I stayed at Bunk in April, was in a private double room, was clean and comfortable. The staff was really helpfull and friendly and having a bar at my accommodation was great! They had a great brazillian band on one of the nights I stayed and I felt very safe in the city of Brisbane staying here. Definately recommend. Great... More

The Bunk is a really nice place to stay, even for a ling time. The rooms are pretty clean, a lot of them have toilet and shower inside, and every bed has its own light and plug. The kitchen is a little bit crowded, sometimes not very clean, but it's a hostel kitchen, so it's normal. The Bunk organizes something... More

The staff are very friendly when checking in, but it's all downhill from there. We stayed in a room for two (bunkbed with washroom and shower), and opened the door to the pleasant powerful smell of sewer gas, which was present the entire evening/morning we stayed there. There were also little bugs scattering around, and hair stuck in the shower... More

Stayed in a private room with ensuite with my fiancé may 2013. We only lasted one night. The room smelled terrible and there was bugs all over the shower. I stayed in many hostels while backpacking through Europe. This is by far the worst hostel I have ever stayed in. One should definitely avoid if they are squeamish about bugs.

So we decided to say here due to its apparent social nature. We arrived very early in the morning and went straight to our 'upgraded' dorm which yeah was fine however one slight move and the beds made the loudest noise it wakes yourself and everyone else up. The bathroom in the dorm is fine too. However, whoever cleans that... More

So I realize a hostel is a hostel and for the prices you pay a bit of a cramped possibly smelly room is totally okay, but for spending $90 a night for a room I hoped maybe it would be at least liveable. Me and my partner booked a double bed room with an ensuite. When we arrived the room... More

We stayed at BUNK for 2 days in a 8 bed mixed dorm that had a separate en suite toilet and shower room. When we arrived, we happened to turn up at peak checking in time, there were about 30 people all waiting to check in at the same time and lots of the rooms weren't ready so it was... More

I would not recommend this place. When we arrived, we had to change rooms two times. Once because the room didn't have enough available beds, and the other room was infested with bugs. Kitchen is also extremely dirty, no one cleans their dishes. We booked another night while we were here and they made us check out, and check back... More

Ok, so despite being REALLY noisy in the evenings (luckily I can sleep through anything) this was almost my favourite hostel in the whole East Coast trip I did with my sister. We had originally booked a 20 bed dorm so we were expecting the worst and kinda dreading turning up here. However, when we got there, they upgraded us... More

Such a great location and nicest staff. Thanks to all the gang for having me. One of the cleanest and bet hostels in Australia and the best in Brisbane for sure! Right next to a great pub/ nightclub that was going off when I was there always some fun stuff happening and the Bunk guys got everyone involved. Cheers Legends
