The property was very accommodating and allowed me to use the booked room one night later than planned, due to my flight being rescheduled. The staff was friendly, and I really liked the double room during the first night.

Highly recommended I was only planning to stay one night, but I ended up booking two more. Even though it was a 10-bed dormitory, it felt very private because each bed had a curtain. The blanket was warm, and they provided a extra sheet. Thr price also very affordable and the location was convenient for public transport. The staff were incredibly kind!

Incredibly clean and comfortable. This is the first hostel I've stayed in that didn't have any dirty dishes or other disgusting kitchen situations going on at ANY time. Not too social, not too lonely. It was great.

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.

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.

    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!
