a clean and comfortable facility

Lovely older style b&b, and staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, set with furniture consistent with the age of the building. Bed very comfortable. Access to tea and coffee, but no breakfast available. Could use youth hostel kitchen between 8am and 8pm.

Nice piano

Perfect hostel, kind people and good location

The cabin room had gaps in/around the door so it was really cold all night, other than that it was great.

It was pleasantly quiet and I had a good rest for my day. Thank you Alice, I appreciated your help very much.

The rooms are affordable and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

Great hosts

Cosy

Great place. Would stay again.

The house is beautiful, very well located, stones away from the river and walking distanse to town. Spotless clean. Attentive hosts. We were lucky to be upgraded to the BnB. All perfect.

I spent two nights here, alone in the female dorm, which was great. The place is in a tip top shape, great attention to details, super helpful staff. It is near by the river and short distance to town. I would definitely stay again. Cheers

Friendly and welcoming hosts. Good location close to the river and in walking distance to town

Awesome place staying their ageib tonight staff are amazing

Place is quiet and nice. Kitchen has everything you need . Shared bathroom, toilet and my room were clean. Staff friendly and helpful.

We stayed in the youth hostel family cabin; 1 double, 1 set of bunk beds and 3 single beds. This made it feel quite cramped. The en-suite facilities were basic but adequate. We had access to the kitchen, dining and lounge areas as with any YHA. No mod cons but perfectly adequate. The hostel is close to the river walk and so the town was easily accessed but in a residential suburb.

The facilities were what you would expect for a hostel - budget, but clean and practical. I was looking forward to staying there. The lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful. We booked the family room which had bunks and a double bed just for a quick overnight stop as we were on the way to the snow. Unfortunately the smell in the room of damp/mould/something! disturbed me so much that I really couldnt enjoy the stay and I had a very hard time sleeping because of it. I actually bought a deodoriser at the local supermarket when we were out getting dinner to try and neutralise the smell and I even tried to mask it with my eucalyptus oil that I inhale, but to no avail. Was very disappointing that an accommodation place that has such a high rating had such an obvious damp/mould problem or something in that room. The carpet had stains on it and black patches that looked like there might be moisture or damp coming up underneath. As a nutritional therapist, I have a very serious radar for potential health hazards and I know that breathing in mouldy or damp air with spores in it can pose serious health risks for vulnerable individuals. I ended up with a sore throat the next day and wondered if it was partly because of sleeping the night in a very strong mould/damp smelling room. I dont like to leave any negative reviews for anywhere, but do hope that the hostel takes the time to find the source of the smell and fixes whatever is causing the damp/mould in there.

recommend this hotel friendly staff and clean comfortable facilities

We enjoyed our stay in Braemar house very much, would recommend to Whanganui visitors. Room was clean with old feel, bathroom also clean and we had option to have shower or bath. Lovely and very helpful host. Stayed last weekend one night.
