This is one of the best hostels I stayed with in brisbane. The hostel had alot of character and unique qualities that chain hostels dont. The staff were always very friendly and great fun around the hostel getting everyone involved with tours and nights out. I will definitley stay here again when im back in brisbane, Its so clean and the location is perfect between south bank and the city. I will never forget my time in this hostel and would recommend this to all backpackers.

great hostel to stay in - not a big party atmosphere but you can BYO and City (Chill's sister hostel) has lots going on that Chill guests can attend. Very clean with most areas cleaned at least twice a day, staff are great and really helpful. I'd highly recommend it, just be sure to grab a blanket at check in to be cosy in bed :)

I am a more "mature" traveller one might say.....and had a few concerns about staying in a hostel again after a few years out of the scene. Chilled was awesome....security was great, facilities were cleaned regularly and the staff were really helpful and informative. Noise levels were fairly good too apart from the odd burst of song from time to time......but you have to expect that :) Great work guys, keep it up!!!

The hostel itself was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful I really could'nt fault them. The only bad thing i have to say about the Chill Backpackers is the guests staying there, in my room the lady was so rude, after staying in many hostels maybe this lady could have been a 'long-termer' but she was so rude and unwelcoming! However Chill backpackers is a great place to stay that I would and have since recommended.

I only stayed in the hostel for 1 night but it was in a good location close to the Transit Centre and also the city. It was clean and the staff were helpful. I would recommend this hostel to others.

I love the roof top - usually in a long trip, you just don't feel like cooking at hostel. But with the roof top, you can see the sky and the stars, as well as part of the city night view, it is nice to cook and dine there. The hostel is overall, clean. Only that they do not have an official introduction of local tour and sight seeing, but I think it is acceptable as a hostel

This hostel loses marks for not providing hand towels/paper towels in the bathroom; for not having towels available for hire; for not having free wifi and for not having cutlery available for use.
