YHA Brisbane City

Zero stars. The male receptionist with a South American accent is exceptionally rude and tried to prevent me from retrieving my luggage from the luggage room and accused me of not being a paid guest despite the fact that I was and have stayed there many times before. I would avoid this place unless you want to be treated without any respect.

YHA never depressed you! But I have to say the bed here in YHA Brisbane is really amazing that I sleep quite well these two days! And ofc the staff, always kind and supportive! Would love to be here again! By the way the bar here is nice toooooo

The hostel seemed brand new. The private room was perfect, almost like an hotel. We really enjoyed our stay there. Thank you YHA

Unfortunately had a very horrible experience at YHA Brisbane when a male member of staff entered my room without any reason of authorisation while I wasn’t clothed and in bed. Apparently this was a mistake as a guest had told him it was their room but the staff member made no effort to double check these details or knock so I have been left feeling completely shaken as a female solo traveller. Some attempt was made by Jordan at the hostel to try resolve this but unfortunately the damage has been done and it has completely tainted my time in Brisbane. I would not return to YHA Brisbane and would advise any female solo travellers to be careful

The room stank and the mattress was very springy. Reception was unattended when I checked out so I had nowhere to leave my luggage.

I initially booked a bed in the 4-bed dorm but figured it was not for me. The rooms are smaller than those in YHA Sydney Central. The receptionist catered to my concerns and I then booked a double bed with shared bathroom, which was good overall. I never used the kitchen but it’s spacious and has a lot of utensils and cooking amenities. It’s close to the Southern Cross Station, where the airport link bus stops.
