So really liked the vibe or where this hostel was located, it's like in a residential neighbourhood outside Brisby with some sick views! Property is cool as well... However Housekeeping has no regard or communication with reception. Had all my stuff touched moved, and put in a bin. They have little bags with plates and cutlery and they took that as well so had to get new stuff (also they make you keep it in your room, which is interesting) an they took my towel out of our on-site bathroom, and I did not get it back. Rooms had no air con, so prepare to be extremely hot. As well as rooms located upstairs are literally beside the common area, and is very small space so was like being in a nightclub. No charging spots very limited as well spaces to chill as well. Also been 3 days and they have not given me my deposit back, not the best experience here and would try one of the other 4 really cool hostels in Brisbane! It's manageable for a night or two but wouldn't spend your time or money past that based on my experience and I left!

4/5 stars - Value = 5/5 around $25 USD per bed for a dorm. About the cheapest rate around but with a good quality hostel! - Location = 4/5 reasonable walk to the bus stop but not a problem. Similar for restaurants and stores - Cleanliness = 5/5 very clean and well maintained - Kitchen = 5/5 very clean, large, plenty of storage in fridges and around. Lots of cooking equipment - Safety = 2/5 no real measures in place to limit people coming and going. Locks on most doors unused. Even if they were used the window couldn’t be closed and on ground level and human size. Nothing preventing unwanted people from walking in. Flimsy lockers and some were broken, evidence of people breaking into lockers. During our stay we had no issues. - Amenities = 5/5 large spaces to hang out in, swimming pool, ping pong, plenty of seating, videogames, large TV - Rooms/beds = 3/5 space was very small and as a result peoples stuff was overflowing from “their” space. Maybe 150 square feet of space and 125 of the footage is taken by beds. Beds were comfy with privacy curtains and ample fans - Party level =3/5 definitely there if you want it but not to the point of causing problems for people not involved - Other notes = primarily seemed to be people staying at the hostel for months at a time while working rideshare, hospitality, etc. The hostel probably delivered 80% of the Uber meals in Brisbane.

Definitely the best hostel for a thousand raisons. Cheaper booking and weekly price available at reception. I booked 1 week but my plan changed and I did the call at 2am the 3rd night to request a early check out. They were so conciliant and checked me out with this perfect customer service as in check in. The site is really gorgeous but you will probably be amazed by how the staff are friendly and same for the backpackers. Ahh yes every day cleaning. Bravo

Nice hostel, one of two beds was solid as a rock meaning not a good nights sleep which ruined what could have been a perfect experience. Super clean bathrooms cleaned multiple times a day. You were given your own set of dishes to babysit which was a little awkward but did ensure the place was tidy and you always had what you needed. They also have a very cute cat.

My friend and I didn’t mean to stay as long as we did but we just really liked the environment! The staff is really kind, the people are good, the events are fun and the rooms are also pretty good. They even got curtains on the beds! It was also really clean since everything gets cleaned multiple times a day. If you are a female you can use the female only bath with a separate toilet and petty new and good showers! We really enjoyed our stay, thank youu:))

Really nice place! It was clean, well organized, a very social hostel without being too loud, and the staff was great too! Also the location could not have been better. Really enjoyed the west end and being close to the river (the ferry is only 50 cents, just like all of the other Brisbane public transport)! Highly recommend!

Look, I loved this place. It felt like home. But, I'm young and wild. So this review is from me personally, and my preferences. I absolutely witnessed what people were talking about with a bunch of younguns doing, um, things that some people might not approve of. The cleaners do a great job. Everything is well looked after, and the kitchen is very well-equipped. Location couldn't be more perfect. And the atmosphere most of the day is super chill. Great spaces to hang around, whatever your vibe is. The rooms get a little warm at night, but it's a hostel so i can't expect perfection. Its also Queensland haha. So, if slightly wild young one is your vibe; this is absolutely for you. But I would say this is definitely not a family-friendly hostel. I'd also like to make a shout-out to two good citizens. Cadbury the hostel cat for being the snuggliest. And Mateo, for being very patient with everyone and generally trying to look out for people. You were super nice when I was leaving, and made me feel like part of a family.

One of the best experiences of my life ; thanks for everything, the staff is amazing and help you for everything. The area is very quiet and is not too far to Cbd. All the things you need are near by.
