Good location, nice roof top area and clean spaces. Staff is very friendly! Eva, Seb and Rose were the best staff ever, really helped me with some issue I needed to solve and that made me leave with a smile.

Reception help and convenient room / bathroom location in building.

“Get what you paid for. Staff are great.”
26 Feb 2025
The pool was incredible, although quite shallow and had an interesting water fill line, it was the one thing that immediately attracted me to this hostel. They had an incredible outdoor area, complete with hammocks, music playing, turf (fake grass) area, a cafe, a vending machine that absolutely saved my life, they have a viewing tower, very nice decks with amazing views.

“Superb”
24 Feb 2025
I love the room, super clean and comfy. Way better than anything else in Brisbane with the same price range.

“Happy, Once Again.”
23 Feb 2025
The accommodation is conveniently located near transport, so that makes it very easy to get around.

“Great stay”
22 Feb 2025
Very clean, facilities are a bit old compared to some but that’s to be expected at a backpackers. Kitchen as clean as it can be and staff were lovely!

“Better than most!”
