We originally went to the YHA just up the hill from Chill but even with YHA membership it was too expensive. They were charging $12 a night for parking and the room was $144. So, we went down the hill and tried this one. Parking is free and the room price was $95. Our room was good and the elevator... More

Its a funky looking hostel with lovely views of the city along with every service you would expect. The key card system is terrible so don't be surprised when you are locked out. No free WIFI is annoying yet the awesome staff make up for this :-)

I chose chill last minute as I was coming to Brisbane en route down the east coast, and literally only stopping for two nights. I arrived late, and must admit, given the amount I had paid to sleep in an 8 bed dorm was disappointed; I paid less for a 4 bed dorm at a beautiful backpackers up in mission... More

I stayed over night. Thought it was a little expensive, but it was clean and secure. The staff were friendly. It has secure off road parking. It's walking distance to pubs, cinema and cafes. Quiet accommodation.

Worst hostel I have stayed at in quite some time. This place charges for towels, soap, internet WIFI (that ONLY works on the 3rd floor and 1st floor). The 3rd floor is predominantly teenagers, with loud music, no lighting at night, so if you want to do work on your pc, good luck. Also, be absolutely certain about your reservation.... More

We went to stay at chill backpackers after the horrendous weather that hit Brisbane last week. We packed our belongings and went to catch our bus to Brisbane. After waiting for 45 minutes we went back to our Malooloolaba hostel to phone the bus company. Our bus had been cancelled. Nothing was posted on the web site to inform us... More

Great location, very clean and nice and spacy even thought it's quite a small/medium sized hostel. Nice showers. Tv-room almost like a little cinema and with loads of couches. I just stayed on night but still had easy ro make friends. Only negative is WIFI is not free and expensive. But that is common in Australia.

I stayed here for 3 nights upon arriving in Brisbane! Located 7 min walk from main transit centre, right next to lots of other hostels. Cool looking building from outside. Friendly, helpful staff. I was in a 4 bed female dorm. Very small! No floor space with all out bags in there. Also no windows. And no windows in the... More

This is a handy enough hostel if you're just looking for a place to lay your head when needed and store your luggage the rest of the time. The rooms are nightmare though, and only stand to deter any good mood you may be in. The room that I was in was a 4 bed dorm, it was located in... More

The Chill website gave the impression of a boutique backpackers, which for the communal areas is true. However, the rooms and the overall layout were a different story. We booked a double room and was checked in to the stuffiest, tiny room with no air con. For such a trendy looking backpackers, the rooms felt like something that your Gran... More
