Minto Reviews

Everything was fine except for poor scheduling. I came home one day to find myself moved to another room in another building. Was VERY displeased about that and would advise staff to use a central scheduling system so this doesn't happen to anyone else!

Really lovely, characterful house with lovely period features and colourful decor. Owner Nathan was friendly and helpful and the location is great for access to the South Bank and South Brisbane. We stayed in a double room that was clean, had a comfortable bed, fridge and tons of space. Great value for money! Really relaxed arrival and check out too!

We enjoyed staying at Minto. It's a real nice guesthouse, simple and easy. Returning to Brisbane we definitely will be staying again. Instructions were clear when you arrive and you just can walk in and out the house. We enjoyed breakfast in the garden, nice and relaxed. Just like a holiday must be.

a gorgeous home-stay style hostel in easy walking distance to West End and the CBD, but also with a bus stop right outside. great communal lounge and deck areas, lovely claw foot baths, clean rooms, wi-fi access, pool available to use in adjacent property. a nice relaxing city break with interesting guests, not a party hostel. i know i'll be back!

Nice quiet place, no noise during daytime or nighttime. Staff is laid back and good of trust. Liked the livingroom with the Chesterfields and a lot of information about what to do in Brisbane.

Do yourself a favor: DON'T GO HERE!!! Unless you are a student and trying to find a place. It IS actually a student house and not the please for travelers. It is really, really dirty. You don't know what to touch, it's all sticky and there is a bad bad smell. At the pictures it looks nice, but that is fake. When you book a private room because you saw the photo on the site, you end up in a bunk bed. And once there, you don't change is because it is not close to other accommodation. Avoid!!

Great place to stay. Gorgeous house. I was an international student staying there for awhile while I found a permanent place to live. No complaints except that it was a little hard to get to UQ from here. The Internet was great although the wifi didn't work after a few days. Has Cable, and a gorgeous patio. I would gladly stay here again.

Minto has a nice deck on the front of the house where people often gather & network. There was no one at the house to check me in when I arrived at 6:00 at night and there was no indication of where I was to stay. They did come 3 hours later to do this, but by that time I had sorted myself out. At times it was hard to access the bathrooms. I would stay there again. The atmosphere was good & the people were friendly.

Rooms were clean and staff friendly, but bathrooms was not clean for two out of the three nights of our stay, unfortunately.

Judy and Don made me most welcome.I had 4 very nice days up to Xmas with sweets and nuts A little out of town ideal for those who want a quiet well manged house rather than the noisy party type environment Very nice quality fittings extremely good and clean bathrooms Reliable wifi a welcome set towels tea /coffe etc made it a like atrip to my aunty than a sterlie hotel Will revist next time inBrisbane On several bus routes and 10 min walk to South Bank or West End 30 mins into CBD on foot/ferry

Very wonderful colonial house in a nice and quite part of the city. Easy to park and also internet (wifi) free. Lovely place to relax after some other noisy hostels.

Lovely old building in a good location.
