Location is perfect and in general the hostel is good. They have everything u need in the kitchen.

Booked the hostel because the coworking room should be included as a facility, but found it did cost 10$ to sit there between 7am-5pm. The dorm room was really cold and the plastic madrases make a lot of sounds. Cleaning in the bathroom could be a bit better, it was schampoo bottles etc on the floor that seemed to have been there for ages. Also the whole room woke up at 4 am one day because one of the staff randomly and really drunk went in to our room, slept in someone else bed and peed on the floor. Heard that guy got fired the day after, but could be cool with a discount or something, but no one even said sorry for what happened.

The private room was really lovely, nice size and decent bathroom. No complaints. Staff were very helpful also.

Staying at this hostel was a heartwarming experience! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the place is clean and welcoming, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Also, the hostel offers many wonderful activities like live music, movies, art workshop and it is an opportunity to know people from all over the world.

One small downside was that although the weather outside was lovely, there were no windows in the room or kitchen that could be opened for fresh air. Still, I truly enjoyed my stay and would gladly come back!

It’s one of the best hostels I've ever been to. The hostel is very clean and there is great and welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are very cozy and the beds are super comfortable. The location is also perfect. You can be in the city in just a few minutes and there are even several small stores for food and drink directly opposite. I would also recommend everyone to try the breakfast in the restaurant. It is delicious. I would always come back :)

Everything was fine

Selina´s location in close proximity to Roma St train station is unbeatable, nice and central. Selina is a cozy hostel which feels more like a hotel due to it´s lack of shared spaces. It´s very neat and clean, rooms are very comfy and quiet, which makes for a very restful stay. All in all a great place to stay for a couple of nights.

The communal kitchen is tiny, for way to many people and opens only at 8 am, which is more than inconvenient. It´s extremely overpriced with $72 for a bed in a dorm. There is cheaper options, but I really feel the price is way out of line even for Brisbane. Especially considering that the room I slept in smelled like a puma cage and you aren´t even able to open the window. Also I feel you should at least be given a clean towel at that price.

Very well located, friendly staff, comfortable beds with a little privacy, coworking space

The wall sockets in the beds don't have Australian plugs, the coworking space is used too often as a general social space, and other spaces are underutilized. Why not have a social space and a quiet space? On multiple occasions I saw people who were working have to leave the coworking space because it was too loud. Also, it gets cold in the dorms with the air conditioning on, but they don't provide blankets. I asked at the desk several times for a blanket and they said they'd give me one but didn't. Just had to deal with being cold for a few nights.

What was meant to be a 3 night stay in Brisbane turned into a 5 night stay when all transport was cancelled due to the cyclone. We honestly couldn’t have stayed anywhere better than Roamers. The staff were all amazing, Beth Mike and Megan on reception were there to extend our stay and kindly let us stay in the same room the whole time. They were such a help and offered advice and a chat when the cabin fever was setting in. They would have a dealt with this for every customer plus all the cancellations, they always had a smile. The bar stayed open the whole time, the bar staff - Mattis, Arie, Kcee, Clara were also amazing. There was a brill lunch deal on and being one of the only restaurants/ bars open it was always full and everything was always perfect. They put on an event every night which was such a highlight and lead us to making our little group of friends. How they had the energy to work and entertain I have no idea! We also had an incident with a member of the public not understanding personal space and the bar and reception staff were straight onto it, felt super super safe here. We probably saw more of the housekeeping team than ever before just due to how little we left the hostel for safety and weather. The hostel was so tidy and clean to say it was full and the city was closed. One of the fridges broke for a night (cyclones fault not hostel) and the staff moved all the food to a back up fridge. Moved things around in the kitchen when there was a leak (also cyclone fault) so no one’s food was wasted. The hallways and co working space was always clean. So thank you to the houses keeping staff - Kim, Amelia, Lena, Maja, Melissa. And a big shout out to probably the craziest job to have during a cyclone Theo on maintenance, there really wasn’t much disruption at all to say it was major weather warning so thank you for keeping us safe!

Nothing it was amazing!

I liked everything, clearly the best hostels I have stayed in Australia (visited 10 cities) - Ideally located in the centre - convenient bracelet that is used as a card to open the doors - Nice staff - big dorms with a big bathroom, clearly we have space and it's soooo great - nice facilities inside the dorm (curtains for the bed, wardrobe and shampoo/shower gel inside the shower - first time that I see that : international sockets so no need adapter (the person who thought about the is a genius) - super clean - restaurant just next to it.

Honestly nothing

The location is great, right in front of the Roma station. I was in the women’s dorm, a room with 4 bunk beds. I felt safe throughout my time there. I particularly liked the style of the bunk beds - which allowed you to have total privacy. And a lockable (byo small pad lock) shelf within the bunkbed space that could fit a cabin size luggage. However no other storage lockers were available in the room from what I could see. I had a late flight and arrived after reception hours and Riccardo came to my rescue promptly which I was extremely grateful for.

Thankfully I didn’t need it for this trip as I was travelling light, but perhaps another locker space for bigger luggage may be good.

The greyhound bus stop and train station is super close by, maybe a 10-15 minute walk to this hostel down main streets. It is easy to find and a great place to stay. The reception staff were friendly and there was a secure place to store luggage in the office behind reception. Check in was a little chaotic and late but I think it was a learning curve with new staff so I can't hold that against them. Once checked in the room is spacious with good quality and sturdy in-built bunk beds with easy to climb ladders. The room had a bathroom attached which was convenient. There are lots of extra curricular activities put on such as film nights etc to keep you entertained throughout the week and there is a lovely bar attached in the same building where you can chill and have great food and drinks. Wifi from memory was good but I didn't use that much or try to work from here. Overall, would recommend!

The only way to access the rooms or any of the floors were by lift and they were exceedingly slow. I don't know whether it was just that day but having that as the only option - and the emergency exit stairs as only opening onto the ground floor - felt frustrating at times. The bathroom in the bedroom had 2 showers and a toilet with its own door within the same room. However, the only lock was on the main door so when you used the shower or toilet you had to lock the whole thing which makes the 2 showers being there illogical unless a few of us are going in there at once and getting friendly. That setup would benefit from some more thought so the toilet and showers can be used simultaneously by different people.
