Very nice place, big and clean! I like Trevor and Fiona, the best couple to deal with and talk to - very inviting. Felt like family. Room was awesome - private bathroom and huge wrap around balcony outside! Everything about this place is perfect. Had big doors and windows for air but also an aircon unit.

Rosanne's house was one of the best places we have ever stayed! From the location to the room, everything was just wonderful! Rosanne is a wonderful hostess and a wonderful person, she was always ready to listen to questions and it was very pleasant to just chat with her. This house also has a cozy kitchen and dining room; cooking was a pleasure! It was an absolute pleasure to be in this house; we also loved sitting on the cozy veranda both day and evening! Now that we've left, we truly miss this place! We hope to visit again!

Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The property is non-smoking and is set 2.9 km from Queensland Performing Arts Complex (QPAC).

I love that Milton Stay is right next to the bus stop, and just like 5mins walk away from the train station. Made travelling on public transport within Brisbane a lot more convenient, for me, especially for a first timer in Brisbane. Also, the house was always clean, has a nice spacious kitchen to use and the rooms are nice, spacious and comfortable.

    Fun, social atmosphere in a Queenslander style building. Good hostel for long termers and short term visitors. Plenty of space and large communal areas. Clean, hygienic bathrooms and a large newly renovated kitchen. SWTS is really well managed by lovely staff and an owner that truly cares. The location is also excellent, situated just off the iconic Boundary street in West end. So many good things to do in the area like parks, markets, and walks. Couldn’t recommend this hostel enough
