It’s a bit maze :-D But cool hostel!

Comfy beds, excellent location, great equipped and nice kitchen. Very clean and tidy facilities.

Kitchen was quite far. In the room you can hear everything what’s going on in the hostel. Getting up early in the morning and not waking anyone up because of a noisy doors is challenging :-D

Clean, comfortable stay in the middle of town

This accommodation was not our usual - it is a Hostel - but it was wonderful. We arrived late and I was sent clear instructions for entry after hours. The room was super clean and ours came with a private bathroom and linen provided. There is also a communal kitchen, lounge etc seperate to the bedrooms if you want to use it. All of it was lovely and clean - lots of neat people there too of all ages (retired Kiwis, overseas travellers - young and old). Location was perfect - no parking onsite but there was plenty nearby. The hostel is right next to the supermarket, a short stroll to the lake and town. Great coffee option just outside from 8am, and crepes - perfect way to start the day !!

The best stay yet!

The best hostel we’ve stayed in so far in NZ & Aus. Incredibly clean and comfortable. The spacious, clean and well equipped kitchen (milk and hot chocolate etc is so hugely appreciated) alongside the comfortable TV room were particular hits. We wish we had stayed an extra few nights! Special touch and big thank you to the man on reception who lent me his fleece for our hike - absolute gem. Will recommend highly to anyone who will listen! The hostel is the cherry on top to the beauty of Wānaka

The beds were a little close together, I was almost touching toes with a stranger.

Dejlig beliggenhed men manglende charme, indretning og renlighed trak oplevelsen ned.

Nem og hurtig indtjekning. Rigtig god beliggenhed tæt på by, strand og indkøbsmuligheder. God parkering i nærheden.

Ikke særlig rent. Store skraldespande ikke tømt som stod og lugtede. Atmosfæren lidt tam og værelserne manglede muligheder for opbevaring/steder at hænge håndklæder og jakker. Der var kun senge med en lille skuffe under.

Wenn man schlafen möchte, definitiv nicht zu empfehlen.

Riesen große Küche mit Aufenthaltsraum und sehr guter Ausstattung (sogar Pürrierstab vorhanden; sehr viel Platz; kostenloser Tee, Kaffee und Schokolade). Hervorragende Lage zur Innenstadt, See und Supermarkt.

Der Empfang war eigenartig, aber ich denke, das ist nicht immer so. Furchtbar waren allerdings die dünnen Wände und die knallenden Sicherheitstüren. Ständig ist man nachts aufgewacht, weil jemand eine Tür hat zu fallen lassen. Es war nicht nur laut, es hat richtig vibriert. Das Zweibettzimmer hatte extrem viel Platz aber keine Ablagefläche oder Tisch oder ähnliches. Das Rollo am Fenster ließ sich nicht ganz schließen, dadurch wurde es im Zimmer nicht dunkel. Außerdem hat im Flur die ganze Nacht das Licht sehr hell gebrannt und man hat es durch die Tür durch gesehen.

Not worth the money, heartless place

overpriced for what you actually get. No chair, no TV, cold feeling, dirty rooms. We found hair from other people and dust in some corners. Unfortunately not good value for money. It feels more like someone is trying to squeeze all the money out of this place. We had much more better and cheaper places on the West Coast.
