Everything was wonderful. Comfortable beds, large, comfortable bathrooms, 24-hour reception, and a well-equipped kitchen. There's a popular nightclub nearby, but the noise from it didn't reach my room.
Close to the city center. A supermarket is nearby. Rooms doesn't have fresh air as no one window is openable. Small space inside rooms. Staff are very friendly and helpful)
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.
Room was pretty good, check in process was a little slow but staff were very apologetic, loved the info and links via text, unfortunately no wifi details were left on the desk (I didn't ask or complain tho cuz I had my own internet). The only real downer was I went to the bistro for dinner and the footy was on super loud and I really couldn't enjoy my meal and when I complained and asked if this was the bistro my concerns about how loud it was were completely dismissed. The also had a sports bar so I don't understand why the bistro had to be so loud. I thought it was a bit rich being charged $2 for a takeaway container despite the fact i couldn't sit and enjoy my meal due to the footy (qld teams weren't even playing either). Otherwise everything else was good.
Always love staying here, best hostel in Brisbane, and I’ve stayed in way more. Best price, clean, nice pods making it feel more private. There’s a small kitchen, relaxing space, and great socials to meet other people
• room: clean bedsheets and pillows, clean AC filters and overall a compact functioning double room. Even though the room was nearby the stairs I did not hear noise from people passing by and had a good sleep
• shared bathroom was cleaned meticulously.
• amenities: they have a pool which is really nice and the inner courtyard is quite comfortable and has space to interact with other guests as well to just chill
• location: 15 min taxi from the airport (only way to go to the airport) 10 min walk from the train station and 15 min walk to the seaside. There are few restaurants and a supermarket in front of the hostel
• staff: kind an supportive
my background: I travel 320 days a year since 8 years staying in all range of accomodation from hostel to 5star. I just review objectively what I see with no judgement
IilovetravelyeahhI really enjoyed staying here! It was SO CLEAN and the beds were absolutely wonderful - so comfy! Th best of my life, actually. We did get an upgrade to 3-bedroom Oasis building, room 204, by the way. That was so amazing and we would definitely stay again and would love to. It's like brand new and is such a beautiful apartment and building in general. Just a short walk to the beach (like a few minutes). Great undercover parking - secure, with remotes - and just such a great stay. The cleaners for the apartment were so great. You only get 1 clean per 7 days, it seems, but we liked that - we could enjoy the privacy and there are cleaning tools in there - like vacuum, mop, etc. and iron, great washing machine and dryer, which we enjoyed using daily. The kitchen is fully equipped and it's basically an apartment.
So just so you know - it seems to be a real estate agency who lets rooms in varying apartment buildings in the precinct (all within walking distance from each other). So I guess if you book based on photos, you may not actually get that room or apartment block. But we had a great experience and would love to stay again. It's so close to the beach and the beach is so clean - no litter. Lifeguards are even there.
It's more of a quiet place to stay and more longterm or self-serve kind of thing; and that's great for people who want to basically rent a home for a short time, really, like we did. We had 11 nights as we were moving house and needed somewhere to stay and we so enjoyed it! I want to buy it haha. It's not like a resort nor hotel, really - it's maybe more like AirbnB but very professional and run by real state who is there in an office a short walk away, and they seem very professional and great. I don't usually like AirbnB.
TTam coupleVery gd location. Convenient walk to food and pier. Love the cosy breakfast on the verandah! A hotel of character! The only downside would be that some facilities inside the room are a bit old. Shower in our room is dripping. Noise at night could be loud!
