Satu-satunya hal yang baik tentang tempat ini adalah lokasinya. Kamar mandi dan showernya kotor, jadi saya mandi di gym selama saya menginap. Dikatakan tenang setelah jam 10 malam, tetapi tamu bodoh mengadakan pesta dengan lagu-lagu keras sepanjang malam dan tidak ada staf yang mengurusnya. Saya sangat malu sampai harus tidur dengan earphone saya.

This place has a great location, a spacious hostel, a kind and laidback staff, and a nice atmosphere and decor. The room was nice and warm with the heater. There is a spa pool, but i didnt see anyone use it. They offer offstreet parking, which is rare in queenstown, so its definitely a big plus. However, the wifi was a disaster, very slow and cut in and out dozens of times. The walls are paper thin, and the bunk beds are more shaky than other hostels ive stayed at. On my last day, i walked in on the cleaning lady, and she didnt bring any linens in or out of the room, so i didnt see how she could change them, which really confused me. Also, the floors, couch, and surfaces of the room didnt seem clean. If you want to guarantee a spot, you have to arrive in the morning as people leave. After lunch, spots fill up quickly, and they are all taken by mid to late afternoon. Another warning a lot gnarly, very small, and tight. To top it off, people squeeze into any small hole, making it difficult to enter or exit. If you drive a large car or are not the best at parking, it may stress you out.

The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is quite good. The common room was always full of this one group of nasty guests, but we were fortunate to have quiet neighbors. Quite decent accommodation, but it really depends on who happens to be here at the same time.

Ada dua dapur bersama di dalam gedung. Saya meninggalkan samjang dan saus minyak goreng di lemari es abu-abu tanpa resepsionis. Ada tertulis dalam bahasa Korea bahwa ini gratis. Lokasi properti bagus. Harap cuci peralatan dapur satu kali sebelum digunakan. Kamar mandi dan toilet agak tidak nyaman.

Semua rusak dan sebagian kotor, WiFi hampir tidak berfungsi sama sekali. Tempat parkir: Secara teoritis tersedia ketika kami tiba mobil memblokir seluruh pintu masuk dan keluar dan itu mengganggu ketika Anda ingin pergi. Jika tidak, tempat parkir di sudut Queenstown akan baik-baik saja. Kebersihan: Tidak tersedia. Ada kotoran di mana-mana dan beberapa bagian yang rusak berserakan. Misalnya potongan dinding atau setengah tali penegang. Semuanya benar-benar rusak di suatu tempat. Pelapisnya berwarna hitam yang tidak menimbulkan rasa percaya diri tertentu. Harga: Mengingat hal ini, harganya sangat tinggi. Hostel lain menawarkan lebih banyak dengan biaya yang hampir tidak lebih tinggi. Staf: Setidaknya itu sangat baik. Saya minta maaf atas ulasan buruk, tetapi sayangnya itu pantas. Orang lain juga sangat baik. Oleh karena itu satu bintang lagi. Lokasi: Sangat bagus.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. We asked how to go to the airport and the guy at reception was very thorough with his answer. There is free parking at the back of the building. The hostel is walking distance to the town center(given queenstown is small with only a few main streets). Wifi was spotty in the dorm. The dorm room is quite small, but ive been to an even smaller hostel dorm. There is one girl in the dorm who had a lot of stuff so the girl sharing the bed didnt have anywhere to put her stuff so her stuff blocked the door to the facilities. The price is quite affordable compared to other places around queenstown. The facilities could be cleaner. The hand soap dispenser didnt work properly in dorm 1 and 2. That could be replaced. Apart from that, it was a great stay. After our trek, we will be back to stay for 2 nights before flying home.

The room is small and empty. The kitchen and shower are in good condition and clean. The selection of dvds is great. The owner is a great guy and very nice. The place is very cute and homey.

The receptionists were very helpful. The location is also good. Parking is available, but not easy to find in queenstown.

Very authentic hostel, less busy than nomads with the same utilities.

Semuanya baik-baik saja di Queenstown. Kecuali akomodasi ini Satu-satunya hal yang baik adalah lokasinya? Itu lebih baik, tapi masih ada satu hal yang baik. Saya bahkan tidak bisa mandi di sini. Ada juga kamar mandi di depan kamar dan itu terlalu keras sehingga saya tidak bisa tidur.

As a solo traveler, it can be challenging to get reliable and reliable wifi. The eightbed mixed room boasts an amazing ensuite! The shower pressure is adequate, and the room features a small kitchen area that is useful and wellequipped. The complimentary spa is a bonus as well, however, it would be beneficial if the wifi had been stronger and not unreliable at random.

Jalan setapaknya sempit, ventilasi kamarnya sangat buruk, sprei dan bantalnya bernoda, bahkan ada bulu dan rambut bekas tamu sebelumnya. Kamar mandi umum terlalu kecil dan tidak ada ruang tambahan untuk ganti baju dan air akan menumpuk di lantai.

I have stayed in a number of different hostels in Queenstown, but this one has far been my favorite and one I will undoubtedly return to! It's nothing fancy, but it's a hostel, so you get what you pay for! The vibe of the hostel is very social and welcoming, other hostels I've stayed in have an absence of social aspect and were a little too strict for my tastes. Not this one! They are easy going and understand how important it is for nomad travelers to meet and socialize with new people. The staff was nothing but friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable and there was a hot tub which was a nice bonus! I would definitely advise these little businesses to receive all the help they can get, especially during times of hardship and uncertainty.

I spent more than ten days at Southern laughter and was extremely pleased with my visit. This hostel is in a great location and offers a great value for money. We had no problems and the staff was very friendly and cervical. The atmosphere here is very friendly, relaxed and the ideal place to meet new people. I just wish I could have remained longer!

I've stayed in a few different hostels in Queenstown, but this one has far outperformed others and is one I will undoubtedly return to in the future. Although it's nothing spectacular, it's a hostel, so you get what you pay for! The hostel has a very social and friendly vibe, however, other hostels I've been in have lacked a social component and were a little too strict for my tastes. But not this one! They are easy going and are aware of the importance of meeting and socializing with new people as nomads. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the room is clean and cozy, and there is a hot tub, which is a nice touch! I would definitely recommend these little businesses to get the best assistance they can get, especially during times of difficulty and uncertainty.
