Bunk Brisbane

Ok so I stayed in this hostel for a few months and here’s an honest break down. The location of this place is amazing, right in the centre, close to the nightlife and shops Aswell as the metro which is very convenient. Here’s the downsides, the kitchen is disgusting, people don’t seem to know how to clean pans and plates and the cleaners do nothing about it also the opening times of the kitchen are inconvenient if you work nights. The staff for the most part are pretty friendly and pretty chatty. There is not really any social life in this hostel, if you’re travelling and wanting to meet people, this is absolutely NOT the place. Every room I was in had cockroaches in the toilet and shower. The WiFi literally never works and it seemed to be a dead zone for my mobile data, I’d get like 2 bars of signal maximum. The biggest killer about this hostel is how much they jack up the rent, at the end of my stay I was paying around $420 a week and they were trying to increase it to $500! to stay in an 8 person dorm which is absolute insanity!!! If you work full time on a casual contract it’s around half of your weekly paycheck! If you’re a traveller coming to Brisbane looking for a job like I did, do NOT stay here, your money will go insanely fast at this place, there are much cheaper alternatives that offer the same services. All in all, I can’t say I’d recommend this place to anyone, it has a special place in my heart cause I stayed here for months with my friends as we were trying to save every penny we could to move out, however the price can NOT be justified and it’s not a social place at all, so do what you will with this infomation…

I’ve traveled all around Australia and this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! Great price, air conditioning, unlimited hot water with good pressure. The cleaning staff do an excellent job. The menu prices for guests are amazing (only $13). I’ve never eaten so cheap, so tasty and well served in Australia, and they even give you complimentary wine/beer with your meal!!! The receptionist from Colombia was very kind, with great customer service skills and excellent English and Spanish. I will definitely stay here again!
