I had a very smooth arrival in Brisbane after taking a late night train. The hostel is located next to the train station and there is a night warden for late check-ins. Comfortable rooms. The hostel was very clean and tidy, a high quality hostel like usual in the hostels of Summer House.

I was attending a conference at Queensland University in Grey Street with my 20 year old daughter. I'm 61 and we are both full time students. We needed somewhere to stay that had excellent wifi was near to the University and affordable. Wifi was very good and its excellent value for money.. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. The room size was great. We had our own toilet and shower. I asked for a quiet room and they gave us room 53 at the back. It's a lovely vibrant vibe with very friendly staff and guests. Well organized and a very comfortable bed. They provided pancakes breakfast days but we didn't get a chance to eat any because of our early start. It was hot when we were there. We Ubered to the uni for around $10. There was some noise of people talking and having fun at night which was good and it made us feel safe. 10pm everything died down. It's a great place to stay👍

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

    great location in fortitude valley. very smart for a hostel. the hostel has its own bar / club with cheap drinks. a free drink was on offer at 8pm which was a good opportunity to meet other travellers. very friendly staff from the front desk to bar to security. despite all this we had no trouble sleeping, no noise issues, etc. although that could be due to the placement of the room we had. my friend and I had a twin ensuite room which was comfortable and clean.

    Wow what a hostel! I’ve experienced many hostels in my time but nothing compares to BQ. The design was more like a boutique hotel. The bathrooms were super modern and the bunk beds were spacious, comfortable and private. The free breakfast was a bonus and the staff were super friendly. 100% recommend to anyone looking to stay in Brisbane on a budget. Thank you for a fantastic stay BQ!
