Location is exceptional, one block from the Information Centre and from the bus stops to go out to Redwoods and Te Puia etc. Not at all noisy which was surprising. Most of the people staying there seemed to be seasonal workers from Germany. The private double room with shared bathroom that we booked was comfortable, clean and the bed was awesome! The kitchen was maybe a little small for the number of people constantly in there but it was maintained clean and well stocked with utensils&pots etc. The free pasta and coffee was helpful for the budget conscious.

Claire

the staff here was super nice and accommodating! helped whenever they could with any request big or small. they seemed to also do their best to keep everything as clean and nice looking as possible despite it being an older building, you don’t find that with every hostel in NZ! I stayed here 4 nights and would stay again. Super close to the water and to some nice parks.

Hannah

Great location, 50 m from the Intercity bus stop. The most clean hostel’s kitchen I have ever seen. Toilets were always clean and available. There is not elevator but the girl at the reception helped me bringing upstairs my very heavy suitcase. Pasta, rice, salt, coffee and tea, free to use.

Giorgia

The location was good. Rather central. Dorm was clean. It was what I expected of a hostel: low cost, a place to sleep. I was surprised that it didn't get too loud at night (might have been because it was a weekday?) Facilities were small but clean (few cubicles, few sinks)

Lisa

The staff was super friendly and willing to help us any time. We felt really comfortable and everything was very well organized. I love that they explained how the hostel works when we arrived. And the kitchen and toilets always super clean and tidy.
