Really surprised at how amazing this hostel was! Beds were the comfiest I’ve come across on the east coast and it was so spacious with plenty of storage space. The pool was lovely and staff were helpful. Plugs next to the bed and curtains was an added bonus. Great hostel.

Solid hostel, would recommend! Cleaner than most but could be a bit better. Good showers. Not very social but there are events to sign up for that are fun! Wellness Room is a big plus to stretch out/exercise.Pool is a bit small. Not a lot of comfortable lounging space, could use more comfy seating on the roof/ pool. Excellent staff!

Really disappointing stay. The room was awful and very small – hot, damp and sweaty due to the air con barely working. It was unclean, the bin wasn’t emptied once and contained old fast food, adding to the smell. The blind was broken, and the door wouldn’t shut properly, meaning the room was often left unlocked. The place had no social atmosphere whatsoever, staff barely acknowledged guests, and to top it all off, the bar was closed. Would not recommend or stay again.

Hostelworld says

Cool, contemporary and convenient, the Brisbane City YHA is the perfect hostel for groups or solo travellers looking to mix with fellow adventurers and make some friends. You don't even need to step out the front door to find a party, the bar is always bouncing and there's plenty of entertainment besides, like pool tables, swimming pool and a games room where they hold frequent Wii competitions. It's close to the centre too, as well as within walking distance of the transit centre, so you won't be getting lost.
