Property Description

Welcome to Somewhere to Stay Backpackers, right in the lively West End of Brisbane! You’ll be surrounded by tons of budget-friendly cafes, bars, and restaurants, and just a short walk to City Beach at South Bank and the Brisbane CBD. Your adventure starts right here!

Our laid-back Queenslander house is like a resort with its beautiful gardens, big pool, and cool verandas. Chill out, enjoy a meal or drink, and take in the best city views in Brisbane. The pool and garden area come with lounge chairs, hammocks, outdoor games, and of course, plenty of sunshine.

We’re just a 5-minute walk from West End’s cultural hub, packed with over 100 cafes, cheap eats, bars, and clubs. Plus, don’t miss the West End Markets every Saturday for a taste of local flavours and unique finds!

We love bringing people together, and that’s why we host a variety of free events at our hostel! Join us for fun activities like Paint n Sip, free pizza nights, BBQs, Mario Kart tournaments, trivia nights, and much more. We believe we’re not just a place to stay; we’re a vibrant community where new friends are made and unforgettable memories are created.

We offer a range of comfy rooms, from singles and doubles to twins and dorms, with many featuring ensuites. If you’re booking multiple dorm beds close to your stay (1-3 days in advance), we can’t promise you’ll all be in the same room, so let us know right after booking and we’ll try to keep your group together.

Arriving after midnight? No worries — just give us a heads-up so we can arrange for a night manager to check you in. We also have paid parking on-site, so contact us to secure a spot. Enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi, free coffee and tea, and a free shuttle bus (subject to availability).

We mainly welcome international travellers and students. Australian residents can stay too, but only for a week, and dorms are reserved for international guests only.

International guests are required to provide a valid PASSPORT as identification and credit card details at check-in. Australian residents are required to provide valid photo identification and credit card details at check-in.

Somewhere To Stay Backpackers Hostel will not accept any guests under the age of 18.

Come on over and make yourself at home — your new home away from home awaits!

The layout and look of this place is so cool and creates a laid back atmosphere and is in a great location. The staff are really friendly and helpful as well. However at night it kind of turns into a party hostel which attracts a certain clientele. I found this off putting as the chilled out atmosphere during the day morphs into a rowdy pub/bar vibe at night. Beds are pretty uncomfortable and people don’t clean up after themselves in the shared facilities. Quite overpriced for what it is.

Very safe, social, and clean! Only issue for me was the room was extremely cold, even with the provided blanket, my own blanket, and wearing a hoodie and sweatpants

Lovely atmosphere within the hostel and lots going on. Bathrooms felt a bit dirty but not awful. Location pretty good, lovely local street nearby but a little walk from the main city and in the suburbs. Loved having the curtains on the beds. The rooms felt safe as individual passes but the hostel itself and the outside bits can be accessed by anyone. Main critique is the wifi was really hit or miss. Sometimes you just can’t connect at all which is not helpful while travelling.
