Great location, lovely staff, clean facilities. Really loved their bunk beds with curtains and shelves, makes your bed more of a private space.
cheap and cheerful, great location.
I was only staying for one night so was one of the cheapest places i could find in Queenstown and it was still pricey for a dorm room. However, the location is great and its a big hostel, so lots going on - great if you’re up for meeting new people or want a mix of activities. My dorm had its own bathroom which was handy and great that the toilet and shower room were separate.
Great location near all the action. The common area, Ms. Lucy's bar was the classic social area for a hostel with pool table, board games. The bar was under renovation during our stay, with that open I imagine it to be an even better social area. Note that most people renting this place will go for dorms, this review is for a family room: one double bed and a bunk bed for two. The double bed was huge, probably king size, could have easily fit three people.
Great location, staff were very helpful helping us out with using their phone etc. and directions. As for the hostel, you get what you pay for, don't expect the Hilton. We booked a twin and unexpectantly got bunk beds which was fun 😎.
In terms of youth hostels, it was the best accommodation I have had so far in New Zealand. Unpretentious but comfortable, with everything you need, in a great location and with friendly and helpful staff.
I paid 102 NZD for a bunk bed in an 8-beds dormitory which is extremely overpriced. The room is just like other hostels, nothing fancy or anything worth 102NZD. While other hostels are charging around 50 NZD for a bed.
It's in a great location with a nice bar and restaurant. There's a common living room area and kitchen. The room has a sink and heater. I booked a hostel room, which was significantly cheaper than a hotel room. It was ok for the price, but there are things that could have been better.
