Overall it was a really poor experience. Unfortunately I also had two girls in my dorm that had trashed the room and wouldn’t clean up. The bathrooms were gross and overall subpar cleanliness. I was supposed to stay four nights and I had a new hostel booked by the morning after the first night.

Easy to get to and from the greyhound stop, the beds were clean and comfortable, kitchen was big enough for the amount of people and cleaned twice a day. Had unisex bathrooms but were clean. Only downsides were the showered were tiny and the room we were in had no natural light

Hostelworld says

The clean and quiet Chill Backpackers is an easy walk from most of downtown Brisbane. In fact, this hostel has excellent views over the city and the river from its rooftop terrace. It also has laundry facilities, a jobs board, car parking, a pool table and more. Several Hostelworld guests have told us that "the roof top is a great place to get in contact with others, for pre-gaming and to chill".
