- Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Getting pretty shabby and slack it’s attitude . Our room only half serviced and had to ask repeatedly for stuff.

Good location, easy to access, good sized room. Comfy bed! No remote for TV!!

Noisy all throughout the night. Not perfect for people who need to rest. I felt sick having to be constantly be awaken by drunk people in the hallway, doing nothing but being drunk until three in the morning. Wish the business minded this matter too despite Queenstown being “a party place”. What happened at 3 onwards? Cleaners took over, pouring bottles from bin to bin, loud enough to wake all my senses up each time like no one sleeps there. Every move was loud. Hate to say I had been warned! I checked out at 5 in the morning and stayed by the wharf for the rest of my short stay. Also the toilets had so limited space, no bins and weren’t very clean.

Had a private room in the hostel so the room was nice, newly decorated. Complimentary breakfast in the communal area 8-9am, basic but decent. Hostel was connected to their own bar, good prices.
