Hostels in Queensland, Australia

Great place for a young crowd, backpackers, solo travelers - feels like a very social place. A bit much if you're older or someone who wants a quieter stay. They have beautiful rooftop, very big shared kitchen, some activities you can sign up for and decent wifi. A bit of a walk to get to places but not significant. Separate rooms have bathroom, electric kettle. Could have had better storage areas, bedside tables were tiny. Air-conditioning present and cooled the room down well but old system, so couldn't control temperature well and direction of air so it ended up blowing too hard and straight at you. Overall good value, just some quirks to be aware of.

I stayed at the Civic Guesthouse before I got a room in Townsville. I felt that it was a really good place to manage. I used a four-person room, but it was not very uncomfortable because there were several shared toilets and bathrooms, and the staff were all friendly ㅎㅎㅎ I want to introduce you to my friends.

I want to say a special Thank You to Rafael who makes me feel welcomed. His smile is always authentic and warm, making me truly a guest and not worried about being first time to Australia. So, he is a genuine asset of the hostel. Besides, check in and check out are super fast and efficient. The bathroom is very clean and spacious. There is hot water in the basins with hand wash provided. Above the basin is a very big mirror, so you can do make-up in the bathroom. The shower's water pressure is high enough, and you can move the shower head freely. So, it's perfect for backpackers who want to take a good shower and refresh themselves. In the room, there are 2 electrical outlets on the bedside. So it's very convenient for charging your phone and using your laptop on the bed.

Wooow!! The staf were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nice. The bathroom also clean. The kitchen offering you a nice cooking experience they provide you all you need for cooking

Only complaint is the location, because buses to Brisbane center has long waiting time. Though it forces this hikikomori to walk more along the beautiful river coast. It is advisable to rent a vehicle beforehand. Also there seems not to be convenience store/supermarket nearby. As for amenities, there is laundry + dryer (AUD 4 + 4) and shared kitchen. But there are no towel, slipper, toothbrush/shaver/shampoo/body wash, so remember to bring your own.

I booked a basic double room, and the room was brighter when the lights were on. There are night markets on both sides of the hotel, and the front faces the sea. It is cost-effective, and the hygiene is average. It will feel very hot and humid without air conditioning, so the air conditioning is used 24 hours a day. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator, which is suitable for cooking.

The location is a 10min walk from the airport. Infrastructure is ok, but could be much better entertained and serviced. Also the was rubish on various places. The bathrooms could be cleaned more often. Sorry to say. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. A bus station is opposit the YHA, a high frequent road must be crossed very carefully.

I had a really nice and relaxing stay here. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I especially appreciated the free shuttle bus—it made getting around so much easier! The kitchen and laundry were useful, and the atmosphere was chill with other travelers. Breakfast service also awesome!! I’d love to come back someday!

Was nervous due to past reviews, but found the reception staff friendly and helpful & the facilities really good. The room was basic but location was walkable and, whilst a little noisy at night sometimes, the other guests were kind and considerate. Would stay again!

Overall a good stay. Lucky enough to have only 2 person in a 8-bed female dormitory.
