バスの発着場所、テ・アナウ湖からとても近く、観光には大変便利なところにあります。チェックイン、チェックアウトもスムーズで、バスの出発まで荷物を預かっていただけました。建物は古いですが、よくメンテされていると感じました。キッチンも広く清潔でした。シングルルームに泊まりましたが、静かで、よく眠れました。ただ1点だけ、枕カバーがあると良かったです。それ以外は完璧です。

It was clean and overall great for backpackers/a hostel experience. It had a nice large kitchen area as well as a living room, garden and yard. The bed was average.

The front desk guy was cheerful, helpful and awesome. The main disappointment is the lack of sorting and effort put into recycling. As a tourist, I am trying to minimize my footprint and a hostel is in the position to be setting an example of that.

The code they provided for the front door didn’t work so coming in and out of the hostel after hours was stressful. The kitchen area was quite dirty. Otherwise my room and the shared restrooms were clean.

I had a 2-person bedroom. No separate lights on the beds, only one light on the ceiling. No curtains on the bed for privacy. I only stayed one night but from what I saw: the kitchen is obviously not cleaned every day. The bin was overfull. The tables were full of stains from food residues. The place is good for its location and economical fares. But don't look for any luxury.
