Steady hostels in Brisbane

    Hi guys,
    I'm heading to Brisbane at the weekend. My friend and I have overspent a bit and are hoping to get some work there for a while until we have enough to go up the east coast.
    We were living in a Melbourne backpackers for quite a while in a 5 bed dorm while we were saving up to get this far. We lived there for ages and loved it! It was quite a steady hostel, most people were working, and there weren't really any people who would just come and stay for one or two nights or were just passing through. So I'm wondering where would be a good place to get the same kind of thing in Brisbane?
    Any info/advice/experience would be a great help.
    Thanks!

    Stayed in Bluetongue backpackers on Brunswick st on and off for the last few months, quite cheap and a relaxed atmosphere but the place is a bit run down, met some awesome people here though and usually long termers.

    A few of the smaller places on Roma st are meant to be a similar vibe. Bunk, the YHA and Chill are a lot more big and anonymous, hope that helps!

    I only have experience of Bunk hostel in Brisbane. Which sounds like exactly what you dont want. So my only advice is to avoid there!

    Ah its grand. Depends what you want really. Its got a nightclub right beside it so can be noisy. But if youre out drinking that wont bother you. Free meals most days, which is handy. Small but nice enough.

    Over all I thought it was ok. Bit impersonal due to size but no major complaints!
