Summary of traveller reviews

Chill Backpackers in Brisbane offers a great location, close to the city centre and transport links. While some guests found the facilities basic and cleanliness issues in common areas, many appreciated the friendly staff and rooftop terrace. It's a good option for budget travellers seeking a central base.

Hostelworld says

The clean and quiet Chill Backpackers is an easy walk from most of downtown Brisbane. In fact, this hostel has excellent views over the city and the river from its rooftop terrace. It also has laundry facilities, a jobs board, car parking, a pool table and more. Several Hostelworld guests have told us that "the roof top is a great place to get in contact with others, for pre-gaming and to chill".
