The only thing I didn’t like was parking. I had a car and there was no parking facilities near the backpackers. Outside of this it more more than adequate! The attendant was friendly & helpful!

Have stayed there for 3 nights so far, 1 next week. Everyone has been great.
Some of the mess is from the Backpackers being lazy and not doing their dishes and leaving pizza boxes for the staff to clean up.
Very good for the price.

Very warm feeling to the building along with the staff. Very convenient to town Centre, bus services and the beach. I recommend the Ariki back Packer's to anyone looking for accommodation in the New Plymouth area.

Property was very clean and tidy. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very conveniently located for dining, shopping, broadwalk, bus terminal. Only issue is no parking which could be alleviated by putting a blurb about where you can park. One thing said there was parking and another said no parking??

Enjoyed two nights in the family room. Excellent value with air conditioning, TV and own bathroom. All linen supplied. Excellent location right in the centre, next to mall, restaurants and costal walkway. Excellent staff service. I would have liked to rate cleanliness higher, but some guests did not always leave the kitchen clean or wash and dry their dishes.

Fantastic place. Great location for coastal walkway, right in town. Bars, restaurants all handy.
Manager was so friendly and welcoming, also very efficient. Best hostel I've stayed in NZ.

Great service and accommodation. The only thing I'd take issue with is the parking which you have to either pay for from 9am-5pm or not drive at all. Don't let this overshadow your stay though, as it's a lovely place.
