Banana Backpackers - Petrie Terrace, Queensland

This hostel is great especially as I was staying in Brisbane for a while. The hostel is very relaxed. The beds are very comfortable and the air conditioning is great. The kitchen is a slightly small so isn’t great during busy times. I really enjoyed the relaxed vibes and would recommend. All the people here are very friendly and nice. Ben and Summer are both super friendly and helpful.

If you're traveling on a tight budget, want a central location, and don’t mind some compromises, Banana Backpackers is a solid pick. It's functional, social, and includes the essentials—perfect for meeting others and exploring Brisbane without spending much. But if cleanliness and upgraded facilities are priorities, you might want to spend a bit more.

Staff was super friendly. They made everyone feel at home and had great recommendations around the city. I really appreciated how helpful Summer and Julia were. I would recommend installing more plug outlets in the rooms, it could be a bit challenging charging devices if they were all being used but luckily there were common areas to charge as well. It was a convenient spot as well to watch a rugby game close by to the stadium.

This is my second stay in Banana Backpackers now. It has a chilled friendly vibe.

The staff are friendly and welcoming, any issues they’re happy to help.

The set up of the place really makes it easy to socialise and to meet new people.

It’s an affordable yet clean hostel, I felt I could enjoy a shower and there were no funny smells (which I have experienced in previous hostels). I like that they give you your own cutlery, plate, bowl and cup.

The location is right next to the Barracks shopping centre, where there’s a Coles, the train station is a 5 minute walk and the city centre is only a 10-15 min walk, there’s also bus stops in the area. It’s an ideal location.

Great place to stay in Brisbane! The staff are all absolutely lovely and genuinely want to make your stay as good as it can be! The beds are comfy (best than most hostels). The place is clean. Only down side is the small kitchen, you might need to wait a bit during the dinner rush.

Price is very good but comes at a cost. The place just isn't clean. Even if it is a good price to stay at I would like to think it would still be clean. I have stayed at many hostels in the past for a similar price with similar facilities but they have mostly been clean, but this one unfortunately doesn't fall under the same bracket. Kitchen and toilet facilties were regularly dirty during our stay and our private dorm wasn't anything great either. We wiped the window side with tissue and it was covered in dirt. It is also very noisy as all the rooms are very close to reception and the entrance to the hostel. Wifi is also offered to guests but it is pretty much non existent. On a positive note the staff are very friendly and helpful.

The people are really nice here and the staff is awesome. It is one of the cheapest hostels in Brisbane, but it is still tidy. And the hostel is really close to the CBD, the Southbank and one of the biggest stations in town.

The best hostel atmosphere we’ve stayed at. |There’s no bar, so everyone actually takes the time to sit and chat with one another and just chill out.|It’s not a party place which really suited us, you could have the craic but also go to bed at a normal hour and not having other guests running in and out of the room. |Staff very super friendly
