Brisbane Travel Forum

I am looking for a hostel to stay at in Brisbane - I have googled for some but am not sure which neighbourhood would be the best to stay in. Any suggestions will be greatly received! :)

you didn't mention your budget?

anyway..i stayed at this place called Central Hillcrest in South Brisbane http://www.centralhillcrest.com.au/ the twin-bedded room was A$109/night.

the apartment was walking distance to South Bank (& across the bridge to the CBD) as well as near to the subway station.

Sorry,

Thanks for your reply, I am looking for a Hostel rather than a Hotel - so am on a very limited budget, I think most dorms run around $30AUD per night - am not too fussed on a few dollars difference if it means I will be more central to the attractions. :)

As far as I know there is still a small hostel on the first floor. You do have to go down the alley at night for entry but that was OK. It was clean upstairs with views into the street and a sitting room and a tea making place as well If you reply with details I could phone and find out if it is still available.

Heaps of Back/P accommodation in Brisbane, cheap. Try Central Backpackers - this is in city. Close to main rail, bus transport terminal,(if you want to travel to Gold Coast (sth of Bris) or the Sunshine Coast (Nth of Bris). You can catch also catch bus/trains to all over Qld from this terminal. Or try Place Back/P in the City. Any backpackers in the city should be ok. There are also some in New Farm. New Farm is about a 8/10 min bus ride to the city ($2.60 aud) New Farm can be a bit seady at night, so be a little bit careful. It has heaps of restuarants, and has some really interesting and colourful personalities around. Having said that it has some very expensive and beautiful areas too. Blue Tongue Backpackers, Brisbane Homestead are some in New Farm. Fortitude Valley and Spring Hill are also intercity areas, same sort of area as New Farm, but closers to the city as New Farm. Kookaburra Inn Back/P, Prince Consort Back/P and Valley Verancs-Friendly Back/P. Hope helps, enjoy.
