Best hostal in Brisbane
Amazing staff, beautiful rooftop views, spacious rooms, easy free parking. I would recommend posting signs requiring guests to clean up after partying. Each morning the staff would pickup rubbish and empty bottles and cans. Yes, the hostal have rubbish and recycling bins easily accessible, yet some guests failed to use them

Ok
Maybe its unfair to this hostel that the ones i stayed in immediately before and after were very nice but this was.... not so much.
Old school hostel with a kitchen that was always dirty no matter what time or day i tried to use it, toilets were clean enough but no sanitary bins (just small bins / trash cans with no lid which is a bit gross if you ask me) and were both genders which is fine just unexpected.
Nice view from the roof and friendly staff though!

Good place to stay
Good stay for 2 nights. Booked mainly for proximity to Roma street station. Was also walking distance to south bank parklands which was nice. The hostel itself was pretty decent and the staff were great. The rooftop area was beautiful. As far as hostels go this is pretty good.

There were no bowls, cups and cutleries so bring your own. Kitchen was no clean and microwave was sooo dirty. If you seek really cheap place, go for it.

The property itself was fun , clean and overall friendly vibe. The bathrooms were surprisingly very clean considering how many people were to 2 toilets and 2 showers. The bedroom i booked had 6 bunks and an aircon ( though I couldn’t feel it at all) neither could the others in the room I suppose because they left the windows open at night for cool air. The room was really hot . I was luckily able to get 6 hours sleep but by 4:45 when the sun was beaming through the room again I was awake . Too hot . Comfortable bunk considering
