Stayed at Banana Bender for 2 nights in August 2012. The building is really worn down, rooms are noicy and you hear the traffic all night. Since we stayed there in August, it was cold out and really cold in the rooms. The receptionist looked like he had worked for 7 straight days and didn't really wanna help out with... More

I stayed at Banana Backers for 3 weeks with my girlfriend in March 2013. If you want a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, then this is the place for you! We had a very pleasant stay and the owners Ben, Chris and the staff were always very friendly and accommodating. The hostel is very well price and rooms were always very... More

Within walking distance to the centre and south bank and with Coles supermarket on the doorstop the location is good. Overall it's a good place in an old building that would benefit from cosmetic upgrade and better cleaning. In dire need of new mattresses and pillows as they are mouldy! Staff superb, good security, kitchen a bit grubby but mainly... More

for our first experience in both brisbane and in a backpackers wasn't too bad.. Price was ok for what we got and rooms were reasonably clean. Certain workers made up for others here in terms of attitudes but in saying that if it wasn't for all the friends we made here i think the experience of staying here would have... More

I spent a few weeks at this hostel while doing some work in Brisbane. Very laid back and friendly. Everything is cleaned daily and there is a nice deck to socialize and eat. Good sized rooms and no squeaky beds here(they are welded) so nice quiet night sleep. Beer is cheap from reception for 3-4 dollars although its not a... More

I stayed there for two days during my visit to Brisbane. I have stayed in hostels in Sydney and this one was really relaxed. The dorm only had 4 beds which as great! Very trusting. The showers weren't great, but a shower all the same! Could do with lockers in the room, and our room only had one outlet, however... More

My partner and I needed somewhere reasonable to stay as we were relocating from overseas. Having stayed the previous year whilst backpacking I knew that it was clean, quite and friendly which is just what we needed as we were both working. We were delighted to find that they had separate 1 bedroom apartments. The first night we stayed in... More

apartment is so run down filthy dirty and seriously depressing. DONT SATY HERE!!! paper thin walls, you can hear neighbours talking really quietly in bed as if they are in the bed beside you!..........................................................................................................................................................................................

I stayed there for 4 nights, 2 nights in a private bedroom and 2 nights in a 4 share. Keep in mind, last time I stayed in a backpacker was 15 years ago... While it is an old hostel, it is cleaned on a daily basis (twice daily, I believe, for the kitchen). The 2 older (sorry mate! ;)) Aussie... More
