Featured Hostels in Queenstown

LyLo Queenstown
Terrace/patio

LyLo Queenstown

5.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (658)
"A pretty cool place that’s like an upscale-ish backpackers hostel. Best thing is it’s location which is right smack in the main centre! Only downside is parking—you either book their parking for a fee, or park in the paid public parking right across the hostel. Not a problem overnight coz free parking from 6am-8am. Also, the only heating available are oil heaters, which unfortunately isn’t quite enough. But overall, a great accessible and convenient place."
