Hostales en Queensland, Australia

The staff was lovely, however my friend and I had a hard time making friends at this hostel. They do have events designed to make friends but unfortunately most days we were busy doing other things. We also both got top bunks and as someone with ankle issues I struggled. The kitchen is also tiny with no cold water and absolutely nowhere to put anything. There is also not many places to hang out other than the room and the areas are crowded. Thankfully the bathrooms were always clean and the staff was very friendly. And the view from the rooftop was nice although it was crowded.

Alojamiento útil para una estancia de mochilero en Brisbane, con supermercados y restaurantes decentes cerca. La cocina del albergue siempre estaba muy concurrida y había muy poco espacio disponible en el frigorífico, ya que casi la mitad de los frigoríficos estaban etiquetados como ”fuera de uso”. La ubicación en sí no estaba muy lejos, tal vez 25 minutos, de algunas partes del centro de la ciudad. He adjuntado algunas fotos como referencia.

Cerca del centro de la ciudad. Un supermercado está cerca. Las habitaciones no tienen aire fresco ya que no hay ventana abierta. Pequeño espacio en las habitaciones. El personal es muy amable y útil)

It's quite nice. Too expensive. Not the most convenient location. But it's fine

The service staff is very good. There is a shuttle to the bus station. Traveling into the city is convenient, just a 3-minute walk to the bus stop. Breakfast is provided. But every evening each day there will be a different meal served. The rooms are clean, fragrant, and the mattresses are very soft.

Can I put 6 stars? :) This place is definitely one of the best hostels ever. Where do I start from? Reception: everyone is always super kind and helpful, including offering help with luggage and everything else. The hostel looks very new and modern, so beautiful! Room: it's great! Big enough, with hangers, curtains on each bed (amazing!), plugs and light for every bed and also some extra plugs around the room. Bed was very comfortable and I felt great there! Bathroom: always clean, soap in every sink and in every shower, big and nice! Kitchen: incredibly well equipped and open 24 hours. There are 2 doors separating it from the rooms so it's never noisy even if people are there in the night. They provide big boxes that fit in the (many) fridges so that it's all tidy and clean. Goodbye the hundreds of Woolworths bags and messy fridges with no space for other people's food! Even the cups, the dishes were perfectly clean, like everything else. I was seriously impressed, they did the cleaning multiple times a day. Free salt, oil, tea and coffee always available. Common areas: really beautiful, full of books, games, with a huge TV and many tables and beanbags. Events: they actually organize social events and the staff helps the ”new” people to socialize. That's so important! Many long termers don't really mind about meeting new people but if the staff does his part then it gets a lot easier. And here, they do. On my first night they had a free cheese and wine event and we got a lot of tasty food and wine. Location: perfect, just above Woolworths and a few minutes walking from everything. The Little Drifter feels more like an hotel than a hostel and I really don't know how people can rate it low. As great as it is I would still like to suggest some possible improvement. Maybe at the Reception you can print a map with a few info about the hostel on the back. I didn't understand where the boxes for the kitchen were, I didn't find the labels. Also it took me 3 days to find out that I had another toilet a lot closer to my room, so for 3 days I was crossing a very long hallway in the middle of the night when I had to go. I also didn't like the fact that I had to open the doors through the app and I discovered later that there is a code to open it as well (I try to leave my phone in my room as much as possible). This hostel is a little more expensive than other places but it's totally worth it! If I'll be back in Cairns I won't hesitate to come here. Thanks!

工作人員非常友好助人！不過行李多的話住這裡挺不方便，得經過一段樓梯下樓才能抵達。住宿裡沒有電梯、也需要爬樓梯。工作人員很好，幫我開了員工出入口才讓我不用再搬行李上下樓。 設備簡陋老舊，但是乾淨。 上下舖有一點晃動都會很吵，所以睡覺時壓力挺大。

I had a lovely stay — the staff were really friendly and chatted with guests, which made everything feel warm and welcoming. I happened to be there on my birthday, and the front desk wished me a happy birthday at check‑in — such a nice, thoughtful touch that made my day. It was also convenient that drinks and ice cream were available at the front desk. Overall, a pleasant experience and I’d happily stay again.

El lugar es de primera clase, el baño y la cocina son muy limpios, la gestión está muy en posición, hay actividades en la semana durante días, el amor social es muy adecuado, el aislamiento de la habitación también es muy bueno, el precio de la cocina es barato.

Was nervous due to past reviews, but found the reception staff friendly and helpful & the facilities really good. The room was basic but location was walkable and, whilst a little noisy at night sometimes, the other guests were kind and considerate. Would stay again!
