Good

Liked: It was perfect for what we needed it for. The queen room was nice and separated from everyone else. It was ideal for a short term stay!
Disliked: It is located a little bit out of the center, but perfect if you’re up for a walk!

Pleasant

Perfect

Liked: Comfy and clean
Disliked: Nothing at all

Chill place with good ameneties...

Liked: Very great and comfortable room with private bathroom that matched the expectation. Having a kitchen and facilities for coworking and yoga and a small library and bar was great.
Disliked: It was a bit pricey compared to the fact that the majority of the guests are dorm-dweller backpackers and there is a lot of noise. It is located within a long walk distance from the city center (I was planned for this but for anyone who may think its very close to different central landmarks). Lastly, the fire alarm went off falsely many times (even early morning) and required evacuation…

Good

Overall disappointing…..

Liked: Staff were ok to great. Kitchen was well equipped and clean.
Disliked: Beds were cheap creaky type, so person below moves, so do you. Beds too small. Room too small (6 bed should be for 4, 4 bed for 2). Getting in top bunk is for dwarfs only. (See picture). Rooftop bar not open (as short staffed) but not allowed still to bring alcohol in? (I’m sure response will be we are not legally allowed, so make sure you can staff it, or give away your license?)Common area akin to a school canteen. Totally not designed to be a social hostel. Not recommended for solo travellers (I’m an extrovert and it was difficult). It’s 10 minutes of A road walking travel to CBD. Didn’t stay anywhere else in Brisbane for comparison, but this isn’t recommended for more than an emergency stay. Oh and I nearly forgot to say, you have to make your own bed!

Comfortable, well-located accommodation with everything...

Liked: The accommodation was comfortable and well-located, with everything you need for a pleasant stay.
Disliked: Just a heads-up—there aren’t many car parks available on-site, so it’s worth calling ahead to check availability if you’re driving. Aside from that, a great experience overall!
