Great spot if you are going out for the night but if you are trying to get any sleep you have no chance. With the outdoor patio of a bar right outside your door, live music will be blasting all night. Showers and toilets were so disgusting as well. Free WiFi is only limited from 8pm to 8am.

The only reason I booked the hostel was for the free WiFi and it was down. It's been down for weeks and doesn't look like they will switch it back on. Stay at Brisbane backpackers. More fun, clean, cheap and free shuttles.

Hi Danielle, in response to the free wifi issue, we actually only got the wifi set up a few days before you arrived, so in terms of it being "down for weeks', that's not strictly true! Our wifi is run by the bar below us, so it's available 8pm till 8am every night and it will be switched off if people abuse it with massive downloads etc. Hope the rest of your stay with us was enjoyable!

It served its purpose. A little hard to find at first, but right across form china town and down the street from the train station make it wonderful for accessing the different parts of Brisbane!
