Aussie Way is a small quiet hostel in a charming historic home. There’s a small fully equipped kitchen, pool table, internet access, swimming pool and a nice balcony overlooking the street. The hostel is located on a quiet residential street close to bars and cafés on nearby Caxton Street and the Transit Centre is a short walk way.

This is an old house down a side street in Fortitude Valley that has been turned into a hostel. It really has no atmosphere, as there are not many rooms and the owners keep things very quiet. The kitchen is tiny, and the dining area doubles as the common room with just a small television and some tables. The bathrooms are very old, and the dorms are shabby and cramped. The place has some character, though, and they offer internet and a shuttle service.

Banana Bender is a nice hostel with a good TV lounge, Internet access, bar, barbecue and a deck with nice views. Accommodation is mostly in four-bed dorms. It’s located on the corner of Jessie Street and Petrie Terrace, close to the Transit Centre and the bars and cafés on nearby Caxton Street.

Just across from Central Station in an old ornate building, this Base hostel has tons of character. The old rickety heritage listed lift leads up to brightly coloured floors with spacious dorms. The Down Under Bar & Grill is a popular watering hole/nightclub, so expect a big party here most nights. They also offer cheap breakfast, happy hour, and pool tables. The hostel has a rooftop barbecue area with excellent views of the city, a large clean kitchen, an internet café, a job desk and a tour desk. Security is very good and the reception is open 24 hours. Since this (and the Embassy) is now a Base hostel, they are adding the Sanctuary- girls only dorms with special conveniences.

This high-security hostel has a very low-key atmosphere compared to the Base Brisbane Palace Central, just two blocks away. Like the other Base hostel it has a great location, but has a more mature feel. The hostel is clean and modern, with nice furnishings and all the fittings. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the dorms are comfortable. The cinema room is beautiful, with plush pillows and a huge screen. They also have a good rooftop barbecue area with great city views. Reception staff are very nice and helpful.

This is a bright hostel with heaps of facilities including a swimming pool/spa, tennis court, a bar, a café with cheap food, a movie room and a tour desk. Dorms all en suite bathrooms and are clean and well maintained. There is an internet café and a nice outdoor common area with pool tables. The kitchen is not a strong point, however, as it is small and unclean. Reception staff are friendly and helpful with employment advice. They run free hourly shuttle bus into the city.

This hostel offers a good range of facilities including a lively bar and a rooftop swimming pool. The large but messy kitchen leads into a TV/internet room with unlimited free wireless access. There is a sundeck with great views of the city and Story Bridge, the dorms are quite old and the bathrooms could really use a renovation. They offer nightly events including pub crawls and barbeques. Reception staff can be rude and inattentive.

This YHA is currently undergoing extensive remodelling and is poised to become one of the best hostels in Brisbane. By the time of publication it should have all brand new furnishings and fittings including a rooftop swimming pool and a bar/café. Half of it is done, and it is gorgeous. They have a travel desk specialising in northern Queensland and a games room with pool table. The modern dorms are all air conditioned spacious and clean, painted in pastels and muted browns. The atmosphere here is quiet, but plans to add a bar to the property and upgrade the café are underway and should liven the place up quite a bit.

This hostel is in a rustic manor house full of antiques and old photos on the walls. It is brimming with character and the staff treat you like family. Unfortunately that means it has no social atmosphere and this may be as far away from a party you can get. The dorms are tidy and simple, they are all a bit different and some are nicer than others. The kitchen is limited. They offer a small TV lounge, laundry, internet and courtesy pick-ups.

This flashy hostel offers an exceptional standard of accommodation. The exterior looks like a big cement block, but inside it is bright, comfortable and clean. Each of the five stories is themed with one of the natural elements. Dorms are a bit cramped, but have en suite and separate toilets and showers. The Birdie Num Num bar is a popular hotspot in town where people come to play pool, mingle, and hang out in some of the big round canvas huts. There is a lap pool and large spa with a retractable stage over it for live music nights, as well as a movie room with big plush pillows for seating. All of this combines to form a great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and the travel desk is helpful. It is a great place to stay near Chinatown and Brunswick Street.
