What guests think
At Roamer Brisbane, travellers praise the central location near Roma Street and the friendly staff, while room and facility experiences vary, with some noting noise, dated areas, and maintenance lapses.
Cleanliness feedback ranges from spotless rooms and tidy common areas to reports of mold, damp smells, and missed details. Rooms differ in size and fit-out; several are spacious or comfortable, but some private rooms lack TVs or fridges and a few had faulty lights or power points. On-site food and breakfast draw praise, and the shared kitchen is useful, though one review flagged poor ventilation. Expect a central base with a social vibe, but quality and quiet can vary by room.

Its proximity to a major transport hub is a major plus. I could leave my large suitcase in free storage during my checkout day prior to my train departure in the late afternoon. The two staff members I met were helpful and polite. On the downside - there was a constant loud hum in the room all night. Also a regularly flashing light in a ceiling fitting above the bed.

Close to train station from airport. Great location for centre of Brisbane.Bedroom good with aircon & private bathroom.

I was having some personal troubles during the stay. Big thanks to all the staff who reached to offer help. Really appreciated. Fast food, cafe, 7-11, supermarkets and even church are all in walkable distance, which is very convenient. Metro and bus station are just next to the hostel. Kitchen is nice, easy to prepare food.

I stayed here recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The building, especially the ground floor, had poor ventilation and smelled strongly of old cooking and possibly mold, which made it uncomfortable to stay indoors for too long. The room itself was in poor condition. There were stains on the bed sheets and pillows, and the storage locker provided was broken and unusable. Some electrical outlets didn’t work, the bedside lamp was broken, and the whole room felt damp with a noticeable moldy smell. The shared bathroom was in extremely bad condition. It was clearly worn down, and there was visible black mold in the shower area and along parts of the floor. It didn’t feel hygienic or safe to use. In general, the entire facility felt very run-down. Many of the door handles were broken, and the furniture was visibly worn and in need of replacement. I would not recommend staying here

Room was nice and clean. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner were nice smelling. It's a mixed gender room and it'll be better to state that in the listing to avoid any shock/inconvenience. Other than that, there were multiple activities hosted by the property and receptionists were very friendly. Wonderful stay at selina brisbane.

A below avergae experience. For the price and reputation of Selina it was really disappointing. Selina Brisbane has no hostel atmosphere and feels like an incredibly corporate mangled co-workspace. It was even worse to hear and see first hand two of the area managers lambasting the hostel manager on what she wasn’t doing right. If they spent a little more time focusing on what the guests thought and not on aesthetic, the hostel would have a much warmer feel. If you’re giving ‘feedback’ (although it sounded more like bullying) it should not be within ear shot of guests. The kitchen needs proper ventilation. The private rooms however are well kept and comfortable. Tyra on the front desk was the most warm and welcoming member of staff, she really went the extra mile to help me and a couple of other guests. Thank you.

I found Selina to be a warm, welcoming experience. The cleanliness of the rooms, bathrooms, common areas, kitchen and toilets was spot on. Being so close to the CBD and rail and bus stations made getting too and from simple as a short walk. All staff are friendly and very helpful. Beds are comfortable and cosy and the privacy curtain is great for late night returns not disturbing those already asleep. I can only give Selina 5 stars for the best accommodation in Brisbane City.

The room was not properly cleaned, we found dirty clothes under the bed. There were stains on the pillow and the surfaces were dusty. I could hear the laundry going 24/7 which gave me a hard time to sleep. I could also hear footsteps from people upstairs. Even though we turned off the main light it was still flickering every minute. This should be check since it could be an electrical hazard.

After checking into a private room, I was made to move into a new room and had my belongings handled by employees and moved without being asked or giving any permission. On top of this, the employees lost a handful of my things, meaning I had to go out late at night to buy these things (such as a toothbrush and toothpaste). My new room was visibly dirty, with hairs and mould visible in the bathroom. On top of this, after receiving new key cards for a new room, said key cards did not work, so after going out to retrieve a new toothbrush and toothpaste (which I paid for out of my own pocket), I then had to wait for someone to come and let me in to the building. The worst hotel stay I have ever experienced

The room was fine (atleast if you are not staying at level 2). The service is really bad, miscommunication on miscommunication among the staff and promises they don’t keep (the manager is not cooperating to solve things either). If you need something more than only stay there for a night I wouldn’t recommend it and social organization is limited.

I had a wonderful stay and enjoyed very much. Located very close to Roma train station. Walking distance to Queen Street Mall and other sites. People I met in Roamer Brisbane, including the fellow guests and the staff members, are all friendly. Additionally, I am very impressed with the kitchen facility.

Dining
Breakfast and on-site food receive positive feedback, and the bar/restaurant is convenient; the shared kitchen is handy for self-catering, though one review noted poor ventilation.

I was having some personal troubles during the stay. Big thanks to all the staff who reached to offer help. Really appreciated. Fast food, cafe, 7-11, supermarkets and even church are all in walkable distance, which is very convenient. Metro and bus station are just next to the hostel. Kitchen is nice, easy to prepare food.

가성비 좋고 직원 친절함. 시내 접근성 좋고 (도보10분), 장거리버스 터미널 & 철도역이 역시 도보10분이내 거리여서 교통허브로 이용하면 좋을듯합니다. 2인이 프리미엄 방에 조식포함 15만원에 묵었읍니다.

A below avergae experience. For the price and reputation of Selina it was really disappointing. Selina Brisbane has no hostel atmosphere and feels like an incredibly corporate mangled co-workspace. It was even worse to hear and see first hand two of the area managers lambasting the hostel manager on what she wasn’t doing right. If they spent a little more time focusing on what the guests thought and not on aesthetic, the hostel would have a much warmer feel. If you’re giving ‘feedback’ (although it sounded more like bullying) it should not be within ear shot of guests. The kitchen needs proper ventilation. The private rooms however are well kept and comfortable. Tyra on the front desk was the most warm and welcoming member of staff, she really went the extra mile to help me and a couple of other guests. Thank you.

The staff were fabulous on reception, the communal areas were okay, but the room really let itself down. For a hostel you’d expect basic, but the beds were metal and squeaked, felt as though the ladder would come off the fastenings, the curtains were ripped/not attached by the rings, could do with maintenance, the bathroom has mould and poor hygiene with wall paint, dirty tiles and limescale build up, I didn’t feel I wanted to shower in there. The beds themselves have a box cupboard on the wall - I hit my knees and legs on it multiple times and am u sure the point of this box, it is in the sleeping bunk so seems a hazard if anything. The height of the bunks are also very low. I wouldn’t return to stay despite the staff being very helpful, the room was below par

The staff were really nice and it is in a great location near Roma st station. The only issue I had was my window didn't open and the fan didn't seem to work so I couldn't properly air out the room.
