Unfortunately we mistook this for a Hotel and not a Hostel considering the price, so were quite shocked when we arrived. The room was very small and the "en-suite" was a cupboard. Of course no facilities in the room. Extremely noisy with people opening and slamming doors until quite late, then during the night the wind came up and made an awful whistling sound and draft through the window, actually knocking off an item left on the window sill. No sleep that night!!

A completely average stay. The room was as basic as it gets. Ok if you want to be in and out overnight but do not expect any frills.

Amazing location. Next door to grocery (New World), coffee shop, pastry and crepe and within a few mins walk to Patagonia Ice Cream and the lakefront. We stayed in twin room. The room was simple with only beds and rubbish bin but beds are comfy and towels are provided. Kitchen is by far the best we have seen in NZ backpackers & holiday park. Fully equipped and have enough fridge and shelves for everyone, plus they offer free milk for coffee (dairy and vegan). Bathrooms are great. Small but clean and there are enough cubicles so you never need to wait.

No. Just no.
The stafff were friendly and helpful. The pricepoint was extremely high for what you get. There was laundry and rubbish bags lining the halls waiting to be collected. Even if you have no where else to stay, dont stay here. It's to expensive for what you get. And you get sweet f.a.

The room is quite small without any facilities. You must use the common rooms i.e. tv room, kitchen in different floor. Anyway, the location is OK . You can walk 5 minutes to the lake.
