Good hostel for the money I've paid
The location is great walking distance to the I-Site and to the mall, there's Starbucks nearby too and Dunkin Donut just around the corner. The hostel room is big enough for two people and the bathroom as well is ok. Clean renovated room with new carpet or near new. We stayed for 4days and no cleaners to clean the room but it's alright we're not messy people. There was only one time there's a noise like moving furniture around late at night so not sure if that was a new arrival or somebody are living in this hostel. So far it's good for the money. There's also some activities for your kids to do like the rock climbing inside the hostel down below and a cinema too!

It was our first time ever staying in backpackers facility, however we weren't expecting 5 star, but it was okay. The only thing that we didn't like were the noise coming from the other rooms. Perhaps sound proof walls could accomodate this.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Pillows were horrible, very thin and should have been at least 2 to double up on, four to a private bed room. We stayed long weekend so group of NZ sports team were staying & families, a lot of noise, would recommend they install soft closing doors to all rooms and also for security with private rooms, a latch as a simple single button door handle made you feel a little uneasy. Good location, parking available nearby but wouldn’t stay more than 1 night, after hours locked box was adequate. Kitchen had no windows so expect cooking smells to stay around or spread through the backpackers especially if groups cooking. Would of provided feedback to desk but no staff to be seen at checkout.
