This is my second stay here and for good reason. It was a more than satisfactory experience yet again and the staff couldn’t have made me feel more welcome.

This place is fantastic! Great value, perfect location, free breakfast and dinner! The bathrooms are clean and modern, they have all the shampoo/conditioner/body wash/blow dryer etc. available for free. The lounge is spacious, the outdoor area is huge! You can lounge around in the sun, play soccer or workout with the gym equipment. The beds are comfy and I love having the shelves, power points, light and fan within reach in bed. For the amount of beds in the premises it's not noisy at all. The storage under the beds is fantastic too. Highly recommend this place.

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.

It was the best hostel experience 🙂 Being in other hostels in Cairns as well, YHA for sure is the best. It’s quiet, mature & clean 🙂 Staff is super cool & other residents very respectful.

One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen is super spacious and you have everything you need (even an air fryer). Rooms are nice and super clean. The patio is nice as well. All staff is beyond, but special mention to Arthur who might have been the best ever in all hotels we’ve ever been to.

Best place to stay on Maggie! The dormitory is only 6 people, and all single beds, so no bunk. The kitchen is big and very nice to cook in, and they do recycle! I love the hammocks and the pool. Really best hostel ever. And the owner is so nice, and so is his cutie dog

In addition to the great location of the hostel, I really enjoyed the kitchen and common area on the top level. It's a great way to connect with people throughout the hostel. They do make sure that the hostel stays safe, asking all backpackers not to bring guests or people from outside.

This is a very nice hostel. The building has everything you need. They take great care for everyday cleanings. My dorm was mixed with bunk beds. There’s a safe under the bed for each person. Sheets were clean, and so the bathrooms.
