We stayed for 7 nights and ended up paying way more than we expected. They do have free WiFi, but it is terribly slow but don't worry you can pay extra for "high speed wifi" that buffers frequently. Oh did I mention when you pay for WiFi you are paying per device-therefore if you have a phone and a lap top that it double the price. RIDICULOUS. They have computers you can use but oh YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE TOO. There is no heat in any of the rooms so it becomes freezing cold every time the sun is down (morning and evening).

Also, the front desk is not the most helpful. Many times we asked about things going on and we got back an attitude as if we were supposed to already know.
The positives are we got our room and stored luggage. There is also a shuttle drop off that helps.

Overall, Brisbane Backpackers Resort is literally what you pay for. Not the best experience.
