked to borrow a chair from the dining area for our private room, as I have a bad back and sitting on a stool was very uncomfortable. Despite there being dozens of chairs (and the room photos showing chairs), I was told no. The way it was said felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive. As a paying customer, asking to borrow a chair shouldn’t be a big deal. Annoyingly I didn’t get the staff member’s name, but if I had, I would mention it here. That moment overshadowed what was otherwise a good stay.

A perfect stay in the middle of the city! Location: 5/5 Walking distance from the Brisbane Central station, this hostel is a very good option if you are looking for a budget stay. I was traveling solo and had compared many hostels in the city centre region and found Brisbane Quarters the best fit. Room: 4/5 Rooms were tidy and had enough storage space. It was cold so quilt is available if you request for one. Beds are comfy however my bunk bud was moving whenever the bunk mate would move! Haha! But that's only a minor think. Has ample of plug points in the room but the one closest to the bed has only USB and C-type sockets. Overall things were manageable. Washrooms: 3/5 Loos and bath areas were being cleaned 2-3 times a day even at evening, which is really good. However, only one bathroom was working on my floor and the whole load was on that one. Hope they fix the one in maintainance soon. Service & Facilities: 5/5 24x7 someone or the other was at the reception, this is the best thing about this hostel! They were very helpful and kind. You can take hair dryer and iron in case you need. The hostel has ample of space for cold storage and refrigerator has sections to keep food. Many lockers to store dry food items as well. You can tag your food with name and date and keep it there untill you want. This was cool! Hot water was everywhere and everytime. Something that really helped in the cold weather. Challenges: Has many pans and cutlery, well equipped kitchen. Breakfast is served after 8:00am and it can't be made available before that. So if your day starts after that you might have to manage it on your own. If you are a vegetarian, you might not be able to cook in the kitchen as most of the guest might be cooking non-veg food and it was hard for me to even stand there. There was also a consistent after smell of meat/beef around the cooking area.
