The room was not available for me even though I had booked and paid through wotif. Another guest at the establishment advised me that the owner is not taking on-line bookings and there was no room in any case. I have already emailed about this and I expect a full refund. Please advise when this will happen.

Confusion over whether I even had a booking when I was attempting to get my keys from staff who were not on site was only the beginning. I had an inkling of Fawlty Towers that proved to be premonitory gold. The pool had been filled in with dirt long before our arrival, so not being a tunnelling wombat, I was unable to partake. Sun-dried tomato and chicken gristle, a fallen screw and the butt ends of smoked joints lay on the long-uncleaned floor; tobacco cuttings on the mantel; and carpet tacks pointing up where the carpet had curled away from the wood on which to impale my foot. No soap even in the public toilet, much less the ensuite. The doona covers were not very absorbent, but they were the closet thing to towels we could find, short of using our next day's clothing. We were a little unsettled by what appeared to be a blood stain on the wall near where someone had apparently fallen heavily against the plasterboard. I imagined that the fall may have been precipitated by contact with the bare bayonets on the wall light fixture that had no shade to protect the unwary, and possibly stoned, traveller. On the positive side, if the previous occupant did meet his demise in the room at least the body had been removed, if not the evidence of his last meal. Oh, and no sign of tetanus from the carpet track obstacle course. Caveat emptor.

Good location, but very dirty overall

From pros - only location and price. Otherwise the accommodation was very very dirty - the public areas, the rooms, the toilet, as well as floors were very dirty. The trash bin got full overnight and was not changed in the morning at least not until we checked out around 10.30. The floors were in a good need of vaccum cleaner and the bathrooms and toilet need a COMPLETE clean.

Great location, lovely old Queenslander. Backpacker-style shared kitchen. Lovely people employed for cleaning and other chores. Negatives: no air-conditioning in rooms, which makes it unbearably hot and difficult to sleep at night. Bathroom in urgent need of complete renovation. No cleaning was done in my room during my 2 weeks stay.

A Hidden Gem!!

Bowen Terrace is truly a hidden gem with convenient access to Brisbane CBD, Queen Street Mall, and South Bank Parkland via bus or walking along the riverfront. The managers, Ann and Brenda, were so lovely, helpful, and hospitable. This place had more of a bed and breakfast feel to it; there were always friendly and familiar faces without the noise or the party crowds typical of hostels, and it provided the perfect balance of privacy and socializing with other travelers. Both private and shared spaces were SPOTLESS, and cleaning was done on a daily basis. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I extended from one week to two and will definitely return if I need another night's stay in Brisbane.

We had a great time staying here whilst visiting our daughter in the city.here. We usually stay in the city at a bland budget hotel because it has free car parking. Our daughter was a bit concerned and thought we might be squashed in with backpackers and less friendly short stay room frequenters. We had an amazing time. Not only was our room character filled and the staff friendly, there was plenty of free on street parking. We walked, scooterd and ubered our way around the city easily. The house had hostel rooms downstairs, but we didn't see or hear anybody other than a family on our floor. The private bathroom was small but spotless. It's an easy walk to the river, New Farm shops, the movies and New Farm Park. The only noise came from the street outside, which wasn't much as it is in a residential area. We might not have heard anything, but we kept the window open as it was a hot night. No aircon, but we were fine with the open window and overhead fan. A nice character century old home away from home. Definitely our new first choice. We also saved $40 a night on what we usually pay.

Home away from home.

Bowen Terrace accommodation is very homely and clean. My trip was to see my brother who lives by. Apparently according to the owner they have many Guests who have family living in the area but don’t have enough space for guests . I would recommend this pace for short and also wonderful for longer stays. Very central to Brisbane CBD but in a quiet little pocket. Great restaurants and cafes nearby as well as supermarket and Saturday food markets.
