horrible stay, the office smelled like smoke and the elevator. housekeepers came in the room while we were sleeping. went in the room, we found a pubic hair on the bed and left over rubbish under the bed. left over belongings from previous persons. and the blankets were dirty and had bubble gum on it. also false advertisement, we certainly...

Having stayed at many hostels, this one is up there with the worst. On arrival the guy at reception was just plain rude. We stayed in something stupid like a 12 bed dorm which clearly was crammed into a very small place. I think people were actually living at this hostel and therefore treated it like their own, i was... More

I came in to Brisbane on the bus at 11.30pm and I had to fly out at 7.00am the next morning so this place was perfectly located as it's a 2 minute walk from the bus and train. You can jump on the train direct to and from the airport from here for $15 each way. I stayed in a... More

Just leaving after two great nights in Brisbane at Tinbillys. Pros - attached to really cheap (in oz terms) bar with regular promotions, two minutes from Roma street station. Really reasonable rate and fabulous staff. Ask them for recommendations and they come through. Go to Allens for breakfast, it's great! We stayed in 8 berth room, which was a bit... More

Spent just the one night at this hostel on January 4th, with my girlfriend in a 4-bed mixed dorm. Advantages - the location is very good being near to the Roma St station and within the CBD. All of the main tourist attractions and services are within walking distance. Despite the fact that the hostel has it's own bar, the... More

Having stayed in a number of hostels down the East Coast my friend and I thought we'd treat ourselves to a Diva Dorm in Tinbilly. We wonder now why we even bothered! We paid $38 a night for a 6 bed dorm and almost all the other people in the dorm were those who had paid for a normal 13... More

I stayed here on two separate occasions in November. My first stay was in a 4 person mixed dorm. All the rooms have an ensuite (which has it's advantages and disadvantages) and an air con unit. I loved that the room actually stayed cool and had air movement, unlike several other hostels I have stayed in. As with all hostel... More

I checked in for 3 nights and left my cell number on their form. The room was not especially clean and nothing seemed to work (i.e. the printer) but its a backpackers and you need to balance this against the budget of the girls/guys on the road. They threw my luggage out of the room the following day because they... More
