    Was a little confusing that the entry was via the back gate.

    Was just staying for a short stop over before heading to the airport in the morning. Clean tidy and quiet, just what I was looking for.

    The room could not be locked; the curtains let in light, and the room had only a small fan; it was very hot.

    Great value for money. Considering the shared facilities, it was kept pretty clean.

    friendly young man greeted me, showed me to my room and offered to book a taxi for my early departure the following morning. I was impressed with price, quiet and away from noisy city sounds.

    Well, it is good property for its money. You have you own room, which is pretty much what you want. You won’t find anything worth now in Brisbane for less than $80 a night Doesn’t have washing machine to wash your clothes inside. That might be improved however.

    Close to Woolworth. Close to train station. Relatively close to the city centre.

    Minimal shower water pressure, uneven access pathway. Otherwise spot-on for my requirements.

    Ideal location for early flight. Cosy little quiet room, comfortable bed, quiet housemates, pleasant host, no traffic noise. Great value.

    It’s hard to check in I’m trying to ring the owner and they’re cancelling my call! And when I message them they giving instructions one by one that they think you should know how to open the door and where you are going. One question one answer! It’s like abandoned house

    Need ed place for one night to catch flight early morning. Didn't want to spend too much so it was perfect for single person on a budget. But still with the cost of the room and Uber return trip it was still $150 Uber and room. But nothing is cheap in Australia or anywhere. It seems these days, it was in a private home. They made you feel as comfortable as you can, Being in somebody else's home. It didn't bother me. I just needed a good night's sleep. The hosts were friendly. Didn't really see any stores or restaurants close by, but I didn't look very hard. For what I need it and it was what I expected. It was fine.

    Disappointing

    • Solo traveller

    The bed was extremely low to the ground and tough to sleep on. There were only two power points in the room, located far away from the bed - I had to buy a power board to charge my things with it. The room was also very small. There was only one key for the front door, and if you returned to the house without the key but while the owners were out, it was kind of bad luck to you. If it had been cheaper, it may have been worth it, but it was more expensive than it was worth.

    The owners were friendly, the location was nice, and it was pretty clean. There was a standing fan.

    It's not a homestay but a room in a shared house!! No lock on bedroom door. Poor lighting in bedroom. Shared lounge but no furniture to sit on to watch tv. No table or chairs in shared kitchen. Few crockery or cutlery items. Bed did not have a top sheet but a blanket instead. Shared bathroom but no separate toilet!! Building very old and in desperate need of repainting.

    Location suited my purposes

    Great budget accomidation. Large room comfortable bed very clean. I've been a sole female traveller for almost 20 years so I am very familiar with budget accomidation and for the price this place is great it's very clean a nice vibe (feels like a share house) and a good location walking distance to shops cafes and train station in a nice neighbourhood.
