Minto student house was my first stop in Australia. I had no idea what to expect of the country let alone backpackers in general. I stayed at Minto for 3months while I worked in the Brisbane CBD. I am from Philadelphia, U.S.A. and this was my first time away from home; Minto served as a home away from home. It... More

I stayed at Mintos in August this year together with a friend and had a great time! I loved the location, it is close to Westend with its bars and the city centre is easy to reach as well, you can even see it from the veranda where we spent quite some time in the evenings. The owners were very... More

Minto was exactly what I needed for my week-long stay in Brisbane; a budget room, in a convenient location, without the chaos and drunken party vibe that usually dominates city backpackers. Clean and well organized, with great facilities. I'll definitely be back. More

I am also shocked because of some bad reviews from April that I really want to correct a few things about Minto as I want to describe my own experiences, which are very different. I stayed at Minto for 8 weeks from June to August and enjoyed it very much. My arrival was in the middle of the night and... More

This didn't bother us at all though. Our room was next to the bathroom on the main floor. It... More

This hostel is run by an extremely rude owner who has a female sidekick who has no communication skills whatsoever and is scared of him. On arrival we were met by a group of intimidating rough young men who had been drinking- the owner was no where to be seen-our name and room no had just been left on a... More

We stayed at the Minto student house because of its good reviews. I have no idea why this place gets good reviews at all! We had an awful experience! When we got there, there was a sign stating your name and your room number - no reception, no welcome. What's funny is that it says a phone number to ring... More
