It was a good location for roma street station which can get you anywhere, also close to where Greyhound buses pick up. It has a basic gym and holds yoga classes. The coffee from the cafe is great! Shower was good.

The walk up the hill with my suitcase lol

Best hostel kitchen ever! Cubbies for everyone and good system, very nice terrace and pool, lovely staff! Filtered water at reception.

The mattress! Omg mattresses were so worn out, in many beds… need to be replaced/made more comfortable

Easy to find. Handy to Roma St station. Super clean room and bathroom. Windows opened. Handy Coles supermarket, Palace cinemas, Oporto, Sushi 5 minutes safe walk. Lots of bookings, but very quiet of an evening. Safe and secure. Nice welcome at reception.

There is construction going on over the road and they have night time bright lights that blast onto your window. My window had a block out holland blind, but the light blasted through the gaps on the side. Bring an eye mask. Block out curtains will fix this. Unfortunately, this 30+ storey high rise impacts on the river views and the construction will go on for some time. There was no overnight construction noise. Whilst this is going on I would not charge more to get a river side room.

- nice staff, I got fantasist recommendations for local places to visit - nice buildings with lot of facilities: swimming pool, rooftop, gym room, silent room, laptop room. - each bed has a curtain, a socket and a usb plug

- shower with no pressure, it's more haze - no hand soap in the bathroom, ensuite dorms should not be synonym for lack of hygiene - the dorm wasn't clean and the bin emptied the days when there was no one checking out the dorm - my dorm was two floors underneath the sport room but on Friday and Saturday I could hear the loud bangs from weights being dropped on the floor every minute, the gym room should have more restricted hours than until 11pm. - the kitchen and diner room are too hot when it's raining outside and there is no possibility to open the doors of the rooftop - 4 dryers for 5 washing machine is not enough, I had to wait 1h to be able to use a dryer

The best hostel in town! Excellent location and facilities. Definitely worth the price.

All good

Absolutely gorgeous setup, very clean. Bunkbeds were very comfy and the whole building is stylish. Have most things you’d need, including every bunk having their own charging outlets and lights built in. Pretty cool. Staff were also really friendly which made the whole thing more pleasant. The showers are absolutely phenomenal for a travellers hostel too. In a setting where you rarely get a moment to yourself, the showers are very nice and allow a place to relax with room and a nice flow from the showerhead.

Not really the properties fault, but the hostel by nature attracts young travellers. I myself am only 24, but I need to be able to sleep well at night as I have a lot of things to do through the day. Due to the mostly young clientele, it is common to have rowdy and disrespectful roommates. They are also consistently busy as a hostel, so moving rooms isn’t readily available, meaning you’re stuck with who you’re stuck with. I’m not the type to report people to reception for them to potentially lose their place to stay, even if they were disrespectful, but in the event that you do get the hostel involved, they are very fast and efficiently acting.

THE BEST CLEANIST YHA we've ever stayed at!!! SO LOVELY & CLEAN in rooms & public areas. We absolutely love YHA Brisbane - fantastic rooms & customer service. Such a wonderfully designed YHA - excellent location, fabulous refurbishments, comfy beds, nice pillows & linen. Great TV in room. Awesome little cafe. Our favourite place to stay when we're travelling through the city 100%. Thanks so much to Hamish on the front desk for being understanding with our special request. Thank you once again to all the wonderful staff especially the lovely freindly Kiwi Cleaning Supervisor Kelz - for making our stay so comfortable & relaxing. Will definitely return.

The big building being built next door - but then what do you expect? It's the city

I had an amazing stay at this hostel! Everything about it was perfect. The facilities are outstanding, starting with the yoga area, which was a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped, making it super easy to prepare meals. I also loved the large workspaces—they’re perfect for digital nomads or anyone needing a quiet place to focus. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. To top it all off, the hostel even has a gym, which was such a bonus! The vibe here is friendly and welcoming, with plenty of opportunities to connect with other travelers. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a balance of relaxation, productivity, and fun. I’ll definitely be back! And great location!

The blankets.

Really great hostel, it’s very big with lots of amenities. Bed was the comfiest bed we have had our whole trip, room was quiet and the bathrooms were clean and modern. Pool, kitchen and eating area was great and the cafe served good sandwiches and breakfast. Staff were very friendly and happy to help.

Kitchen was very busy in the evenings, felt like there were not enough hobs/sinks. No ovens either. Many of the washing machines and dryers were out of order too, came to take my stuff out of the washer a minute after the cycle finished and someone had already taken my clothes out and thrown them across the top of the machines.

Very great and comfortable room with private bathroom that matched the expectation. Having a kitchen and facilities for coworking and yoga and a small library and bar was great.

It was a bit pricey compared to the fact that the majority of the guests are dorm-dweller backpackers and there is a lot of noise. It is located within a long walk distance from the city center (I was planned for this but for anyone who may think its very close to different central landmarks). Lastly, the fire alarm went off falsely many times (even early morning) and required evacuation…
