Stayed for one night to hike Tongario Crossing. Great location as bus picks you up right out front. Reception was hit or miss with friendliness, but suffice it to say everyone has a bad day. However, one of the friendly employees lent me her jacket! Facility is a bit run down and the “extended stay” guests were .... well. Overall good location for Tongario. Free parking was easy to find. Kitchen was well equipped. Standard hostel rooms/beds.

Perfect location, free parking outside, easy check in. First hostel we stayed in in New Zealand and all 3 of us were surprised by a great atmosphere. Wish the bathroom had better covers on a window for privacy, otherwise a great, comfortable stay.

Overall, good stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. I got what I paid for -- a small, single room, with no frills. Common bathrooms are very clean. They do a great job communicating that they are above a bar, so plan accordingly. (They also provide ear plugs.) The location is ideal, and there are plenty of parking opportunities if you need.

It’s a great back packers nicely situated and we didn’t find it too noisy. Repairs are needed to facilities. Overall an acceptable place for a limited budget.

Varasin yhden hengen huoneen, joka oli todella edullinen. Olin erittäin tyytyväinen sekä palveluun että huoneen hinta-laatu-suhteeseen. Huone oli kadulle ja kuten luvattua, baarin yläpuolella. Korvatulppien avulla kuitenkin nukkui hyvin. Pieni miinus yövalon puuttumisesta, mutta muuten ei valittamista. Yleiset tilat Ok, hyvin perinteiset hostellin tilat.

I recently stayed at bobs for 3 nights, I found it it always very clean except the ensuite floor just needed a little sweep in the floor! There are additional showers and toilets in the building as well. The room I had was at the back and it was weekday so I heard no noise at all from the bar! Great sleep! The bunks are a little low down if you want to sit on your bed. The outside area is very extensive and they have an amazing choice of movies for a rainy day.... or a cold night! I would stay again!
