Unreal location, easy going stay!

Private double room was lovely to have. Stayed true to their word and was quiet after 10pm. Room has a key to lock the glass door and a curtain for privacy. Shared bathrooms were very clean. Didn't use their shower but looked clean also. Great value for money and location is unbeatable. Right in the centre of the village. Can park on the street leading down to the hostel but be careful as some areas are P60. Access down to the water right beside the hostel also. Would stay again!

Shared hand towel in the bathroom rather than paper towels/hand dryer - seemed a bit unhygienic as it was damp. No aircon in room but we kept the window open so it was not too bad. Bed was also not the comfiest, have had comfier hostel beds. But for the price it was not a big deal at all!

Perfect spot to chill out at after adventuring all day.

Room had a sweet view of the nearby river.

Guests are a bit loud but that's expected in a hostel.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definetly do it again. I would even go there as a solo travelle

I really enjoyed the vibe, everyone was so friendly and the place was super cozy. I felt as if it were a mini home away from home. We also felt really safe with our belongings and everything in the kitchen was labelled properly.

The wifi was a little bit dodgy but considering that it was included and at a backpackers it was great for the price.

Cheap but dirty

The location was good. Pretty sunset views from the hostel garden. Free parking was very convenient. Cheap stay. Kayak and surfboard rentals were available.

Kitchen and bathrooms were dirty and were not adequately cleaned during the entirety of our stay. The bathrooms were covered in hair, dirt, mould etc. the kitchen sides were always dirty and people were not cleaning up after themselves. The whole place is in desperate need of a deep clean. The bunk beds did not feel very safe as the top bunks had no sides so you could easily roll off in the middle of the night.

Beautiful place, nice location

Good location, very friendly and helpful staff. View was great from our room.

Room was very hot, we didn't keep the door open at night so the air was not very fresh in the morning. No airconditioning.

A comfortable and friendly hostel in a great location

The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful. I had a private room which was basic but comfortable, with a lovely view. The location could not be better within Raglan.

It was quite noisy in the evening with people sitting right outside the room talking and on the phone etc., but you have to expect this from a backpackers.

We chose not to stay after looking in the room.

The location is right in the middle of town and walking distance to all the cafes and restaurants. Easy access to walking tracks.

Disorganisation. No parking available. The place looked like a junkyard. We were told not to use one of the kitchens as they could not get cleaners. The poor girl on the check-in desk was struggling with their booking system. We had booked a private twin room a few weeks prior and the booking had been either lost or not put into their system correctly. The alternative they offered were two beds in a 6 bed room that was unoccupied. The room albeit clean was bare and cold with wooden floors and broken blinds. It had an oil heater that would have taken hours to heat the room. Booking.com was very helpful and arranged a refund.

Customers should one first.

Location is the drawcard. Walking distance to everything in town.

Most of the staff. The 1 kiwi receptionist was lovely. However the rest of the staff were too wrapped up in themselves. They were foreigners living on site. We felt like we were intruding in there space. They also had a staff party which was noisy even with earplugs. So I waited until midnight, got out of bed and ask them to be quite. Quiet time is supposed to be at 10. Just disappointed that the staff couldn't respect the rules and one in particular gave me attitude.

Clean, quiet and central. Good choice for a short stay in raglan

Close to everything, comfy bed and had a spa tub. Very quiet for a hostel and no noise at night time everyone was respectful of other sleeping which is rare in a hostel environment

Requested to use spa which had to be heated up prior but whoever filled it up over filled the water so was not hot. So kind of ruined the experience for me. Need to educate the staff bit better on that.

Central location, well-furnished kitchen, comfortable exterior

A reasonable stay in a great location.

The room was small but enough with a comfortable bed. The shared bathroom was clean and the shower was a delight. The living areas were spacious, well stocked and everyone seemed to play their part in keeping it tidy.

It was somewhat noisy long after I would have expected. The spa and sauna weren’t working.
