Hostels in Queensland, Australia

We stayed here for 3 nights. The room was ok but during our stay, no one came and clean up and we asked to change the towels only and the housekeeper seemed like she wasn't happy. When we checked in, the staff at the reception didn't give us any information on when to check out or information about the hostel because my application showed that I could check out until 5 pm, luckily I was asking. We don't ask for any special treatment but just the basic thing that we should've known. We've stayed at YHA Sydney Harbour and the staff were friendlier. Not that bad but not that good though.

Room was nice and clean! About a 20/30 minute walk to the ferry terminal but bus stop was about 3 minute walk from hotel. Had a pool on the roof which was great, nice view too.

I want to say a special Thank You to Rafael who makes me feel welcomed. His smile is always authentic and warm, making me truly a guest and not worried about being first time to Australia. So, he is a genuine asset of the hostel. Besides, check in and check out are super fast and efficient. The bathroom is very clean and spacious. There is hot water in the basins with hand wash provided. Above the basin is a very big mirror, so you can do make-up in the bathroom. The shower's water pressure is high enough, and you can move the shower head freely. So, it's perfect for backpackers who want to take a good shower and refresh themselves. In the room, there are 2 electrical outlets on the bedside. So it's very convenient for charging your phone and using your laptop on the bed.

Wooow!! The staf were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nice. The bathroom also clean. The kitchen offering you a nice cooking experience they provide you all you need for cooking

The owner is incredibly kind, and the staff are also more friendly than other hostels. The bus stop is right in front of Backpackers, and buses run frequently in the morning and once an hour in the evening. As of September 2025, the Story Bridge is under construction, so you can't cross it on foot, but you can take a bus.

I booked a basic double room, and the room was brighter when the lights were on. There are night markets on both sides of the hotel, and the front faces the sea. It is cost-effective, and the hygiene is average. It will feel very hot and humid without air conditioning, so the air conditioning is used 24 hours a day. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator, which is suitable for cooking.

The location is a 10min walk from the airport. Infrastructure is ok, but could be much better entertained and serviced. Also the was rubish on various places. The bathrooms could be cleaned more often. Sorry to say. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. A bus station is opposit the YHA, a high frequent road must be crossed very carefully.

I had a really nice and relaxing stay here. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I especially appreciated the free shuttle bus—it made getting around so much easier! The kitchen and laundry were useful, and the atmosphere was chill with other travelers. Breakfast service also awesome!! I’d love to come back someday!

Was nervous due to past reviews, but found the reception staff friendly and helpful & the facilities really good. The room was basic but location was walkable and, whilst a little noisy at night sometimes, the other guests were kind and considerate. Would stay again!

Overall a good stay. Lucky enough to have only 2 person in a 8-bed female dormitory.
