Bula Bula, Herzlich Willkommen, Bienvenue, Kia Ora, Bienvenido and WELCOME to Prince Consort Backpackers!

Whether this is your first time in Brisbane, just another party weekend away or you are here to work, if you stay with us, you're sure to have fun and enjoy some good times with old and new friends!

Our hostel is located right in the heart of Fortitude Valley (lovingly nicknamed 'The Valley' by us Brissie kids), in Chinatown, a great place to stay if you are into live music, awesome food, restaurants and pubs, markets, fun and cool stuff to do pretty much any day of the week. Within a few minutes walking distance you will find a variety of Night Clubs and great bars and cafes as well as pharmacies, doctors, grocery stores, car hire, book shops, a cinema and great shopping. We are a nice little 10 minute walk from the city centre, so you will even get a bit of exercise in on your way to see our Great Botanic Garden, Museums, Parklands, Shopping Malls and Markets! We also have bus and train services outside the front door going literally everywhere in Brisbane as well as to the Sunshine and Gold Coasts daily, just pick a destination, hop on and enjoy!

Our backpacker hostel is situated in a fantastic old heritage listed building with loads of character! We have recently updated our Common Room that boasts a massive Flat Screen TV with surround sound, DVD player, a DVD rental list longer than Bob Marley's hair, a pool table, Vending Machines with yummy snacks and drinks, 24 Hour Internet Café and a Payphone so that keeping in touch with your family and friends is just that little bit easier! We also have security lockers and a great book exchange that always has an amazing variety of books you can swap with the ones you've just finished reading.

Our kitchen is small but our rooms are big and spacious with power points and shelves for storage! We offer clean air-conditioned dorm rooms as well as private rooms that also have a fridge and TV/DVD, so you will definitely find the right bed that will make you happy. We even reserve dorms for girls only, so no smelly boys allowed! We have lots of share bathrooms, even with hairdryers for the girls, as well as cheap washing machines and dryers!

If you need any help at all trying to figure out what's there to do in Brisbane and surrounds, just see one of our friendly reception staff who are all locals and know Brisbane inside out! We can help you book any tour in and around Brisbane as well as up and down the East Coast of Australia. Whether it's Moreton Island, Australia Zoo, Fraser Island or even your next hostel in Cairns… if it exists, we can help!

So come and visit beautiful Brisbane, have a great cheap Backpacker Meal at the Elephant & Wheelbarrow and stay for a night, a week or even months! We look forward to welcoming you here!
