The Hostel is clean and the Staff is very helpfull. Its a cozy place far away from Home! You never feel lonely in this Place. Every new customer get a warm welcome and a Orientation Walk during the Hostel with a friendly Staff Member. Its always quiet at Nigthtime .

The yellow is a small and very lovely hostel. Most of the people stay for more than 4 weeks. It´s like a big family. Also it is clean, cheap and has a lot of activities (pool, pooltable, free dinner on sunday, free books...) If I ever go back to Brisbane I would definitely choose the Yellow Submarine :)

Thanks for a good couple of nights in Brisbane. Being my first trip to Oz I was a bit lost. the team at this hostel put me straight on what's cool to do and where to travel. I did some great adventure with Riverlife and had a XXXX (that's Oz for beer) then off to Sydney and the Melbourne Cup.

The place is run down, ill-managed, kitchen and especially the bathrooms very dirty with bad smell. People were very friendly, and there are a lot of longterm habitants staying there. Very welcoming. There is a pool, a place to hang laundry, washing machine, and an outside sitting area where everybody comes together at night. Location is fine, price for a... More

This was one of the cheaper Brisbane hostels to stay at and is decent in terms of cleanliness, accommodation and cost. It is located right behind the main strip of hostels you see on Roma Street - if you want to save a few bucks then I would recommend it. The place is definitely older and a bit run down... More

Its quite a quirky place but has too much against it for the price. Whole place is pretty worn and grubby. There's few facilities/advantages compared to other nearby options (though they all seem overpriced too). Its right by the metro and you get the noise as the trains pass. We did arrive there on Sunday which seems to be their... More

Upstairs bathrooms - one had no light and no hand soap, the other had no hand soap. You have to go downstairs to use the girls bathroom for hand soap. The girls bathroom has no locks and you can't even close the door while taking a shower. Did not feel safe. The kitchen closes 10 p.m. and does not open... More

This is by far the worst hostel in Oz. Nothing positive to say about this place other than its walking distance to the XXXX brewery. I honestly dont know where to start. The rooms are unclean, small and unsecure. The beds are uncomfortable and the linen is old and worn. The carpets havent seen a clean in a long, long,... More
