Bluetongue Backpackers Hotel

Feel the jungle. Live the jungle. Nice staff. Clean rooms cozy place… they have strange cat (see picture)

Dirty kitchen. Managers get annoyed if any noise even on weekends at 10pm. Barely a chill out area. Very small, cramped rooms. Cheap, but would spend couple dollars extra on a better hostel. Say they have Netflix and PlayStation but neither work.

Quite possibly the worst hostel I've ever seen, full of boring old people, kitchens terrible, rooms smell, bathroom isn't great. Terrible location and even though it's cheap, I'd spend the extra few dollars on somewhere that isn't so bad.

What a place! Chill vibe, great staff and just on the edge of party town!

Cheap and easy, not the best looking place but you're not paying much. And it's nice compared to alot of backpackers.

Pretty good place and affordable pricing. Keep up the good work team, Cheers.

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.

Don't take a double room because you will end up in a room that looks like a garage. Plus everything is really dirty. The only good thing is the staff which is really friendly.

This place is amazing! If I would give 6 stars if I could. The staff are friendly and helpful, the owner is a legend and the guests are so much fun! I would happily live here. I can see how it isn't everybody's cup of tea, but it certainly was mine. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely would recommend staying here, such a central location! The staff were very helpful, and the place itself was really homely and comfortable :)

We stayed in a double room which was large and functional. Price was fairly good. Staff and guests were quite friendly. Just the Wi-Fi could be faster.

A badly organized place, the office is never opened except the first day we arrived. People were smoking weeds right in the living room. The kitchen was a mess with all dirty dishes, leftover food.

Sometimes the best things in life are broken & imperfect. This place is like that. It's an hostel, it's not pretending to be the Hitlon or Trump Tower. It's cheap, close to everything, secure, friendly … and there's this mad happy blue haired chick at the front with a sense of humour! Win — win!

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.

This place is a dump. Service wasn't bad, but the atmosphere of the place was not comfortable. Had no privacy in the room with nothing to cover the window on the door. The floor in the room we stayed was simply concrete. We stayed for two nights, (two too many) and one of the toilets were clogged the entire time meaning no one cleaned anything during this time. If you don't have any hygiene at all, then by all means hang around. Everytime we showered here we didn't feel clean. This place needs a serious overhaul, or prices drastically dropped. It sure wasn't worth 60 dollars a night. Find an air BNB or simply a cheap hotel/motel. Cost you the same amount of money for a ton more in services/comfort.

Stayed in a dorm room for over a week. The rates were really cheap and the place is pretty clean. Like a big share house so you can hang with other people or keep to yourself, best backpackers I have come across for the price in Brisbane.

This place is an abandoned house taken by hypies. There is never anyone on reception, it is dirty and the mattresses are so old that the springs are nailed in the body. The street is noisy.
