Brisbane City YHA

For just about any YHA, you’re going to pay a bit more, but the quality of the place makes it worth the extra price.
Rooms: Very, very clean. Light, and excellent storage space – there was enough room for me to lock my entire 50L backpack inside.
Bathrooms: Also clean. No complaints here.
Kitchen: One of the nicest of all the hostels I stayed at in Oz. Plenty of space in the fridges, high-​quality cooking facilities and utensils, and the dining space was clean and bountiful, too. I especially liked the outdoor, roof-​top picnic tables – great views while you eat your meal.
Community: The hostel had a lot of community space, but when I stayed here it was a less approachable crowd that what I typically experienced. Nevertheless, between the bar, the TV room, book share, and things to do in the city, you’ll find plenty of things to do. The front desk was always super helpful with giving directions and recommendations, as well.

Well it’s a clean and big hostel located in central Brisbane near Roma Street Station. But I have some points that are not good. No breakfast included and this is rubbish if you take 40 $ night in a dorm. The so called bar DRIFTERS serve expensive breakfast instead.
Another thing is that during my stay it was full of Germans and almost no other nationality was to be found.
Only hood thing was the cheap drinks in the var if it was open…

This is one of the best YHA’s that I’ve stayed at so far, even despite there being a lot of people that stay here. The main thing I kinda disliked about the hostel was that there are two separate buildings/​sides to the hostel which does tend to split up the amenities and things the hostel has to offer. I really do appreciate how they put effort into making daily events happen here and the restaurant/​bar near the lobby makes it really convenient for people to grab a quite bite or drink.
Normally I stay in a 4-​share room however I decided to opt for the double room for the one night. I was really pleased with the room and managed to get enough rest hopefully before my morning flight the following day out of Brisbane. Overall a great value, and being a YHA member certainly helps bring the rate down!

My brother and I stayed here for nearly a week in September of 2011. Neither one of us were disappointed with the accommodations here. We chose the six-​bed room The room was very basic (as with any hostel) but the bed was comfortable and everything including the bathroom was very clean. Head up to the 5^th floor for plenty of activities and beautiful views of the city.
We also spent a couple of hours each evening in the restaurant/​bar near the lobby. The food was good but portions were rather small for the prices. Beer was reasonably priced and there are plenty of comfortable places to sit and talk.
As for the location– we found it to be convenient to everything we wanted to do. Bring a good pair of shoes because this is a great city to explore on foot! You’d be cheating yourself out of some great experiences by taking a cab or bus.
The only complaint I have here was the Wi-​Fi access. Too expensive!

Sehr saubers, neues Hostel. Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad. Das war sozusagen luxus im spartanischem Stil. Einzig die Wände sind sehr dünn. Man hört den Nachbarn beim Packen, Duschen und sonstigem. Das hat uns aber nicht gestört. Im kleinen Café/​Restaurant kann man etwas trinken, essen oder Frühstücken. Das Hostel ist in fußmarschnähe zur City. Für Brisbane eine gute und günstige Unterkunft.

One of the better YHAs and certainly the best hostel in Brisbane. Modern, secure, clean and safe. Brisbane is a great city to experience Aussie lifestyle and there’s no better base for that.

There is so much to do and see in Brisbane, we stayed there for three weeks and we were out and about every day doing something different. There is a large selection of one/​two day trips available to such places as Australia Zoo, Sea World and the Koala sanctuary which are all well worth visiting, boat trips on the river, Friday and Sunday markets at South Bank, botanical gardens, Mount Cootha with fantastic views over the city and of course Queen Street mall which is a shoppers delight. Take plenty of money and a light suitcase, i was loaded down with souveneirs on the return journey.
