Located in New Farm, which is about a 20 min walk to China Town (Fortitude Valley) or a 30 minute walk to the CBD. You can also catch a bus to the city (a bus stop is just about 100 meters from the reception) but I prefer walking because I just love the view of the Brisbane CBD/Story Bridge. I... More

Nice little place. A little bit out of town if you really want to be close to the shops etc, but an authentic old Queensland property. Front desk very helpful and rooms homely and well catered. As mentioned in previous reviews this is an old property so occasionally you can hear a little more of the world out there than... More

The rooms are simple, but tidy. Toilet, shower and kitchen are nice and clean. The area outside is nice and the location in New Farm is very good. There is nice interaction with the other people in the common room, if that is what you want of course. Overall very good value for money. I rented a dorm room. More

I think the previous review by ErikSolum is a little unfair. I stayed at Bowen Terrace just a couple of days before and found the landlady, Maria, perfectly friendly and extremely helpful. Nor did I find dirt, unclean areas or litter in the public areas. Lets face it, this is budget accommodation by Australian price standards, taking into account the... More

Hi Pete-Fran Thank you for your accurate review of Bowen Terrace, I was stunned and speechless when I read ErikSolum review, as you know Bowen Terrace is cleaned and kept tidy everyday, yes the walls are very thin in our 99 year old Queenslander, Bowen Terrace is located 1.5 ks from the city in Brisbanes most expensive suburb and is...

Bowen Terrace Int accommodation is located in a very nice old Queenslander and it COULD have been an amazing place to stay if it was not for the bad service. The landlady was very unfriendly who did nothing to make us feel welcome. When we booked the room we specifically required a quiet room but we were put right next... More

Probably a bit expensive for what you get. No air conditioning which was just unbearable in over 30 degree heat. The upstairs bathroom should be a separate shower and toilet as it's very annoying if someone is in the shower for absolutely ages and you just need a wee. There is a shower and toilet down stairs too though, but... More

The accommodations here range from B&B 'style' to budget friendly shared dormitory rooms. It is a lovely old property, clean and very spacious. The downstairs kitchen is large and equipped with basic necessary cooking items and utensils and some essential foods such as: margerine, sugar, tea and coffee. I stayed in the shared 4 person dormitory so I'm not sure... More

We loved the location. It's near to Brunswick St and Fortitude Valley, where you can experience Brisbane night life and foods. Chinatown is there as well. The only thing we don't like about the room is the thin wall. We can hear the people walking outside our room so expect to be woken up when people starts to move in... More
