Clean, secure and in a good location! Check in and out easy, and great free bag storage. Loved the downstairs bar, always busy and enjoyed themed nights! Will stay when in Brisbane again.   Read Owner Comments

It is a nice place in the sense that it's got great location and all the services that you would expect of a backpacker's place. The Hostel is very big which assure a lot of people everyday in the bar that it has in the basement but the building is very old. I actually got the feeling that it had a little humidity smell that I didn't like.   Read Owner Comments

The location was great- right across from Central Station (2 blocks from Grayhound buses as well). Rooftop, terraces, and the 2 bars on the basement level made for plenty of great hang-out spots. Single rooms have NO fans (fine in warm weather but might be too hot in summer)!

The kitchen is probably one of the worst iv used for a hostel of this size, its was dirty, nothing worked and they had no forks. I wouldnt reccomend this hostel, the only good thing about it is the location.

had to change rooms 3 times within a couple of hours of arriving. takes about 30-45mins to get seen to at the desk! ended up in a 3 bed dorm when we asked for a 10. which wasent a proble till they booked someone into the room who later snuck someone else into the room later that night!! especially since they were both sleeping in the bunk above!! air con never work.the random announcements on the speakers in the morning never helped the hangover either! to big & inpersonal. sorry guys no good!

Online booking is the better option, ohterwise they will send you maybe to another and expensiver base hostel, although they have free rooms. The kitchen is big but dirty.
