Hostels in Canterbury

"Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kaikoura Seaside Lodge. Excellent communication regarding access and keys. Great kitchen facilities. Loved the body wash, handwash and towels in the bathrooms. Would recommend highly and will stay next time we are in Kaikoura. A great asset for Kaikoura."

"We had an excellent stay at this property. We had the entire place to ourselves and also met the owner. She was sweet and caring. Will stay again. - canada. "

"Great facilities all round, affordable, central, staff friendly and helpful "

"The only thing was that I was used to a firmer mattress. And maybe an extra pillow would have been helpful."

"We were so pleasantly surprised by our stay at The Black Horse!! Looks way nicer than the pictures and has such a lovely character. The rooms have all been recently renovated and we even got a sunny window which was nice to read your book in. Also there is a kitchen! So you can totally cook your own meals just like in a hostel. Such value for money!! Would so stay here again, thank you MJ for hosting us :)"

"Very welcoming "

"Great atmosphere "

"Good eatery street just behinds the hostel."

"Loved the pets"

"Stayed 2nights in private double. Late check in email stated room would be unlocked - it wasn't. Nobody answered the phone. We had to stretch in the window to unlock the door. The room stank. Really horrible old damp smell. Next day we were locked out of our room with our belongings inside "pending payment" - payment had been taken online already. Took 5 phone calls to get keys to our room sorted."

"The location of this place was great, and the staff were friendly. However the kitchen was dirty and had very few usable utensils or tools, the locks on the bathrooms didn't work, some of the lights wouldn't turn on, and all of the surfaces in our room were slightly sticky. Also, although I realise this isn't something the management have any control over, my children were exposed to language that I was extremely uncomfortable with from other guests."

"Good location to centre. We were arriving outside office hours but they left a hand written note and map that we appreciated with the key. Private room was comfortable but outside walk to toilets and showers. Good hostel stay. "
