I've stayed in this hostel on two different occasions and i will definitely will be heading back there. Stayed in the 30 bed dorm and it was serious craic. Everyone down there was so friendly and welcoming. The staff were always cleaning which was brilliant. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The pub was an added bonus and put... More

I lived at Brisbane City Backpackers for a total of 3 months. It was one of the best hostels I've stayed at and I've stayed a MANYY hostels around Europe and Australia. The staff often changes, but they only hire the friendliest ones and they are all very knowledgeable. The have cleaning staff that clean every inch of the hostel... More

an only ok hostel for me...the room i stayed in had a very weird pong that did not go away even with windows constantly open, there was loads of ants in my room, only 2 showers and 2 toilets (male and female) per floor...and worst of all, my 2 favorite (sentimental) rings went missing during my stay here which ruined...

The hostel advertises a heated swimming pool which is never heated. Drinking your own alcohol is banned in the hostel grounds and if caught they charge you 2 nights rent which is $66 also even if they suspect you to be drinking they charge you. The bar is over priced for a backpackers bar. The management staff all stick together... More

We stayed here for one night in a privet room and can't really complain about anything as it was a decent room for a cheap price. The room was clean and served it purpose. The bathrooms were fine, nothing about them screamed unclean or amazing. The place was distinctly average but excelent cheap price tag. The only things that were... More

I feel that I need to share my thoughts on this hostel. Usually I don't give bad reviews but I was really disgusted with this place. My initial impression of the staff was great. They were friendly and helpful. But then when I went into the dorm building it immediately reeked of urine. Then I entered my room and it... More

Disgusting, filthy rooms. Dirty bathrooms with no hand dryer or paper towel - which leads me to believe people don't wash their hands. Apparent issues with who 'owns' what bed. During my stay, someone said I was in 'his' bed, and the front desk had been removing the wrong bedding of guests on a regular basis. Kitchen requires you to... More

Nice hostel in walking distance to most of the city´s points of interest and only about two minutes from a coles grocery store, which was a big plus for me. Another big advantage, the hostel offers is free wifi and two PCs for free use, although the connection is often very slow and the stools are way too uncomfortabe. The... More

they harp on about super fast broadband... Don't expect to get any connection in the peak times! They have not catered for "the modern era"... Rooms are OK, showers and toilets are so busy that the cleaners can't keep up, so don't expect spotless!!!! Bar... "Fiddlers Elbow" is a young persons place to get pissed! there is no tolerance for... More
