Bluetongue Backpackers Brisbane

"The worst place I've ever been... what a shame ! Everything is dirty there. I found leafs,cigarrette butts, beers, animal and dirty bed sheet in the room. The common parts are dirty too. The shower haven't been cleaned in 2nights, and was really dirty... Dont go there, please. The owner gonna tell you to leave if you are not happy. I would never recommended a place like this... cheap (it's not cheap by the way) doesn't mean dirty !!!!"

"This place is great if you're a backpacker of the dirty European variety whose goal is to find themselves in Australia and really experience what it's like being in Brisbane by having beers with people you hardly know in some filthy backyard in a place that should probably be burnt down. The double bed in the private dorm was pretty uncomfortable, all the sheets were stained, doors everywhere were rotting away at the corners or had been eaten by rats, the shower was at least hot with good pressure but was in a small closed room with no vents and the lights didn't work in the toilets. I ventured into the kitchen in the morning to fill up my water bottle, was very glad I hadn't planned to cook or eat there as it was horribly disorganised, dirty dishes everywhere, and cooking utilities pretty gross. I didn't feel safe leaving possessions locked in my own room. There was also no manager or on site staff overnight, was very loud with traffic out the front and other guests were a bit loud, with no manager I worry things could get rowdy."

"This place is filthy, even for the price. They lack pretty much of everything basic. They have no kitchen towels, no mugs for coffee, and when asked why, manager said "because people will steal them". The toilets and showers are disgusting, the sink is disgusting and hardly usable. You'll find boogers on the walls here and there. They have no lockers, in my room not even a nail to hang a coat. Beds are bent and noisy. Basically the whole place is just begging to fall apart."

"Good location, near to shops/bars/trains and the price was reasonable for a private room. However it's rundown & very basic. The shower (although powerful) was dirty and leaking. The beds/bedding are old and need replacing. Needs an update and better facilities."

"Been here four times now and always been happy, its been cheap and staff has been friendly so we decided to stay for a week before we moved into our new apartment. Unfortunately a bit disappointed since the place were not properly looked after during the week (toilets downstairs where out of paper for the whole weekend and one was blocked, shower were just.... dirty. It was like the downstairs of the hostel was just ignored). Bins overfull and dishes piling up in the kitchen. Great location though, still quite cheap for a double room ($50/night), an okay place for a night or so. Would come again but there are definitely stuff that can be looked after better."
