Accommodation at Breeze Lodge includes spacious, fully air-conditioned shared dormitory rooms and twin rooms with en suite bathrooms. Each bed includes a power point, reading light and secure locker. Linen is provided.

It was an amaizing place with kind staff and people,the staff was so attentive to my concerns and the place is really clean compare with other places. Even that I shared room I could have my privacy each bed has own curtains and the room that I choose got on toilet and shower so I shared it with just few people.

Go Now Family Backpackers Hostel features free Wi-Fi access, free on-site parking. This simple accommodation is located a 20-minute walk from central Brisbane and the Southbank entertainment district.

You can choose to stay in a lively dormitory room in the comfort of a private room. Linen is provided in all rooms. Toilet and bathroom facilities are shared.

The hostel was and is my home in Australia. It's not perfect but the people and those who work there make you feel very comfortable. Very nice friendships are generated and I highly recommend it. It is not a party hostel, there are many people who stay for a long time and it is very relaxed, but at the same time it has a beautiful patio where environments for sharing are created. Church is always attentive and is the soul of the shelter.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
