Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Good - close to woolworth , Coles , Target stores. and food court Kitchen and lounge with balcony overseeing Woolworth is nice.. 15 mins walk to the Brisbane Transit Centre BAD - Note it is just next to HILTON hotel.. and Wintergarden... then its easier to find the hostel as the front door seems hidden and not big to find I stay in 4 bed shared dorm.. the room size is unreasonably small as 15 square metre -- well if you go out most of the times in the city just need a bed to sleep it s okay. But you need to be well organized when you get back as other roommates might have slept already.. WF free only at reception area til 6 pm everyday you need to reset passcode next day

백패커로 나쁘지 않아요!

가격대비 괜찮습니다 딱 백패커라고 생각하시면 됩니다 잠시 머물고가는 일단 가장 좋은점은 시티에 있어서 이동이 굉장히 용이합니다. 근처에 큰마트들도 있구요. 또한 8인실해도 방이 꽉 차지않습니다. 제가 있을 때 저 포함 3-4명 정도였습니다. 그리고 방에 다 외국인이여서 좋았어요! 샤워시설은 별로 안좋아요 ㅎㅎ 잠시 머물다 가기는 나쁘지 않습니다!

Uncomfortable

I couldn't sleep for at least 1 hour. There was a door opening and closing all of the time and in addition, the aircon throws the air directly on the bed.

Cooles Hostel

Im grossen und ganzen ist es sehr einladend. Wir hatten ein Apartment von daher viel Platz mit eigener Küche und Badezimmer was super ist. Das Geschirr ist da aber leider nicht sehr sauber genau so wie die Küchengeräte und Herd. Wie hatten auch einige Kakerlaken im Zimmer, tot und lebendig. Das Apartment ist aber sehr gross und gemütlich. Es gibt sogar Raucherzonen was nicht sehr üblich in Australien ist. Der Strand und die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in der Nähe und schnell zu Fuss erreichbar.

great location and great stuff

Great location, easy to get to/from airport and really good starting point for exploring the city center. Rooms are just basic, but look like the photos. Bathroom looks like it is in a prison cell (I assume) but everything worked. stuff was really friendly and helpful. I'd book it again.

中心部にあり観光に便利

中心部にありどこにいくにしてもとても便利な立地でした。僕の部屋はワーホリで中長期的に使ってる方が多く、かなり散らかっていました。他の部屋は違うのかな？ またランドリーやキッチンも充実しており困ったことはありませんでした。ただ枕元にプライベートランプやコンセントがないので、快適とまでは言えませんが、安さを考慮するととても満足でした。

Not Bad

Basic and affordable accomodation in the city, close to Queen Street Mall and great other eateries, exploring is easy. Parking is a nightmare and will cost a fortune though, the Hilton Hotel owns the parking spaces which is why, better to catch public transport than have a car. All in all it was fine, facilities are cleaned daily and security measures were surprisingly good. I'd stay again.

Central location and Clean

One night stay in a private room. Easy check in/check out. Working elevator. Very noisy but it was a Friday night so not surprising. I was very happy that the noise cut offs (after 10 or 11pm) were upheld and eventually got to sleep. Would stay again.
