Great location. Room very small but worked for us.

5.0 / 5.0
A seriously good stay! Check in was easy, Lylo is close to everything which makes it worthwhile straight up. I was in an 8 pod room and everything about it was great, bed was way more comfortable than I expected, privacy if you need it but good for a solo traveller with plenty of opportunity to socialise. Bathrooms were pretty good as far as a hostel goes, the staff keep the place very clean and tidy, and were there to help with any questions that I had. Highly recommended and I’ll be staying again next time I’m in town.

Prime location - Lylo was located close to the Coronet Peak and The Remarkables Snow Center.
Walkable distance to town and had supermarkets/cafes/restaurants nearby.
Small rooms but clean and comfy!

LyLo was perfect for my one night stay. I had a Queen En Suite and it met all my needs. The staff was super friendly and they were helpful when the dryer didn’t dry my clothes all the way. I went to buy another coin for extra time and the receptionist was kind enough to give me an extra coin without charge. It was a kind gesture and much appreciated after a long travel day. Everything here was clean and no weird hostel smell. The only thing I found frustrating was my key card wouldn’t work to get into the laundry as it was on the ground floor and my room was on the 2nd floor. So I had to either wait for the receptionist to open for me or awkwardly ask someone to let me in when I needed to tend to my laundry. They have a really cool lounge on the top floor as well that I wished I had more time to enjoy.

Very clean and perfect room for our stay. The kitchen was a little small and could tell people were living there, needed a good clean out. Laundry facilities were a bit of a rip off but service was awesome, AMAZING location, good value for money, will be back for sure.
4.0 / 5.0
The location is incredible. The Wi-Fi is subpar. It worked decently-ish on my phone, but it dropped from my laptop every five minutes... And I wasn't streaming anything. Just trying to book hostels for upcoming nights. I chose to stay in a private room with a private bathroom. It was tiny, but the bed was comfortable. The room was freezing though. There was a small electric fan heater, but I didn't want to leave that on all night... So both nights I stayed there I woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night because of the cold and I'd put the heater on for half an hour or so. That was quite inconvenient. It would be great for Lylo to invest in better comforters/blankets so we don't freeze in our sleep.

Very convenient location! Staff were so lovely, everyone we interacted with was so kind. Has a handy luggage storage option which was amazing. Room was very very small. We knew it was going to be a small room but it was way smaller than expected. Glad I booked the balcony room as it made it feel less compacted but everything else was pretty decent.

Lylo was an awesome place to stay. Staff is kind, fun, and friendly. Lylo hosts events each night so meeting people & making friends was easy. Loved my time there!

This place understands hospitality. I was thoroughly pleased with my stay. If you have any issues while you are there, talk to the reception. They listen and make things right. Keep up that way of service Lylo!

4.0 / 5.0
The location is good and convenient because we don't drive. But set up of the double bed is not good. There's a pillar beside the bed which prevented for two of us to sleep properly on the bed. We have to climb to the bed.

The property has all indicated amenities, in a previous review I indicated that the room was to cold, however after following up with a staff member, it was drawn to my attention that the room had a portable heater and she visited my room to set up same. The bed was very comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
The kitchen facilities were great and I loved the location of the facility as it was so close to the city and various activities just nearby in walking distance.

terrible beeping noise in our hotel room throughout the night ruined my trip. although, places and people are extremely nice.

It was filthy & the service was poor. The toiletscwere disgusting & smelled bad. They hardly ever cleaned the rooms.
4.0 / 5.0
Visiting Queenstown is already expensive as it is. So being able to find a place for me and my friends that is a little more affordable was great. We got the family room, so we had our own bathroom and it is so conveniently close to everything Queenstown has to offer.

I liked IT much more than Lylo of Auckland. The pod seemed more spacious and cleaner.
5.0 / 5.0
We stayed in a double en-suite and couldn’t have been happier. Yes, the rooms are small but there’s space under the bed for your bags and we paid a fraction of the cost compared to other properties in the area. The location is outstanding, the bathroom was clean and had a great shower - there was even shampoo and body wash provided! Bed comfy but the highlight was the incredible view of the lake from our room. Would recommend Lylo to anyone!

5.0 / 5.0
Centrally locate in Downtown Queenstown there was no shortage of places to eat, drink, shop, or head out to the mountains from. Highly recommend staying. Rooms felt a little "hostel" style and that was kind of the vibe of the whole place but that was fine, we only stayed for one night. Longer wouldn't have been a problem either though.

We found Lylo to be an ideal short-term stopover for our stay in Queenstown. If you are looking for luxury go elsewhere but for budget accommodation Lylo fills all the boxes. Our room, albeit shoebox in size, was private, with a good sized shower area and with excellent mountain views. Lack of cupboard or shelf space was a bit of a hassle but we simply lived out of our luggage during our 7 day stay. The communal kitchen was a bit hectic at times but the property are planning to extend this facility. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there in a central Queenstown location and have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone travelling on a tight budget

Close to the “downtown” core making it very convenient to walk everywhere. Room very clean. Very comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again.

Ben has fun and amazing activities to add to the Queenstown experience. Friendly and helpful staff. I would come back and stay here again
4.0 / 5.0
Room and property is right in the centre so perfect for walking. Staff friendly but strick on the 3pm checkin, did let us leave bag though. Room was fine but small and had no windows but we knew this, which is great for sleeping as no
Natural light but found it made me oversleep, no control on temperature though as centrally controlled. Would stay again as it was fine for a night. Definitely aimed at foreign backpackers and tourists but fine for a night
0.5 / 5.0
Tiny room, service was sub par, no thermostat in each room so they have the rooms on fan/circulation mode for the whole floor which I believe is a health and safety issue as my partner and I both got Covid. And after a few days of sharing air on the floor all the rooms around us were coughing and sneezing as you could hear through the thin walls. I don’t recommend this place to anyone

BIG RED LETTERS - NO PARKING.
BIG RED LETTERS - 13 SQ METERS NO CHAIR , NO TABLE, NO MICROWAVE. COMMON KITCHEN BUT BUSY AND NOT CLEAN. COMMON AREA NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE. GOT KICKED OUT.
2.5 / 5.0
Excellent location from bus stop and near shops. Room is small but clean. Stayed in two different rooms in two trips. The only complaint is that the TV is bad in both rooms, and the hotel should provide a couple of stool in the room for sitting. The kitchenette is very useful.
3.0 / 5.0
There is no cleanliness. I feel like the hostel has given up on cleaning due to the poor manners of the guests.
3.0 / 5.0
Location good, staff friendly, room felt like a prison cell without the bars, or a store room with a toilet in it. I wouldn’t choose this again.
Check in and check out process was easy.
3.0 / 5.0
The bathrooms were below expectations. There was one sink for an entire floor. There was mould growing on the extraction fan.
