Great outdoor areas, chilled out vibe and good setup! Our room smelt a little bit moldy but the vibe of the place and the people made up for it. Rooms could do with a bit of an upgrade but it is a backpackers afterall. Would definetly recommend banana benders to fellow travelers over other hostels in Brisbane. More

We had searched online looking at various hostels throughout Brisbane from the UK as we were flying shortly after and needed a place to stay for a while. We really liked the look of Banana Benders, as well as the prices, so decided to give them a shout to ask them a few important questions. The main question we had... More

I have stayed in many hostels all over the world, and also many hotels. I stayed in Banana Benders hostel for a period of three months in total.

Me & my partner stayed here for 2 nights (double room with air-con) and found it is a very basic hostel. Limited space & bathroom. The main entrance's staircase is kind of troublesome for us with luggage. The location wise is pretty good as it is walking distance to Shopping mall & pub street. More

This place was not as friendly as I thought based on the reviews. I hardly got a welcome when I checked in and had to be asked to be shown the bathrooms/kitchen/laundry. The room was basic - a double bed and some shelves and unfortunately I wa right next to the water heater for the shower so was woken early... More
