Henry and Paula
The shared bathroom facilities were damaged and filthy, toilet bowls were clean.that was it. Beside the all night construction noise, some guests had no regard for others. The aircon poking through the window added to noise from outside because you couldnt close the window!! Not to mention the insects. The mattress is disgusting and needs at least a clean mattress protector if new clean mattresses can't be provided ... i was there for the impending death of a loved one and could not find a closer hotel..we just stayed out until we had to rest and then had limited respite from the kaos and filth
Ghislaine
The location was very convinient for me as I could walk wherever I needed to go. I also appreciated the flexibility to check in and out as I arrived and left very early morning.
The place itself is very old, which is fine with me but it's not looked after properly, the lift and 3 out of 4 showers can't be used and are in a VERY poor state and that's only the little part that I had access to. An old building is full of charms and tells a story, it needs a lot more care and attention than a new building otherwise it quickly becomes a ruin!
I travelled the all night prior my arrival, early morning and I managed to sleep a bit on that day. But the next night was hell, I came back in my room around midnight, I had to get up at 5am to take a train, I didn't sleep much the night before so I was eager to get those 5 hours sleep. There was a huge party downstairs that lasted until very late as well as a women obviously drunk and even drugged shouting, yelling, swearing, injuring a man right in the hallway. it lasted untill very late that night.

Was not aware it was a backpackers, wotif kept calling it a “hotel”. Noisy, night club underneath, noisy from hallway. Would never go back.

Absolutely outdated hostel. The elevator doesn't work, the room was on the fifth floor. The room itself was tiny, no air conditioning and extremely loud.
Location is very central though.

My bed was infested with bed bugs and after raising my concern with staff they didn’t seem phased. There was hair under my sheets when I arrived and dust everywhere. The location is great but that was about it.

Okay stay. Crazy expensive for what you get.. extremely dated facilities, extra noisy rooms due to the walls having open vents, dirty, old and broken facilities like bathrooms and kitchen. Cold rooms. Fantastic location, free meal and drink for everyone with booking.
Luis
The building is falling apart. there's construction happening whilr youre there, the good thing about it used to be the bar down stairs that used to be busy now there's just nobody there.
Digby
Only issue was checking in - Nomads demand a passport for identification purposes - not sure why Wotif don’t tell their customers this?
Otherwise room and amenities ok - really convenient location

Covid-19 in Brisbane ‘20
Submission of this review lands on the 36th day of the WHO declaring Covid-19 a global pandemic. And 22 days into Queensland’s boarder closure.
My experience of/at Nomads Brisbane Hostel began a month ago and two days ago today. Upon booking in, I intended to stay for a week. Due to two circumstances, both extreme yet both largely unrelated (the later, however, being the boarder closure), it has become my home and for (?)…
Thankfully, as my form of exercise, so far the unexpected beauty of the city has revealed itself to me thru my camera lens.
Boasting 'We Beat Any Price’, Nomads is self assuredly safe within its competition. Therefore, condition wise, expect what you pay for. But in this time of global uncertainty, more importantly humanity wise, expect more.
Over the month, I’ve observed it become the beaming example of a place of necessity. Considering this time last week it housed 17 guests to its 500+ beds, if management has demonstrated the odd level of anxiety, it's a relief knowing that they are human. As the staff have adjusted to changes in law that are rewriting the book of hospitality from how, only weeks ago, we knew it.
But by doing so with kind yet firm measure over didactic discipline, the guests accordingly oblige - dropping the odd question where necessary. This has created a house of unity in a time of dispersion which is a credit to all concerned.
I highly recommend Nomads Brisbane Hostel by the best example of the present into a readjusting future

Liked the location which suited me , close to central station. I used nomads for 3-4 months in between going back to Melbourne and Sunshine Coast to visit my terminally ill brother on Sunshine Coast . I regularly purchased single room or 4 bed dorm night by night so I must have spent thousands there . After first few weeks I asked staff if I could leave my big bag there as I will be back next day which was fine .
I regularly extended in the morning if I knew I was staying in Brisbane that day or I checked out if there was a chance of me being called up to Sunshine Coast . Often I would hang out in common rooms like many others who had checked out and awaiting transport etc etc . I would often rebook late in evening , either coming back from coast or if in brissy . The regular night shift guy was very pleasant to deal with and knew my booking would always come through if he seen me there . The last time I stayed there I checked out ad usual and was in and out of common room through out day . I didn’t end up making a booking that night as I was told about a 24 hour Internet cafe so I decided to work there for the night . I had to come back to my bag after midnight to get a SIM card , which took 2 mins then I left .
Seems a couple of the ani Australian staff members didn’t like this and felt need to get me banned by the manager . I was not told , back on sunny coast a couple days and rebooked and found out trying to check in . Spent 4 k at that place - lovely

Great location, and pleasant staff. Good value for the money. Complicated code system to open room, especially tricky to enter in the dark! But would stay here again.

Nomad's was a lot cozier than I expected! I love the old school elevator and the shared bathrooms were very clean. The location and surroundings are incredible as well!

Friendly and helpful staff. Room was advertised as a single room with twin bed but had a small single. Nothing else in room at all (Jug, TV, No towels etc)

It's a great place to stay in brisbane if you want to be close to everything. It's a little bit noisy and there is sometimes a lot of people in the common areas. The building is kinda old and they could use a revamp in the showers and toilets. The staff is super nice.

Ok stay
Room was very tiny & very hot. Bed was comfy & everywhere was clean. My main issue was the man trying very forcefully to make me book a trip to Fraser Island.. after making it clear I wouldn’t be booking today as I had other friends to meet up with & discuss the rest of our plans , he was extremely pushy & in the end rude.. not a good way to try get people to book activities through Nomads!!!

Two night stay
Staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and secure. Even though I was on a floor with mostly private rooms, it was very noisy and I had a hard time sleeping. The hostel is right across the street from the train station, which was convenient, and near plenty of restaurant options.
Verified traveler
Ok hostell, close to central station, bath rooms shared with entire floor, cinda old bathrooms
Verified traveler
Dryer took 3 hours of drying to dry one load, bathrooms dirty, especially the sinks, WiFi is lacking and only free in the lobby which lacks sufficient comfortable seating. Laundry costs and arm and a leg. Self-proclaimed party hostel but doesn't allow Alcohol in rooms and visitors can't stay past 7pm. I expect this is due to their partnership with the down under bar that's on the basement level.

Rooftop room lights
All the lights are not working outside the rooftop rooms. Also, there should be chairs outside the rooms for those who don't want to sit with or join the rooftop parties. Internet signal was bad inside rooms. You have to go outside for better signal
Verified traveler
Close to center but wouldn't recommend
Staff were very friendly And tried to be helpful! But the rooms and bathrooms were not clean. The Aircon sucked and there are only about 3 outlets in an 8 person room. When i told the staff the aircon wasn't working and the other girls in my room had already claimed the 2 fans he said \"well thats unfortunate\". A very large hostel where everyone is looking for a job. So don't stay here as a solo backpacker trying to meet people. Saw cockroaches my first day and the staff told me this is normal for Australia. And there was some other type of small bug in the lockers. Hostel is very large, way too many people and it's def a party hostel. Had trouble with my keycard 4 different times so I had to run up and down the stairs about 20 times. Which isn't to fun at 11pm when I want to sleep and everyone in the room is asleep so I can't just knock on the door. Kitchen is large which was good since there was so many people , did see a bug in the dry storage area. If you are looking for a job the hostel will help you search! And there is also a travel agent desk in the lobby to book tours. Again the staff were great , especially the man from New Zealand. He was cool !

Nice location but only location
Loudly all the time, disgusting kitchen, poor bathroom, horrible escalators.
Am
Buzzing noise
You can expect a youth hostel in the middle of the city to be noisy, but nothing prepared me for the loud buzzing noise in my (private) room, which came from the bathroom ventilator. Earplugs were useless for this kind of noise. Even though I paid in advance for 2 nights, I got out of this hostel at 6.30 AM to get away from the buzz. They don't refund and the staff was apologetic, I got the feeling she heard that complaint before. Anyway, it's probably fine if you're drunk or not so sensitive to this kind of thing. If you are sensitive, ask for a room as far away from the bathrooms as possible. Cheers.

perfect central location, very big hostel, sometimes long waiting time at reception as many people check-in/out. Noise level was a problem, very loud music and bass coming from the bar in the cellar. Despite my room being on the 4th floor, my walls were shaking and the music could still be heard, even at 3.00 am! Wifi only in reception area, not in the rooms.
Alex
My observations.
Did not have any issues with check in/out. To get to 4th floor via lift you must have some physical abilities to hold external and internal doors of the carriage. As one girl said-\"private room\", hardly can call it private. At the moment when I open my door, everyone will wake up from a double squeak, then floor board will repeat sound of the door, when you step on it. Above every door there decorative holes, which means, doors are not sound proof. Walls inside of the room are stained from different generations stickers. Window can not be properly opened or closed. In the shower you don't have where to put your dry or/and dirty clothes. When you are trying to adjust water temperature, tap heads are falling on your bare feet. Loud music is banging until 3am with screams and loughs, possibly tenants need ear plugs. Had experience to go toilet in the bar downstairs. Entire floor was sticky and door was not closing and locking. Otherwise beer was nice with discount as a hostel tenant. There are many people of different backgrounds live in. My main concern is- cheap does not mean neglected, it is too disrespectful in many aspects.
Thank you.
Thank you.

This hostel is located right next to central station, so it is very convinient. There are many shops and malls within walking distance. I'd like to thank them for receiving a important package for me, and the receptionist gave it to me as soon as I checked in even before I asked for it.

Party hostel - ridiculously loud until 3am every day. I was on the roof and the room was still shaking. Also an absolute sweatbox with no air conditioning. Lift was also a pain to operate. Not recommended unless you are here to drink and party all night long every night.

AVOID!! Backpacker budget or not DONT STAY
this place is appalling wouldve rather stayed in a homeless shelter than this pig stye by the end of my stay
ive worked in 2 but stayed in so many hostels over the last 2.5 yrs so have had my share of bad experiences with hostels & know sometimes youre just unlucky but this is a new low. I will give it its positives:
+ the wifi in the lobby works which can be rare
+ central station is opposite so good transport access
Negatives however are terrible:
- you can feel & hear the music from the bar which is underground from 2 stairs up in the hostel until 4am-ish
- the inside of the hostel is as humid & hot as outside = rooms stank of everyone sweating
- there was generally a loud argument/fight to be heard late every night from the room
- we had 1 powersocket with an extension lead on another to power a portable fan, a dehumidifier that was building up a smelly bowl of water plus 8 people's phones etc in rotation. its a major hazard, must be a H&S issue.
- the hostel got trashed every night, often found food & cutlery spilled over wet floors in the hallways in the morning.
Worst hostel ive been in the world. Never thought id be able to make such a drastic statement but i stand by it. this isnt even a get what you pay for situation its just terrible. Do yourself a favour, stay elsewhere
however 1 staff member id like to thank is Nicola. She was notably helpful the times i spoke to her on reception & never made it seem like i was a burden which some did particularly at night.

Showed and toilets were ages away from the room - with no directions to get to them. The walls were paper thin - so enjoy waking up once an hour through the night. Not many power points and no individual lights. Old facilities. Have to pay for wifi and breakfast. Felt like they were trying to get extra money when ever they could add a fee. Great location though.

Great backpackers for socialising
Great backpackers for socialising, not for those who like peace and quiet though as there is a pub on the basement level which plays loud music late into the night. Beds are fine, great water pressure/hot showers. Nice kitchen. Quick checkin/checkout. Friendly staff. I'd stay again

This hostel needs some work
The location of this hostel was great, but the hostel itself needs some work. The building is old, but there are still things that could be done to improve the comfort and quality of the hostel. The rooms were pretty grim, and the grill above the doors meant that it was really noisy at night. It also made you feel quite unsafe if you woke up to noises outside your door, as it sounded like they were in your room. It seems unnecessary to charge $5 for cutlery. Overall not a very pleasant stay, but close to the station at least.

Too noisy!! No sleep
Really noisy! If you want to get sleep then don't stay here!!!!! Room was also not the cleanest with stains on walls and no mattress toppers.

Superb Location and Fantastic Staff
The hostel was directly in front of us once we got out of the airtrain from the airport. How cool is that? If you've luggage and are merely staying for just one night, this place is a no brainer! The staff were cheery, helpful and eager to please. There was a locker (bring your own lock), the bed and mattress perfectly adequate and the room was clean and reasonably warm despite it being the start of winter. The downstairs bar was closing when we arrived but they directed us to The Guilty Rogue for our late lunch and we were given 20% off on producing our key.
Though the ladies' bathrooms and toilets were clean, 2 out of the 4 bathrooms were write offs. There were 2 more ladies toilets further down the corridor. Sadly all the lifts were out of order but one of the staff was assigned to help guests with luggage. You have to pay a refundable deposit AUD 5 for the use of a set of cup and cutlery. The whole place can do with a new coat of paint. The building was a beautiful restored historical building and you can have a great view of the surrounding area. I didn't expect a lot for the comparatively LOW price I paid and overall it exceeded my realistic expectations.

Excellent location but thats it
I stayed in a private room booked online and upon check-in the staff member advised I had not paid for my room despite me advising I had and tried to double charge me. After 20 minutes spent waiting at reception and showing my email confirmation he finally let me up to my room. There isn't much in the room other than a bed and lamp. After getting to sleep the fire alarm went off at 3am for a good 10-20 minutes. Not the best night and the floors creak whenever people walk down the halls. The vibe that the staff have going is good and the red headed lady at reception in the morning on checkout was very friendly and helpful. If it's location your after this place is great.

It's the location !
It was very convenient, I could get to the train or bus less than 1 minutes and some interesting points were just around walking area,
Unfortunately, one room guest stay over night with laud music on his PC so I couldn't sleep well.
It's center of CBD, some noise wasn't avoid.,,,

would have been a much more comfortable stay had the air con worked properly, couldn't sleep till midnight due to heat in building even though air con was apparently on constantly, and tv/lounge area felt heated rather than cool and was extremely under size for number of guests seating for 5 with 100+ guests, but generally nothing ud be overly dissappointed with, just needs a little tlc n some good ideas

Good cheap option, great location
Always have a good stay, good option for a cheap stay in the city. Bar underneath is good fun too with cheap meals

Room was dirty and smelly. Wouldn't stay there ever again. Staff, however, were very nice.

Not what I expected
I booked a twin room with my friend 6 weeks before we were to stay for 2 nights, and chose this hostel as it was close to central. When we arrived we were put in a double bed room, which was very small and quite run down (not what it looked like on the website). I went back down and spoke to reception, who moved us to a twin room, but it was still very run down. The aircon didn't provide any help (or maybe didn't work at all) during the hot nights, and the only way to keep the heavy windows open to get some air in was to use the bin to hold the window up. Also, the grates above the door had no glass or plastic to cover the holes, so there was no privacy in the room and nothing to filter the noise of people walking up and down the halls all night (or having sex down the hallway). Wouldn't stay here again...

You get what you pay for
When you stay here dont expect a hotel life of luxury...
I stayed for 6 days in a 1 private bedroom and it was affordable and cheap. Staff were very good.
Its very convinient.. The only thing i didnt like was taking showers and the male cleaners are there waiting for you to finish and being woken up by them so they can empty bin in your room.
Otherwise its good.

It's only the location...
Nothings beats the location of this hostel! However, the 8-bed dorm I stayed in had exactly one window that could be opened - right above the night club and a busy road. Noise level is constantly high. Shower facilities are old and not well maintained. Reception staff never looked up when I was waiting. Bed linen is clean. Mattresses are worn - you can feel the springs. Shame it doesn't seem to bother with comfort.

Party hostel!
If you're looking for somewhere to meet people and have a great time for a few days this is the place! Although no actual social area, rooms are big enough to meet and socialise in, there is a pretty cheap bar attached and a club. Barely slept during my stay, but not too much of an issue for me. A lot of people were here long term with jobs in the city or looking for jobs. Whole place feels a bit run down but pretty clean. Amazing location, easy bus and train routes to get about.

One night stay before flight. Great location. Good hostle.

Purely review for single room not dorms
Base is great in a big dorm where you stay to party but was far from ideal in a single room for a quieter trip. The room was on the roof top terrace and the window was next to a large chimney which was twice as load as an aircon unit. Impossible to sleep through. The bathroom is further along the roof top meaning you have to go outside again to get there, just to be aware of. Can get more for money if needing a single room and not there to party. Staff are mainly short term backpackers so don't have much experience on the desk.

slightly let down.
It was what you would expect of a backpackers, slightly busy and noisy, but pleasant enough. No help in lost property dept. Phoned twice, no reply. Lost property is just that....Lost.

Seriously frill free
Think of the bare minimum a person needs to survive, add a whole lot of drunk backpackers yelling and spewing all over the place at all the hours and you've got the Base.
Enjoy.
However it was really really close to Central Station.

Good location in the Brisbane CBD
Nice hotel in the CBD of Brisbane. Just stayed overnight for 6 hours as had early morning flight the next day. Central location however basic room (tallboy and a bed with nothing else). Probably would not stay here if was more than one night but if on a budget and after a basic room would recommend. Great for budget travelers,students and backpackers
Robert
Cheap central Hostel
Clean comfortable room without frills. Area noisy due to Construction site opposite Adjacent bar has good well priced meals

Not recommend for a quiet night
The room is clean but the bathroom is intolerable. Also, it's really noisy at night as I stayed on the 1st floor. I choose it just because I only took a short stay in Brisbane and it's quite cheap. I would never go to this hostel again.

Convenient
First things first, you get what you pay for. It a great location, and has what you need if you are looking for somewhere to crash. If you are looking for anything but a room, a bed, and a questionable shared bathroom, look elsewhere - but thankfully, this is exactly what we were after.
Would recommend to others looking for the same, but maybe avoid in the middle of summer, would get quite how in those rooms.

All good BUT...
Very noisy from about 10pm to 4am. Ear plugs won't do it because the music is so loud that the hotel actually vibrates from the bar below, and I was on the fourth floor.

Bad
I think that tinbilly is better than central. I stayed room for 8 persons. Room was very small and I couldn't put my luggage in room. Besides, in shower room, shower was broken. Actually, I will never use central x-base.
Verified traveler
Convenient but a lot of external noise.
Loud music in the background presumably from a nearby nightclub went on until about 3 am. It was difficult to sleep. The elevator was unreliable.

Better than expectation
A good stay close right in city. Very convenient if your looking for a cheap stay.

Exelent position, but old structure.
The roof were leaking.
Many toilets were out of order.

It wasnt a very good or bad experience. It could be told like a hotel enough for sleepingnat night. Still, wasnt very bad either

4 Days stay in Brisbane
The hostel was good but the lift has to be more modern and fixed. The overrall service and con dition was so good. It is central and accessible to all public transport and key brisbane location which made my stay and purpose of visit very easy.
