Selina Brisbane
3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (80)
"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."

"It's cheap hostel in We End but you will get what you paid. Just don't expect much of $16 per night. At least you can have a car parking for free if you have one. There are 2 buildings of the hostel, White and Green, it seems the Green one is for the people who live there for ages but the White one is for new guests. But yeah seems most of people who staying in the hostel have been here a ages. *** the booking website said that you've already paid for the first night or what but the true is...
