The curtain on the beds were great to give some privacy. Own light and charging port as well which is great. Good size lockers - big enough for my large hiking bag pack and more.

Love the place,it's quiet clean and friendly staff, inspired by how this place came about heard the story from the owner herself.Good job. Love the pop corn night it's was fun. A wonderful experience. Special mention to Robin such a sweet Lady God Bless her heart. I forgot the name of lady that did the pop (my apologies)she is also sweet, always greets me when I walked through the door. It's the small talk that makes the day appreciate her. NOT forgetting the other 2 ladies that work hard to keep the place clean thank you and off course the guy (apologies if I identify the person wrongly). Thank you all for making my stay safe,comfortable and peaceful

    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!
