The hostel is right behind the main bus stop in Queenstown and very easy to get around town. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The female’s dorm has its own bathroom which is convenient. The bed is comfy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay a high rate like that you should expect more.

Clean, warm and friendly

Solo traveller here on a snowboarding trip stayed in the 6 pod room with ensuite for 4 nights and really pleased with my stay. Communal lounge and kitchen were warm and very clean. Bathrooms and showers were clean overall. Some of the showers didn’t have their shower doors close quite properly though so water would splash out quite easily so after a few showers the bath mat was soaked. But the staff had cleaned and dried the shower by the next day with a fresh bath mat so all good. Only needed to interact with reception staff a couple of times but they were all good and helpful when I did. Room was warm enough and even on the winter nights, there were some nights I had to kick the duvet off because it was too warm. But would rather have that than being cold. Luckily my fellow roomies were pretty chill too which made the stay nice. Also great that it’s so close to town and bus stop to go to airport. Will definitely stay here again.

Som solotraveller er der alt, hvad man skal bruge! Fantastisk service, dejlig stor seng, hyggelige omgivelser, skab til ting, rene toiletter og bad, rent køkken, gratis te og kaffe, afslapningsområde. Det er det bedste hostel, jeg har prøvet.

スタッフの方の対応が丁寧で親切でした。チェックイン後にラウンジやキッチンの使い方、ロッカーやシャワーの場所を教えてもらったので滞在中不便なことはありませんでした。スーツケースを運ぶのも手伝ってくださり感謝しています。私の部屋は8人部屋で2段ベッドの下が割当られましたが、ベッドに座ると上に頭が付いてしまうので体の大きな人はお気をつけください。幅はとても広いです。枕元に手荷物を置いておける棚があるのは便利でした。ラウンジの音もそこまで部屋にまで響きませんでした。ドミトリーとしては清潔で過ごしやすい施設だと思います。
