Best hostel ever!”

The place is nice, cool and clean. The people too. Close to a supermarket and a bridge that takes you to South Brisbane, the CBD and the "fake beach" also known as the free public pools of Brisbane. Escellent to travel solo, you can make friends during breakfast or at the free food nights that are held some days weekly. The only bad thing is that they close the kitchen at night.

Good value hostel”

Stayed during covid 19 with interstate/international border restrictions. Some of the dorms have been changed in to private rooms due to lower guests and to comply with social distancing. Therefore the value to obtain a private room with bathroom was good. Room was quiet, had good air conditioning and kept fairly clean. The rooftop area has some storage and a rusty bbq that could do with some attention. Communal kitchen was tidy.
