There are people from all over the world, especially Europeans. I got my own private sleeping space, and it’s not too expensive,even with breakfast and dinner included.

Very cool system of creating a personalised key for my room and locker. Pod beds are well designed and comfortable. A sliding foam block means you get almost complete darkness at any time of day if you want it. Really convenient location, just around the corner from Valley Metro.

It was a great location with walking distances to places like the Suncorp stadium, xxxx factory, Queensland Museum, Performing Arts Theatre, City Hall, Coles and many more. The toilets and rooms were always clean including the outdoor areas and the kitchen area too when no one is cooking. Open space to move around and relax and meet other people with a great view of the city skyscrapers at night. I had an amazing time staying there and meeting people from different countries. I would definitely recommend my friends to stay there, and I would also love to stay there again if I had another trip to Brisbane.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Love love love YHA Brisbane. I always stay here whenever I'm in the city. Very clean, safe and not crowded/loud. Facilities and amenities are very good and always clean. The staff are awesome. Great location and absolutely priceless view of the city from the roof top. They have a rooftop bar as well and the cafe at reception does a great coffee. Best Hostel in Brisbane.

Reasonable hostel, great location within a few minutes walk to Suncorp Stadium, transportation and the city centre. Excellent option if you're wanting to go to Magic Round or a Broncos game on a budget.

Great location within the city. Coles is less than a 5 minute walk away and only a 15 minute walk to the city centre. Property is always cleaned as there is cleaners around daily. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The hostel host an activity every night as ranging from free food to free entertainment which is great to see as a backpacker. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, I initially booked for 2 weeks and extended my stay by another month. Great experience overall
