Ok pour une nuit.
L'emplacement est proche du centre, du lac et de quelques activités (Gondola, bowling, pub...). Le personnel était attentionné.
Hors de prix en pleine saison. La chambre double était petite et on pouvait très bien entendre les gens dans le couloir ou sur le balcon partagé. Le lieu est globalement défraichi.

Wouldn't stay again
The staff on reception were great and the hostel seemed to have a relaxed and fun vibe. The location is great (under 5 mins from pretty much anywhere you could want to get to in Queenstown and right across from the cable car).
I would not recommend staying here in winter - the hostel has very little insulation and although our room did have a small plug in heater it took a long time to warm up. The showers gave a trickle of hot water at best and were completely cold at worst. The hostel is generally quite run down, which isn't necessarily an issue in itself (we are used to backpacker-style accommodation) but along with the cold it made the experience a bit unpleasant. Overall it didn't feel like good value for money (we paid ~£70 for a double room with shared bathroom).

tiny room, not clean, bad wifi, mice in the kitchen, not enough showers and toilets in the building, not enough space in dining area, kitchen poorly equipped, window didn’t close properly, fridges too full

OK pour séjour court
Emplacement pratique proche du centre-ville, chambre propre, présence de casiers et d'une petite cuisine
Personne présent ni au check-in ni au check-out, on a dû se débrouiller un peu tout seul et ça manque d'informations ... par ailleurs les lumières au-dessus du lit du haut ne marchent pas

Hay mas gente que en la cárcel, la cocina daba asco. Es muy caro para tener baño compartido.
Los empleados que limpian y viven allí eran muy simpáticos y ellos no tienen la culpa del mal funcionamiento del alojamiento el dueño no da la cara y deja a sus empleados que se coman las quejas de los huéspedes. La gente de allí aunque va un poco a su bola son simpáticos. Alguno de ellos viven allí por semanas o meses.
La limpieza del alojamiento en general, la habitación estaba bien pero cocina y baño daban pena, la cocina estaba sucia, mejor el segundo día que el primero, pero en general muy sucia. El baño era viejo la puerta no cerraba bien te daba cosa ir a ducharte o asearte, no lo recomiendo para nada. Para el parking te tienes que dar de hostias allí con 3 o 4, yo tuve suerte y pude aparcar todos los días, pero hay coches que no se mueven durante semanas. Hay menos parking que gente alojada. Mi habitación daba a una terraza que era común, poco intimidad en general.
