Chill Backpackers

Best hostel to stay at in brissy. Has a 4 story high rooftop, bathrooms are big on each floor and big kitchen that is open practically 24/7. The staff are very friendly especially Jazz. Couldn't recommend this place enough

I stayed in the female-only room here as my first accommodation during my working holiday. The room was clean, and the staff cleaned everything thoroughly every day. They also held my mail for me, which allowed me to apply for my TFN without any issues. The view from the rooftop is amazing — perfect for chilling and relaxing. Except for a hair dryer, the shared kitchen was well-equipped with essentials like a rice cooker, electric kettle, frying pan, plates, and cups. There are also vending machines for drinks and food. They offer free coffee, and it seems like there’s a weekly sausage party — I wish I had had time to join! If I ever need to stay at a hostel in Brisbane again, I’d definitely love to come back. Thank you so much for everything!

I booked a week in this hostel for my brother. On the first day he had all his shopping stolen. The reception took time before looking at the cameras, unfortunately his things were in a blind spot. They did nothing to get him reimbursed knowing that he had nothing left (money). Went to city backpacker, people are respectful and don't steal there

Clean. Heaps of showers on each level. Girl only toilets and showers. (Read the signs, can be embarrassing). Great outside area to hang, near the kitchen. Great big kitchen heaps of space for everyone's stuff. Everyone seems to follow the rules and clean up after themselves. So perfect to the heart of the city close to major railway station. The railway station will get you any where around Australia. Really good experience. The place was clean which i did appreciated..impressive venue.

This is genuinely the most disgusting place I've ever stayed. Our sheets are stained, the bathrooms are dirty and awful, everything is just falling into complete disrepair. To add insult to injury, every member of the reception staff that we interacted with were incredibly rude. We checked out a day early to stay somewhere else, when we really had to compromise our budget to make it happen. While the location is good, I would highly recommend going elsewhere nearby, it's just awful. The hostel simultaneously claims to have parking whilst also refusing to take any responsibility for the carpark which you have to book through Parkable at extortionate rates. Security is non-existent, we were sure to take all our valuables out of our private room each day, just in case, and the building, including the luggage storage area is consistently open to anyone from the street. I've seen the manager respond to other reviews saying that they take security seriously and I can say that this is categorically not the case. There's so much I could say - the bathrooms have no paper towels or hand dryers, there's no shelf in the showers, the corridors are only wide enough for one person at a time, the kitchen is tiny for the amount of people staying there. Essentially, they've entirely focussed on cutting corners to the point that it's just not fit for purpose and just a miserable experience. Avoid at all costs.

My stay at chill Backpackers has been amazing and I really want to thank Jazz the receptionist she is amazing, very helpful and committed to solving random problems that have happened. Hostel itself is better than most.

awful place to stay. if you are a solo woman travelling on her own DO NOT GO HERE was in a room with 4 middle age men and the room was ransid. it was awfully smelly and we couldn’t get the smell to leave. it was also very loud and you could hear everything. the beds feel like there going to fall apart and also like your gonna catch something from them. in the morning the “cleaners” barged into our room while we was making a cup of tea and they chucked all our stuff outside the room. they also tried to take my own towl from home and they put it in the washing bin. literally left asap as felt so unsafe and intimated. DO NOT GO HERE

Classic busy hostel... rooms simply furnished ok, clean ok, good lobby ok... appreciate the cleaning of the private room... perfect location! But I am very annoyed that in winter the air conditioning is on full blast and the rooms are cold... also you are allowed to smoke weed and it stinks everywhere

Great location with friendly staff and environment. The CBD is a short 20 min walk, across the street are nice shops and restaurants. Everything was easy

This is one of many hostels in Brisbane. Service and prices are average to a little above average maybe. The view on the rooftop next to their irish pub is quiet nice though. Overall a nice place to stay to hang out with fellow backpackers!

Nice and clean hostel, they have a bar right on premisses that does really nice food and entertainment most days during the week. Staff are quite friendly and willing to help, the only bad thing I can really say is that we had to wait for quite a while before we could check in and before our rooms where cleaned. Everything else was bang on.

I used this place a few times, and always found it to be one of the better hostels. It's a 5-10 minute walk away from the main area, Queen Street, but literally a stone's throw from the main train and bus station. The hostel itself is the usual backpackers haven. A communal tv come kitchen area that's always busy, and a large pool with plenty of sunbeds!! The staff, as with most hostels, can be backpackers too, but i've always found them very helpful and friendly.
