Quite disappointed. The bar was closed, even though it should be open. NO cutlery, cups, glasses or plates available in the kitchen. Guests have to pay a deposit for all these stuff. It’s the first hostel that I have seen this, so annoying. I have been in other YHAs and for sure this is the worst. Slow Wifi in the room, expensive.

Nomads Brisbane Hostel

Nomads Brisbane has everything a backpacker could want, with our five floors offering a wide variety of rooms to appeal to everyone from the newly-arrived to the newly-wed, including dormitory and private rooms. All rooms are secured via electronic keycards, while you can keep your valuables doubly secured with our supplied lockers. Linen is also provided so there's no need to bring your sleeping bag! But that's not all. Our rooftop terrace is the place in the Brisbane CBD to catch some sun, chill out, have a BBQ or just watch the world go by while you wait for your laundry in one of our three laundry rooms. If the sun's not your thing then we also have common areas to kick back, relax, and get some quality tv time; that or cook up a feast in our guest kitchen! If you're looking for work, why not let our Job Club give you a nudge in the right direction? Likewise, our friendly travel desk staff don't just know everything about the beautiful South-East Queensland - they can give you advice about anywhere in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific! Downstairs the Down Under Bar is where you can go full on, flat out! Come on down to Brisbane's most famous backpacker bar where you can win great prizes, dance the night away, or even meet Mr/Mrs Right (or Mr/Mrs Right Now!). If you're after something a little quieter then our Zi Bar does great food and coffee, with regular functions to keep you entertained. Dormitories are available to genuine backpackers only. Guests MUST be over 18 years old to stay at Nomads Brisbane Hostel.

Central to everything

Reviewed By Madangmum

I am an older woman who stayed on a Tuesday night to attend a course the next day. Perfect location took the train from domestic airport directly to Central railway, walked diagonally across the road to the heritage listed building. Staff were extremely friendly and polite. The lift was older so the two doors one wood, one metal, needed to be held to move luggage in or out. Totally manageable. Room was single with shared facilities. It was a very cold night so was happy I had my beanie and coat to add to the light doona for warmth. After 10pm the hotel was quiet and I slept well. Showering was better than anticipated, hot water, adequate lockable shower room. Toilets were clean and functioning. The bedrooms lock with a keypad or app on your phone. I have stayed in many hotels in the Brisbane CBD over the years and can truthfully say for the price it is good value. Some of the hotels I have stayed in charge up to four times as much and don’t even have consistent hot water. I did not need the kitchen so cannot comment. It is a heritage building so don’t expect modern and new! Overall a win for price and position.

Somewhere To Stay Backpackers

An amazing tropical style hostel. Dorms starting from $19 and private rooms from $49 pn. Situated 20 mins walk from Brisbane City, our hostel is located in the laid-back suburb of West End. An eclectic mix of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars are just a few minutes stroll from the hostel. Relax in our salt water pool or catch our free bus service to the city or Southbank and soak up the atmosphere.

No shuttle bus

Reviewed By charlottenott

Website advertised free shuttle bus. This is misleading as there isn’t a bus (which we discovered after already booking). Travel to and from the airport is expensive and cost us approx 100 dollars return as hostel is south of the city.

What a team!

Reviewed By 335bernadetted

What a team! I've been out of the water for 3-ish yrs due to health/COVID, and both wanted to dive again and was anxious +++++++++++++. I've always had positive experiences with Manta Lodge in the past, so naturally booked my refresher and dives with them. My day was amazing, thanks to the fun, professional, fantastic team. My refresher course instructor Bruna was so clear and thorough and encouraging. After the refresher, I was still ambivalent about diving again, as it was pretty windy on shore. However, the team were all so supportive and encouraging; the pre-dive briefing was made so fun by James that it was relaxing. Bruna continued to be present and grounding, while it was clear that the decision to dive or not was mine alone. The dives were so great! Lots of variety of fish, gorgeous colours; octopus, eels, sharks, wobegongs. Fantastic day out, and I will definitely dive with Manta Lodge again. Thanks team!

BUNK Brisbane

It's official... BUNK is Queensland's most award-winning hostel, recognized as the finest in our state no less than 6 times over the last decade.

close to the valley if ya planning to spend a night out and just crash out somewhere

Reviewed By Jakhon M

stayed there for a night or two a few times while going through Brisbane during various trips, the place has got a few levels so it feels like being in a submarine, walking through corridors after corridors to get to your room, definitely a good location though, I mean you've got the CBD (10 min walk) on one side and the valley - which is the heart of the Brisbane nightlife just underneath the building pretty much.

DO NOT STAY HERE

Reviewed By Eimear F

Stayed here July 1st when Brisbane was in lockdown, myself and my friend were booked in. We were “upgraded” to a 6 bed room with ensuing to ourselves. On arrival to the room it was clear it hadn’t been cleaned, bins full, rubbish under beds and previous stays belongings in the bedside lockers. The bathroom was also filthy and the light didn’t work. We had to ask a member of house keeping to clean our bathroom. Bathroom came with no soap or towels (despite saying they would be provided) - fair enough it’s a hostel. The sheets were dirty and unchanged. The whole floor smelled like smoke. Our room had no lockers to keep our belongings, fairly standard in most hostels. There was one plug socket in the whole room meant for six people. At this time in Brisbane there was a public health order for masks to be worn, no member of staff or other guests wore masks for our duration of stay. The kitchen was externally dirty, fridges not cleaned and one broken. The WiFi also does not work and it took us a number of hours and requests to get our bathroom light fixed. The only positive you could give it was the central location, we checked out early and requested a refund. If I could rate this place 0/10 I would. Overall do not stay here!!

This is not a hostel for backpackers it is a halfway house full of junkies. The whole places stinks and is filthy. We stayed for 4 nights and on the night we checked in someone had thrown up in the sink of the ladies toilets on level 2, there was still puke in the sink when we checked out. Disgusting. No one did their dishes, I jade to was everything before I used it. the showers were not very clean & hair everywhere. Do not stay here.

Breeze Lodge

Best hostel in Brisbane

Reviewed By anitak582

Great location with its own car park. Even if there is no spaces it’s easy to park on nearby streets where parking is free. Right next to the river and nice walks and very close to Story Bridge. Rooms are clean, each room has an ensuite. Every floor has a lounge area with big tv with netflix, couch, kettle for your coffee, small fridge and a balcony. There is rooftop where you can sunbath, do yoga or just chill. The ladies at the reception are exceptional, helped my boyfriend and me a lot. Big shout out to them! Overall amazing place 10/10!

Brisbane Quarters

City location, handy, good value, safe and warm - but noisy

Reviewed By LyndaMUtravel

We stayed two nights - business trip - 5/5 value; 5/5 location; 4/5 facilities; 0/5 check-in experience; overall experience 3/5 - my husband, a university professor, was demanded to produce his *passport* before they would let him check-in(!!) - NOWHERE on the booking instructions or confirmation did it state this requirement(!!!) - only to produce our Covid19 vaccination status. He was rather embarrassed & inconvenienced by this - and lucky he had a photo of his passport on his phone - else he may have been refused entry!! When I checked in the following day, I was not asked to produce anything(!!) except they couldn't find my booking(!) - they were looking under my *husband's* name instead of mine (the booking source) - just simple admin procedures that are not done correctly means unnecessary embarrassment and frustration for the guest. Finally, neither of us slept well - our room was the closest to the rowdy common area - and they didn't quieten down there to almost 10:30pm. Next time, we would choose another place to book.
