Directly opposite the Roma Street Transit Centre (Greyhound and premier bus station) is Brisbane's 'flashpacker' accommodation, Base Uptown. You can literally step off the train or bus, walk across the road drop your bags and then get straight into exploring this funky city!

They offer all guests free travel advice, a free welcome pack on check-in and free activities, so you will never be bored! Breakfast specials for guests are as cheap as AUD5 for a bacon and egg roll and 20 per cent off everything in the bar for guests as well. They are one of two unique locations to offer the infamous Byron Bay Coffee to their guests and local patrons. Wireless internet is only AUD4 for 24 hours or AUD12 for one week!

Base Uptown has an array of facilities that ensure relaxed home-style comfort. A fully equipped self-catering kitchen adjoins the recreation room, complete with comfortable lounges, board games, a television and an adjacent coin-operated laundry for the domestically inclined. All rooms come with en-suite which means no walking down the hall way in your towel!
