Somewhere to Stay is located not far from central Brisbane. It's at 45 Brighton Road, within walking distance to the southbank parklands and a nice to walk during the evenings. From there you can just keep walking to the CBD, or choose to take a ferry across the river. On the downside, it can be quite a hassle to find this place. If you're coming with public transportation, it's not a problem: just call the hostel, and you can be picked up from almost anywhere in Brisbane. If you're coming with a car, you can get there easily from Boundary Street or from Vulture Street In any way, calling for directions is a good idea.
The hostel is a big one, and actually contains two buildings next to each other. Most of the rooms are 6-8 beds per room, and every room has lockers. The hostel is not too clean, though. The showers and toilets are on the second floor, accessible only by stairs from the outside of the building. In the winter it can get cold going to the shower. The hostel also has a pool and a phone, especially there for guests to receive incoming calls.
On the plus side, the cheapest rooms in the hostel are only $16 a night, probably because the hostel is not in the city center. Checkout time is strictly 10:00 AM.
