Summary of traveller reviews

Habitat Backpackers in Brisbane offers a social atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff, though some recent guests find the rooms uncomfortably hot due to a lack of air conditioning and issues with cleanliness in common areas. It suits travellers looking for a budget-friendly stay.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed! This is a social hostel, which makes it so easy to make friends here. I got my farm work just for knowing ppl here and getting referred. Will definitely be back after my 88 days! Shout out to Budhi and Sam, who have helped me so much in times of need 🫶

Should be half the price for what it's got going on, no secure locker (small or large) in rooms, extremely limited toilets and showers, rooms (both me and my mates as we were split up) were utter pigstys (probably down to there being no storage). Quality of beds or whatever? Who knows, luckily I was just here for one night before a red eye and ended up going on an all night punt with the boys and got back to the hostel as we needed to leave. Drunk walking dist. from cbd & valley at least.
