Staff is super friendly. I stayed in a private room for 1 person, it had all I needed: spacious bed, private bathroom, a mini fridge and coffee! The location is perfect, walking distance from all restaurants and just in front of the lake. Good thing they have elevators! Being on a 3rd floor and no elevator would’ve been painful Definitely a place to stay!

Stafff welcoming and very helpful. Room clean, kitchen facilities good, didn't need to use the laundry. Perfect location in city, very close to wharf / waterfront, boat trips, sky gondola & luge, ice bar, restaurants, shopping and bus's. Great value for money.

Best location in Queenstown by far! Fantastic family room and great kitchen. Cleaning staff were super friendly. Front staff were very unfriendly - hardly said hello and definitely didn’t want to be there… just holiday workers I believe so didn’t care at all about customer service! They need to up their game on customer service!

Best hostel. I love old quirky buildings with cramped halls and stairs. The rooms and common areas were spacious and well arranged. The picture of the wide open windows and bar seating area is a bit mis-leading. Yes the common eating area is like this, but the view has since changed. Huge trees block the views of anything but leaves. I ended up bringing my food back to the room for a better view. We had a private room and bathroom. There was a mini fridge. The walls were thin but the ceilings were thick. Great laundry area. 40 min wash and 20 min dry in a HUGE industrial dryer. The dryer is normally for their use (sheets), but since they were done, they offered their dryer. Why is this the best hostel? LOCATION. It is literally in the middle of Queenstown, right off the lake. I walk out the door, and the lake is there. Massive numbers of shops and restaurants. Everything is within walking reach. Even a full grocery store and of course loads of tourism fun. Never tried a hostel? No problem! There are private rooms with private bathrooms. This place can't be passed up!

This ain’t the Grand Hyatt, you’re not going find a mint under your pillow, Friday and Saturday nights it can get a bit raucous outside, inside the guests were very well behaved. But clean, functional and a tremendous value , with excellent kitchen facilities, and the best location in Queenstown.

A cama era boa, com tomada, luz individual e cortina. Ar condicionado com temperatura pré-definida pela hospedagem. Um pouco mais de ventilação natural seria bom. A hospedagem é bem no centro da cidade. Dependendo do dia e do movimento, pode haver mais ou menos barulhos dos bares e restaurantes ao redor.

Jason • Family Trip

We reserved the private room for 3 and it was fantastic. Property is located in the middle of everything! The kitchen is well equipped and very nice although a bit crowded at times. Laundry was the most expensive we found in our travels but we were in the heart of Queenstown so I guess that should be expected.

Simon • Solo Trip

Room was cosy and clean, a good size for my needs. Hostel is located near the waterfront, with easy access to pkenty of eating options and activities. Area can get noisy into the late hours due to proximity to bars and restaurants, especially at weekends. Staff were friendly and helpful.

客室は広い。ベッド下にロッカーがあるので、南京錠などを持参すると良い。バスタオルはタダで貸してくれる。徒歩圏内にお土産屋さん、スーパー、レストランあり。インターシティバス停とのアクセスも良い。周りが繁華街のため、夜も少しうるさいので、気になる人は避けた方がよい。
