Brisbane hotellit South Brisbane

Plussat: Staff were extremely helpful. I was in an 8-bed dormitory, and there was plenty of room. Breakfast was basic but did the job...cereal and toast, coffee/tea and cordial. Never seemed to be too noisy to sleep.

Miinukset: They had a separate area for smokers, but when the wind blew in the wrong direction, you could smell it while eating.

Plussat: Shuttle bus

Miinukset: Breakfast too simple, even without tissue paper

Plussat: Nice pool and outdoor area

Miinukset: Booked a female room and a male was put in it. This also happened the week before to another guest. The reception apologised and stated it was a mix up. Once is a mixed up twice is not.

Plussat: It is located in a really good neighborhood with plenty of cool little restaurants & shops.

Miinukset: It was really loud at night. Not even that people were partying or making too much noise but you can ear every conversation or door from your bed which is kind of annoying.

Plussat: I haven't stayed in a backpackers for many years and was after a cheap nights accomodation for myself and my daughter. I have to say i was pleasantly surprised about how clean and tidy everything was, the mattresses felt new the bunk beds didn't squeak and we had our own bathroom. Staff were very helpful and we even got a parking space, although they only have afew. Easy walk to South Bank Station and they even have a free minibus to take you into town and pick you up if you need it.

Miinukset: Nothing, it was great

Plussat: Good wi-fi connection in the the room

Miinukset: NOTE THAT THE OWNERS/OPERATORS OF THIS FACILITY WILL TRY TO DISCREDIT ME BY LABELING ME WITH VERY NEGATIVE ADJECTIVES BECAUSE WHAT I WILL REVEAL TO YOU HERE: This whole property is geared towards one purpose - to get you there and to sell you as much alcohol as possible. There are signs everywhere, TV advertisements, wall posters, etc., trying to get you to buy their 'cheap' alcohol. The party starts early and when I arrived at 8pm and I could hear from 200 meters away people screaming and making incredible noise, many (young) people were already drunk. I rented a room on my own and the second night, after 7pm a young woman opened all of a sudden the door (I was undressed) pretending to ask me if the air conditioning was ok. The same things happened the following night, two employees opened my door (on both occasions, WITHOUT KNOCKING) and they came right in asking if the A/C was ok. They scared the heck out of me, I threw them out of the room and went downstairs to complain to the manager. She looked at the tapes and sure enough, THEY PRETEND to knock (so that the tape can show it) and a fraction of second later, they rush into the room pretending to ask for the A/C (which is stupid, because if the A/C/ did not work, all you had to go go downstairs and tell them). After asking around, I confirmed that they rush into any room they like, unannounced, so that they can catch the people drinking alcohol from outside sources, they want you to buy their cheap alcohol for their skyrocketing prices. I was verbally abused when I told the management when I realised what they were doing (which was also confirmed by a member of their staff) and she threatened to throw me out if I told anyone. So, unless you are in the mood of getting wasted every day and having cheap alcohol shoved down your throat, this is not the property for you. What they are doing is an invasion of privacy, of everyone's privacy so that they can sell alcohol..

Plussat: The facilities and the staff was good.

Miinukset: The people live here and so mess the room. So we didn’t like it because, when we enter the room we were in a shock about the messy in the room, we couldn’t put our staff in the lockers.

Plussat: Rooms have balcony

Miinukset: Staff constantly enters the rooms everyday to check "if the aircon is working". I was told to bring my bedsheets before checkout to get the key deposit back. $24 per night for a 6 people bedroom is not enough to hire a housekeeper? The staff acts like they are tired of dealing with people. Plus the location is bad you need to walk about 2 kms to the city centre. Overpriced.
