The hostel is right behind the main bus stop in Queenstown and very easy to get around town. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The female’s dorm has its own bathroom which is convenient. The bed is comfy.

I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay a high rate like that you should expect more.

Staff were great, room was great, only thing that was disappointing was the TV, it only had netflix which was fine but it would buffer so I couldn't watch any tv. I ended up watching on my phone.

Clean, warm and friendly

Solo traveller here on a snowboarding trip stayed in the 6 pod room with ensuite for 4 nights and really pleased with my stay. Communal lounge and kitchen were warm and very clean. Bathrooms and showers were clean overall. Some of the showers didn’t have their shower doors close quite properly though so water would splash out quite easily so after a few showers the bath mat was soaked. But the staff had cleaned and dried the shower by the next day with a fresh bath mat so all good. Only needed to interact with reception staff a couple of times but they were all good and helpful when I did. Room was warm enough and even on the winter nights, there were some nights I had to kick the duvet off because it was too warm. But would rather have that than being cold. Luckily my fellow roomies were pretty chill too which made the stay nice. Also great that it’s so close to town and bus stop to go to airport. Will definitely stay here again.
