We arrived at Somewhere to Stay at 8:30pm to find reception was closed between 8:30and 9pm so this was not a good start! Anyway, after waiting for half an hour we checked in and went to out private twin. It was basic but OK. The bathroom was seperate but there was nowhere to put anything in there - no pegs... More

My partner and I stayed at STS for one week in a dorm, then double, then twin room. We found all rooms comfortable with good beds although they are very small and very basic. The hostel attracts a mix of families, backpackers and 'tradies'. We found the staff very helpful and welcoming and the shuttle into town was a bonus... More

The room is basic with a comfy single bed, a bed side table and shelfing. If you have come here to stay in your... More

The free bus picked us up from the central station which was a great help me were lost. The place is old but it gives it a lot of charm and a big difference to other concrete backpacker jungles. Alright place but the hostel pool and area West end are awesome. More

This place is absolutely rotten. It's rooms are dark, dreary and dirty. The room my friend and I were placed was so smelly we needed clothes pegs to block our noses. The place is filthy. I reckon a cleaner hasn't been in the place for over a couple of years!! The bunk bed we were expected to stay in was... More

It was a great hostel and very cheerful atmosphere where people are hanging out all the time. They also have a bus to take you to certain points so no long walking. Great group of staff and this will always a must-stay hostel in Brisbane. More

Stayed in the hostel for 7 days. It was a really basic hostel and is very eco-friendly. There are very few toilets/bathrooms. The lighting in the room was quite bad and some rooms did not have a table or chair - just beds, a TV and a rack to put your items. The guests consists of young people who are... More
