YHA Brisbane City
I found the location of YHA Brisbane City to be quite convenient, though being on a slight hill does make hauling luggage a bit challenging. The nearby Coles supermarket is super handy for picking up groceries and cooking in the shared kitchen on the fifth floor—perfect for saving money and enjoying home-cooked meals. The rooftop terrace is absolutely stunning, offering great views where you can relax and eat while soaking in the scenery. Cleanliness is good overall, but the shared bathrooms are a bit small. I stayed in a dorm with shared facilities, and since my roommate went to bed early and turned off the lights, I had to be careful not to disturb them when showering. The storage cabinets in the room are spacious enough for a 29-inch suitcase, and towels and hairdryers are available at the front desk—just drop used towels into the yellow bin after use. The touchless water dispenser is a real game-changer; no need to buy bottled water—just fill your bottle right there. Downloading the YHA app made entry seamless—just scan your phone at the door. On my second day, we experienced a fire alarm alert. The staff reacted swiftly, knocking on every door to ensure everyone evacuated safely, then guided us calmly to the front entrance. Thankfully, it was just a false alarm—the local fire department arrived quickly, as they’re actually located on the same street, and their uniforms looked impressively sharp. After checking everything, they left, and life returned to normal. This experience actually reassured me about the safety standards here. Overall, the vibe, convenience, and value-for-money make this hostel a top choice. I’d definitely come back.

Somewhere to Stay Backpackers
My first stop in Australia, and I stayed here for a full week. I didn’t speak much English at the time, so I kept to myself, but the vibe was incredibly welcoming. Most guests seemed to be long-term travelers, which made the atmosphere feel like a home away from home. Just a short walk away, there are plenty of cozy cafes—perfect for rainy days when you don’t feel like going out. Honestly, I loved it. I was a bit nervous at first—there were quite a few European guests, and they all seemed so energetic and outgoing—but every single one was kind and friendly, always smiling and reaching out to chat. It really made me feel included. The location is great, the staff is warm, and the whole experience felt genuine and refreshing. Definitely coming back.

Nightelier Mitchelton (The Brook)
I was initially drawn to this hotel because of the convenient parking, but ended up staying longer than planned—definitely a pleasant surprise! The room was spotless, quiet, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. While I appreciated the overall comfort and value, the breakfast was a bit repetitive—mostly bread-based every day with limited variety. Still, that small downside didn’t take away from the great experience. For travelers looking for a clean, comfortable base near transit options, this is a solid choice. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to others.
