Some of the other reviews had me scared about our booking but we had a fantastic time! We booked a family room for myself and some friends, everything was clean and the staff were more than happy to assist in extra towels / hairdryer that we needed. Location was perfect and we didn’t notice any noise issues. I would 100% come here again
Kitchen fridge was smelt like off food and was full to the brim, but you get that at hostels

Great location and friendly staff. I had a private room with shared bathroom but bathroom was shared with only 1 other and never busy.
Unfortunately the internal noise in the building was too much and would put me off staying again. I was woken up each night due to very loud creaking floor boards from the rooms above. You could hear every step and movement resulting in broken sleep every night when people arrived home late/woke up early and stomped around upstairs. Building upgrade needed.

No breakfast provided.
It was chilly during our stay, the heating was confusing but once we figured out that the built in system didn't work , we turned on the space heater and it warmed up the room well.
The main light switch is behind the curtains, not visible to someone who just arrives and sees many other switches that don't turn on lights...

The service is excellent.

Friendly staff and guests.
The quality of the building and its design is poor - especially considering the price paid. In urgent need of a renovation if the price is to be justified.

Nos encantó todo del hostel, nuestra habitación estaba limpia, no había ningún ruido, el baño todos los días limpio, la sala de estar como si fuera tu casa. Nos sentimos súper a gusto.

The receptionist was lovely and made me feel welcome straight away. The WiFi worked really well, the kitchens were well equipped with everything I needed, the location is fantastic and it was great having an ensuite bathroom!
I know this isn't uncommon at hostels, but there were several people drinking and making a lot of noise after the curfew time. Some of which may have been passing by, as there are other hostels either side of this one and it's really close to the road. As a result, I didn't sleep particularly well on any night.

Wow! This property was fantastic. It had so many little amenities I didn’t even know about! A hot tub & breakfast all included in the price! What else could you want. Beds were comfy and rooms were clean. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back here

Very bad property. Smelly and noisy. Not at all suitable for families. There no parking facilities for our car. The worst stay we ever had in our life. I will not recommend this for anyone
cleanliness not maintenance, staff is not responsive. Heating not working, fan was faulty and it’s plugging was broken. A rundown place

Location was must better than expected. The twin room was neat, tidy and larger than expected. Being in the back house was fantastic as we only had to share facilities with a small number of people.
The limited hours of reception made it difficult to check in and out as we wanted to hit the slopes each day.

Good location
Room smelled, kitchen was dirty, beds were rickety and poorly made. One of the power sockets in the room didn't work. Shower was either scalding or cold.

The staff was really friendly and accommodating. I needed to park, there was a spot and they helped me make sure I could get that one. Also, when the vending machine ate my money, they helped to get me my drink anyway.
I liked the shared bathroom but I didn't understand how to turn on the warm water - luckily I'm used to cold showers. Also, dunno if it's me but I had trouble (un)locking the sliding door from the inside? I guess it's out of their jurisdiction, but the roadwork just out on the street was annoying.

The location is close to the town and the room price is very cheap.
The bed is not that comfy and due to it the share room/space so the surrounding noise might disturb while you sleeping.

Good location just a few minutes walking to the heart of Queenstown.
A bit noisy that might be due to my room next to the laundry 🤪

Close to town. For a backpackers, it was nice to have the bathroom as an ensuite to our 6-bed room.
Basic backpackers.

Good location, good room , excellent value for money - would stay there again
5.0 / 10.0
Very close to the city centre and the cheapest queen private ensuite room with parking in Queenstown for us by 33%!
Large and good shower.
The price obviously comes with downsides as expected; The rooms are very small, the common areas are in need of a refurbishment, rooms are clean but could be cleaner, the wifi dropped at times but at other times streamed video well, no air conditioning, rooms on ground level so any open windows lack privacy.

Did not stay for breakfast as had an early flight
Was a bit tricky to find late at night due to road works outside... convenient parking though.
Very clean and simple lodgings and really appreciated the clean towels ... thank you.
Thank you.

Was cheapest when we book and near by the city. Room was spacious and neat.
Advertise to have kitchenette which is not working, you also share the common kitchen with the staff. Dryer is also not working.
