This is fantastic, a location close to everything and the staff are brilliant and helpful. It's atmosphere is cozy and warm, everyone is friendly. It really is a brilliant place to stay. Highly recommended, you can go on your own and be playing piano, or sitting on the couches, it's spacious. The kitchens large, with plenty of space, large tables to eat on, and it's clean. The balcony over looks the nice bars.. it's great for a trip to Queenstown without paying the big bucks.

Easy check in process. Room was very cold when we arrived and we had to go to reception to get them to turn on the heat pump power. The bed was very comfy and we slept well considering we were surrounded by bars. One negative was that there were no towels in the room.

Charged for three days when we had already paid for two via wotif. Probably a fault with Wotif. We have credit card details for this. Rip Off!

I liked the overall property. Didn’t like needing an app or really long password to open my door.

Really impressed with the King Room with en-suite on the third floor. Like a hotel room. The only downside was the noise from the nightclubs in the alley below. Especially loud on a Friday night.

Thanks for your awesome review. We are sorry you may have had a little bit of noise from the bar below. The next time you stay with us, please let us know and we can try and accommodate a quieter room. See you next time :)

Had a private double room, with en suite - so not typical hostel experience. Very nice room and facilities - basic, but good clean "motel" quality. Good view from upper floor and balcony. Nice and central in Queenstown. But expensive (paying for the location, of course).
