I've stayed at a lot of hospitals in at least 10 countries and this was hands down the best one I've stayed at. The staff is so nice and helpful, the included breakfast is really good, they give you free towels and blankets, they don't charge a key deposit, there's a pool, a gym, and comfy common areas. There's also a laundry room and detergent is included which is amazing! The bathrooms are clean, the kitchen has lots of utensils and they have seasonings and oil accessible for everyone to use for cooking. I stayed in the pods and it was extremely comfortable and private, with a dimmable light and charging ports. I love that you have storage in the pod right next to you so your stuff is completely safe at all times. The rooms had AC and lots of storage options for my stuff.

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.

It was the best hostel experience 🙂 Being in other hostels in Cairns as well, YHA for sure is the best. It’s quiet, mature & clean 🙂 Staff is super cool & other residents very respectful.

One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed at. The kitchen is super spacious and you have everything you need (even an air fryer). Rooms are nice and super clean. The patio is nice as well. All staff is beyond, but special mention to Arthur who might have been the best ever in all hotels we’ve ever been to.

Best place to stay on Maggie! The dormitory is only 6 people, and all single beds, so no bunk. The kitchen is big and very nice to cook in, and they do recycle! I love the hammocks and the pool. Really best hostel ever. And the owner is so nice, and so is his cutie dog

In addition to the great location of the hostel, I really enjoyed the kitchen and common area on the top level. It's a great way to connect with people throughout the hostel. They do make sure that the hostel stays safe, asking all backpackers not to bring guests or people from outside.

This was the best hostel I’ve been so far. I stayed in the upstairs dorms which are very nice. With just 4/5 beds per room (not bunk beds for once). The building is not new but really nice with great vibes! Everybody was so chill…The common areas are great and the staff is awesome: thanks to Tim, Paul and Chelsea for what they do!
