Kitchen is one of the smallest hostel kitchens I have seen and the overflowing fridges are a nightmare- if you want to never see something, my advice is to put it in those fridges… also kitchen gets totally closed in the morning and night for an hour, which I totally respect and understand but it sure is an inconvenience you have to plan around. In bathrooms there was nothing to dry hands with. I had to wait behind the door for 10 minutes or so as I was checking in late. Nobody answered the phone and there was no doorbell. I got the top bunk and it’s a typical shaky squeaky one like in everywhere in Australia. But in this one there was no outlet near by so I had to leave my phone charging on the floor far away from me. Thankfully nobody took it!

Staff were friendly. The dining area on kitchen floor is amazing if you want to socialize with a city view! Free instant coffee and fresh milk was a bonus. There’s a supermarket, bottle shop and some restaurants close by and sooo many different hostels in a row!

It was very cold and we just had a thin bed sheet blanket to cover ourselves. No lockers

The cleanliness of the kitchen, but I assume that as it's an average backpackers hostel it's very hard to see a clean kitchen at all.

Luca (maybe that was his name (?) the italian receptionist) was nice and welcoming. The great view at the common area oiutside the kitchen, the pool table.

Nice location.

I’m not a big fan of the keycard thing… And it was very hot in the room and there were only two power outlets for 8 people and they were mostly used by the fan’s to try and get some cool air in the room.

The kitchen area and the eating area was very nice. You can have a great view over Brisbane and to get to the main city, you don’t have to walk very far/long. The staff were very nice and in general I had a good time there! And you don’t have to worry about the Wifi because it is very fast, compared to other hostels!

Kitchen smells like s*** (maybe a problem with the air system?) No lockers in the rooms "Luggage room" is just a poor spot on the garage floor, doesn't feel clean nor safe No space to hang wet clothes No filtered water to drink in the kitchen

Less expensive than others Nice rooftop

The front check in area smelt very bad. Like sewage.

Location was perfect for our stay

Stayed in February 2024

Our room had no natural light so was very very dark and small, the mattress are thin and uncomfortable.

Compared to other places it’s reasonably priced. It’s ok for a few nights, it’s clean enough, kitchen was small but clean, social area was nice.

For a hostel the doors are really loud, i was in a private room and was woken up many times by other people coming and going by the doors being closed! The bed was just fine. No duvet or covers just a sheet and the blanket was the size of a door mat, my partner slept without anything but to be honest he didn’t want anything as he was too warm, but that shouldn’t be the case😖 pillows were too hard for my personal taste, but for one night it’ll do I’d stay here again and I plan to in a few weeks for the lions game!

location was amazing! 10-15 min walk along the river to queen street, shops, restaurants! Great facilities in the kitchen and common areas were to die for! Games and pool table available and roof top smoking area and chill out area with sun loungers with view of the city❤️❤️ Bathrooms and showers were clean and tidy at all times of the day and night!

the noice of door closed is quite obvious during midnight, a good earplug is quite recommended during sleeping lol

location is good, and it matches the standard so worths the price, but if you need more comfortable and tidy environment, just pay more to other houstle

Chill Backpackers is in a great location, we were able to walk to most places. We had a private room and it was spacious. The accommodation is basic but it does the job nicely!

- We were quite perplexed when we were sat on the bed mid morning and had a cleaning staff member just walk in. We were a couple in a private room so we found it really intrusive and uncomfortable. It was lucky we were decent as we hadnt long come back from showering. maybe we just arent used to hostel life but we booked a private room for a reason and felt it was inappropriate to have a staff member just walk in unannounced, only to hoover a tiny portion of the floor as we had suitcases open and change a bin which had one tiny bit of plastic in there. Understand doing this for dorm rooms but it really caught us off guard and made us concerned about our valuables in the room too - Toilet roll had often run out. Spares kept in the toilet would be good so people aren’t stuck without - Aircon couldn’t be adjusted so I would wake up freezing cold every night (we were only given a sheet to sleep in) - by the final night I was wearing two hoodies to bed in order to not wake up super cold

Reception staff were super friendly Air con Great city views from top floors with some half decent relaxation space Pretty good location near to some other hostels. 20 minute walk from main shopping area, South Bank, & from Roma St train and coach stations. Private double room was fairly comfy and spaciois

room was a bit small for the price we paid. the location wasn’t very convenient since there’s a fair distance from cbd and main shops. there were too many rules, and the pool table wasn’t working properly so we couldn’t finish our game. and we lost the coins.

beds were amazing. amenities alright. it was really humid and hot outside so we really appreciated the aircon in the room. that was great.

As a quad room, the space is quite narrow. There are only two outlets, which are insufficient for four people to plug in their devices.

We booked 3 beds in a 3 bed dorm but got told we were in separate rooms and then got 'upgraded' to a 3 bed dorm which was had already booked. The kitchen was questionable and the room had no windows or AC and the mattresses felt years old.

The location was good and the privacy in the room was good. Cleanliness was okay but could be better.
