When I first arrived, the reception staff seemed to be a bit on edge, which was a bit off putting to me, however, when I started my check-in process everything was fine. I was booked into a 10 bed dorm, which I usually don't have any problem doing, but this room was full of guys that appeared to have been... More

Stayed here one night, great location in central Brisbane. I had a single room, it was comfortable and quiet. (See pictures) The A/C worked well. The bathroom was ok, the water pressure and temperature were changeable in the shower. The batteries in the TV remote were dead, also the TV reception was poor. No free WIFI. What was really annoying,... More

Three weeks here and could have stayed longer.. One of the best hostels I stayed in.. Rooms and bathrooms were cleaned everyday.Reception was always very helpful. The price of the Internet was the best I've came across. Tinbillys bar downstairs was great fun and food and beer was pretty cheap.

We have a great housekeeping team and we always strive to... More

Recently bought by Base backpackers but it isn't up to standard yet, your better of staying at the Base central! Much better vibe, facilities and location. I booked a sanctuary room but there were no towels available for 2 days, clam to provide free pasta and rice but out of stock and not concierge :( disappointed

I hate writing bad reviews, but this place was ridiculious for the cost. We stayed in a private double which cost us $140 for the night. It was for the rugby match, so I am not sure if this is their usual price. On a good note they do provide a few 'extras' such as complementary shampoo, but I would... More

Chose this hostel as a one night stop off before catching the Sunlander train the next day and, just across the road from the transit centre, it is a great location for that. Booked a 4-bed dorm which was ensuite. Arrived to find that I was the only person in the room that night, which was fine, bit of privacy,... More
