We stayed here for two nights in a private room and were disappointed with our experience. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The room did not appear to have been properly cleaned before our arrival. There was visible dust on the surfaces, and we even found an old contact lens next to the bed, which felt unhygienic. The room description also stated that a locker was included, but there was no locker in the room. Customer service during both check-in and check-out felt very minimal.

Realmente es el mejor hostal en que estado; he pasado por cinco países en esta ocasión en en otros años otro número y sigue siendo el mejor.

Insgesamt ein ganz gutes Hostel. Küche groß & gut ausgestattet. Badezimmer unten sehr runtergekommen und weniger sauber, dafür im oberen Stockwerk renoviert & sauber. Im Zimmer kein Lichtschalter. Ganz nette Gemeinschaftsräume

Very nice stay! The dorm beds all have curtains and the sheets they provide are cozy. The kitchen is big and well equipped. Common area downstairs is great for hanging out. They have luggage storage during the day which was helpful. Short walk from the bus center and the botanic gardens, which we enjoyed. We'd definitely recommend this place!

Wir waren super zufrieden mit dem Hostel! Vor allem die Küche war wirklich sauber (war das erste Mal dass ich mich nicht vor den Schwämmen geekelt habe 😅)! Bei den Toiletten gab es Frauen, Männer und unisex-Toiletten. Abends konnte man Billard spielen, in der Lounge chillen, Spiele spielen oder sich ein Buch leihen. Es wurde also nicht langweilig! ☺️

Incredible location, nice atmosphere, good staff. Kitchen facility could host a lot of people at once and it was always clean with a lot of pots, pans, cutting boards, knives, just missing some spoons! Free instant coffee was a lovely addition. The lounge space was awesome and they have events. Bunk beds were sturdy and clean, with a made bed when you arrive which we appreciated. Location was perfect, not too far from bus terminal and close to all things CBD CHCH.

Amazing staff and location! Unfortunately I believe my room had bedbugs as I have bites all over after a few days :( Also no elevator, though they do have a luggage room downstairs.

The stay was really central, but the staff were so ignorant and unhelpful. When I was checking in, one member of staff was stood around speaking to her friend and thought it appropriate to not acknowledge me for a good 10 minutes. She then got up and walked off, and the next guy was just as bad. Every question was answered with “I don’t know” in a really cocky tone and his attitude stunk. He didn’t want to be speaking to us whatsoever. The room had no windows too, which wasn’t advertis...

Das Hostel hat soweit alles, was man braucht. Ist auch relativ gut für Radfahrer, da sie eine große Garage für die Räder haben. Die Mitarbeiter geben sich Mühe für Sauberkeit. Aber es ist halt überhaupt nicht gemütlich. Der Essensraum/Küche ist laut, die Zimmer nebenan hören jeden Stuhl beim Aufstehen und hinsetzen. Es hat eine super Lage zur Innenstadt und Bushaltestelle. Auch Wäscheservice ist entspannt. Nur: es war nicht gemütlich für einen längeren Aufenthalt!

Good location and price, but beds do move a lot and make a sound, but the privacy curtain was amazing plus the kitchen is huge

I woke early hours to bites and discovered huge bed bugs in the bed. I thought the room smelt bad (no ventilation or window) and it felt dirty. The bedbug infestation confirmed that it was filthy. I spent the rest of the night sitting in the shared lounge then walking around the city. I was offered $20 compensation to wash all my things. Totally bad experience. Do not stay here.

Great hostel! Some shared toilets/showers were newly renovated and very nice, we had an ensuite that was quite bad with mold and bad smell so we used the shared ones instead. Kitchen is great.

Stayed at this hostel multiple times. My favourite in all of NZ. In such a good location and great facilities. Comfy beds, nice bathrooms, amazing big well equipped kitchen. Plus a large lounge area with free darts and pool table. 3 events a week to encourage socialising which are a great way to meet other travellers. Staff always friendly and helpful. Made many great friends here and will always look back on my time spent at this hostel fondly. Cant recommend it enough.
