    The balcony opened up right to the street where the tram would come screeching by every 15mins. The sound of metal grinding on metal for 30secs every 15mins. Make sure you're a heavily sleeper

    Staff were extremely nice, other guests were fun as. Bathroom and kitchen where clean as. Great location for the rest of the coast.

    Bathroom and kitchen cleaness, bathrooms get smelly through the day, kitchen full of dirty dishes (half fault of the backpackers to, but it's up to the hostel to keep it in good nick). Internet is close to useless, only good enough for texting, any other social media barely works. (It does work nicely for the hostel tv tho)

    The people, comfy beds. Free laundry and dry lines available.

    After I checked in there was no instruction to find my room, so that took me a while and going up and down the stairs twice. There was only 1 toilet and 2 showers on my level, it was fine but didn't seem like enough for the number of beds. There were also no stalls for the shower, so belongings had to be out of the curtain and difficult to dry off and get changed- luckily no one else was in there while I was.

    All I needed was a bed to sleep in, so the room was fine. The electronic doors were a great level of security, I wasn't expecting that

    The place was great value for money easy to book friendly although the laundry system could be better but I don't believe that's the staff I believe it's just other tenants but weather wasn't the warmest so clothes took longer to dry then usual will definitely be back next time I'm in Brisbane the location is perfect so close to everything wifi reception was abit in and out.. but it's free so can't expect high speed NBN lol

    Reception is never open. It’s very difficult to find anyone who works at the hostel. They have a phone number on the wall but not very helpful if you don’t have a SIM card for Australia.

    Quiet hostel with plenty of facilities. Close to a Tram stop.

    Not much l didn't like you get what you pay for and for a hostel this is just fine.

    Good value for money and a great location. Next door to Anglers Arms Hotel, a kebab shop and other shopping facilities are close by.

    On the first night we were kept awake by noisy residents however the friendly manager made sure it didn't happen again for the rest of our stay.

    A friendly hostel that is walking distance to Australia fair shopping centre and Broadwater parklands. We stayed in one of the family rooms which made our stay a lot more affordable than a hotel.

    Good value, basic, clean accommodation that does the job.

    • Queen Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 1 night

    For this level of accommodation I was probably being optimistic to expect air conditioning. It was hot with only a wall fan available and had to leave balcony door open. Tended to be noisy with busy street outside. Main gripe was couldn't turn off balcony light which shone in brightly through open door. Had to draw drapes which cut off air flow.

    The accommodation was very conveniently located next to a tram stop and a pub for meals. The staff went out of their way to be helpful; and wait for my late 9pm arrival and show me everything I needed. Communal facilities were very clean and good.

    no air conditioning, just a fan that couldn’t do the job properly in the room. once you are outside the room you can finally breath because there’s ac in general areas. mattress very soft, but I guess it depends on what you prefer. also the pillows were uncomfortable, but clean. this place should be advertised as a hostel. the share bathroom has only one toilet for females in the floor and 2 showers which didn’t grant much privacy at all.

    good location, very close to the tram station, but this means you will hear the breaks squeaking day and night since windows are not thick enough. personal very friendly at the time of the check in, a part from that you won’t see them at any point during your stay since the desk it’s always shut down. overall the whole place looked clean, but the pool fool of dead leaves
