Habitat Backpackers

The 50 bed shared dorm was a horrible experience, the mess in this hostel room was insane. I felt very unsafe here especially with no lockers. The dorm room was uncomfortably hot with only fans that were very loud making it hard to sleep here. I would not at all recommend the 50 bed dorm room and definetly overpaid.

Good hostel for one night transfer in Brisbane

The hostel is incredibly hot. Old fans that make more noise than actual circulation. Very obvious that lots of the people staying there are very long term. Not very friendly or welcoming as a group, lots of people just sat around. Very noisy hostel too. Toilets/showers are not cleaned properly.

Good social atmosphere although not too suitable for solo travelers as there are many longtermers. Bathrooms are unisex but every shower/toilet is in its own cabin. Kitchen is spacious and mostly clean but because the kitchen is outside under a roof it was sometimes hard to cook proberly on the stove. Room was way too small for 14 people and had no air conditioning. Instead we had 8 fans in the room blasting warm air around so no fresh air and room was constantly very hot and stuffy.

Not great. The kitchen was pretty dirty and the wifi didn’t work

There's no air conditioning; the room is like a sauna.

Staff waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Leider hat das Hostel keine AC und es war super heiss und schwül. Es gab (laute) Ventilatoren, auch im Zimmer. Das Schlafen war daher eher schwierig in den heissen, stickigen und lauten Rümlichkeiten. Die Atmosphäre an sich war cool. Die Küche wurde von den Nutzer:innen nicht gut aufgeräumt. Ich bin froh, dass ich dort nicht kochen musste.

Good hostel with lot of equipments (gym area, big open kitchen, movie area, laundry, ping-pong table….)

ich war für eine nacht im habitat backpackers & das hat mir gereicht! nichts in dem hostel ist richtig sauber, sei es küche, gemeinschaftsbereich oder toilette. ich glaube nicht, dass es am staff liegt, eher an den leuten, die sich in diesem hostel aufhalten. niemand räumt hinter sich selbst auf & alles wird liegengelassen! wäre ich alleine dort gewesen, hätte es mich komplett überfordert! wenn möglich würde ich das hostel vermeiden, vor allem als solotraveller/in. es ist das gesparte ge...

good for 2 nights

Auberge correcte pour une nuit pas plus. Gros dortoir très bordélique avec très peu de rangement, il y faisait vraiment chaud, et en plus les sanitaires/douches étaient peu nombreux et pas les plus cleans... Ça dépanne pour une nuit mais je n'y passerais pas toutes mes vacances.

I stayed extra!!

The staff were accommodating of late checkin and it was a really smooth process but the dorm room was really small and cluttered for the amount of people in there.

This is a great backpackers with a good environment, and really lovely staff that go above and beyond. There was onsite parking available for $10 so special thanks to the staff for being accomodating and helpful with that. They also let me store my bag overnight when I was away for 1 night before returning for no extra charge. The location is also fantastic. The only reason I took off 1 star is because the room’s aren’t A/ced (only one dorm has this). This is wild for Brisbane :( Please fix!

Lovely staff who gave us an ice lolly on arrival. Flies all over the kitchen, because it’s open plan. There are fans in the room but I unfortunately had the one bed where none of the fans were pointed to, so it was so warm. The showers are clean but are very claustrophobic.

Staff are quite nice, but wouldn’t recommend staying in summer. Heat is pretty unbearable in the rooms

Pretty cool Hostel. Stayed there twice and was really happy. They have really great common rooms.

Amazing hostel! Spacious common area to relax and meet new people, with plenty of fans. The staff are all very friendly, smiling, and always ready to help if you need any information or assistance. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the CBD and 5 minutes to Coles. Great value for money in Brisbane — highly recommended!

Had a great stay, very clean and comfortable, the staff were extremely welcoming

What was meant to be a few days quickly turned into weeks, then months. The hostel has a warm, homely feel, and if you’re missing family or friends while travelling, you’ll likely find something familiar here. The mix of people from different countries and age groups makes the experience truly unique. The staff are incredible and couldn’t do enough to help you. The hostel is clean and very well maintained, a special mention to Budhi who is a testament to the hostel and a friend of everyone...
