Chill Backpackers

Perfect location only 15 mins walk from the main city. The staff were extra friendly but rooms were tiny and the walls are paper thin, so was very loud in even the private rooms. It felt uninviting and cramped but overall was a cheap stay in Brisbane

I really enjoyed my time at Chill Backpackers! The staff were really friendly and super helpful. The location is really close to so many things, especially if you're just wanting to explore. The rooms are really clean and have quite a lot of space. There are mixed and women's bathrooms, which I found really good. They have a rooftop, which was a cool place just to chill out, as well as has a pool table and a TV room up there. Wifi works all around the building and is an awesome spot for backpackers or people just wanting cheap accommodation. They have limited parking but it's first in best dressed! Thanks to all of the staff for being amazing - I will definitely be coming back to stay when I come back to Brisbane!

When I arrived the door was locked and I never received a code to get in so I had to wait for someone to leave so I could enter as the phone was never answered. My bed was extremely uncomfortable and the rooms are very small with no open window so it’s stuffy with little to no space to put your bags. Worst thing was that I was told to pay for an extra week so that I would not lose my room, yet I said I was unsure when I may leave but was told that was fine. Had to check out suddenly due to an emergency and was told I was not being allowed my refund of 288$. Not a single penny, but that was never discussed to me. No one would allow me to speak to a manager, was never told there were no refunds and as a backpacker having little money, losing this amount has hit me hard.

This is not a hostel for backpackers it is a halfway house full of junkies. The whole places stinks and is filthy. We stayed for 4 nights and on the night we checked in someone had thrown up in the sink of the ladies toilets on level 2, there was still puke in the sink when we checked out. Disgusting. No one did their dishes, I jade to was everything before I used it. the showers were not very clean & hair everywhere. Do not stay here.

Do not stay here unless you enjoy feeling so scared you can’t go to the bathroom alone. This place is filthy, our room had some kind of brown sauce ( we hope) splashed all over the walls and a thick layer of dust along the bunk beds, the carpet is covered in stains. The corridors stink of feet and our room by the balcony constantly smelt like ****. The only window in our room looked out onto the corridor where the light was left on all night. the bathrooms were mixed gender and absolutely disgusting, nowhere to dry your hands, males urinating with the doors open, awoken each morning to the smell of **** and someone vomiting in the bathroom. Signs everywhere telling you to lock away valuables at reception, should have taken the hint. You can’t get into the hostel without Almost getting stumbled into by someone off there face on *****. 1 star for the pleasant guy on reception for storing our bags, if we knew what we were in for we never would have stayed. We have paid a lot less to stay in much nicer hostels, or at least ones where you don’t feel you need to sleep holding your wallet. Do not stay here especially as a female, we have stayed in hostels all over Australia and have never felt so unclean and unsafe.
