I liked the atmosphere here, wasnt a full on party back packers which was good for us. We had a private double which is small and dont count on a good view but it was all we needed. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I liked that there were all sorts of people staying there, not just... More

Just as the title says, extremely efficent, and what you would expect of a YHA Hostel in one of the major cities. I checked in early and checked out late so didn't really check out all the amenities on offer. I had a 6 bedroom dorm, and the room and bathroom was exceptionally clean. All I could ask for really...

Stayed here twice, had a terrible experience, both times. Noise: Between being right beside the tracks, the walls being paper thin, and trains running multiple times an hour 24-7. I hope you like the sound of freight trains in your room. Hygiene: Fecal matter was on the floor of the mens washroom for 20 hours, (I checked out, gosh knows... More

I stayed here for the first 2 weeks of my stay in Brisbane. The hostel is fantastic, very well mantained & the facilities could be compared to that of a hotel. The pool and open terrace was an excellent hang up and relax location, especially if you were working. The room was very clean and spacious, along with comfortably beds... More

Great interior, fantastic food! There are two buildings, if your want easier access to the kitchen and pool on the top floor of the big building ask for a dorm there. The smaller building has larger bathrooms. It's not that close to the city, you need to walk down the hill to Roma station and go one stop to the... More

YHA Brisbane was the first backpacker's style accomodation I ever stayed in and it set an extremely high standard. The kitchens were amazing. You could cook a gourmet three course meal in there. The bathrooms were allright; clean, but the showers weren't functioning all that well. The pool and other ammenities were outstanding. The dorm rooms were kind of small,... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in a private ensuite. The room was basic, but clean, with airco and I had the most fabulous view. Bathroom was also clean and shower was good. and of course the rooftop terrace with pool are great. On the downside: the hostel is next to a train line, which may bother light sleepers (then again,... More

Good location - 15 min walk to the centre. The rooms are good with big lockers. The kitchen is filthy with old spounges to clean your dishes and no dry nor clean drying towels. No free wi-fi
