The keyless code system worked well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Comfortable, good facilities, and very convenient to the centre of town and bus routes
Bernadette, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well, the staff was very lovely, and all the areas very well cleaned. Close to town and the price absolutely worth it.

Alice, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights in Queenstown. The location was close to the Queenstown gardens and to many nice restaurants and shopping. We also rented bikes from the hostel and biked all around the Frankton Arm. The hot tub and outdoor seating were a bonus as well!
Victoria, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

location great but felt for what our room was ,was somewhat overpriced
Monica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although there were 2 bathrooms I found them to not have enough hanging space, bathroom benches were small and often wet to put anything on. Had to use toilet paper to wipe dry, no paper towels. The second shower offered no privacy to change or dress or shelf to put shampoo etc on
Lee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One annoying thing was that the sauna ‘wasn’t working’ the whole time I was there and I was there for 7 days
Deann, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

When booking our reservation, there were definitely a few potentially concerning reviews, but frankly I have to wonder if those people understood they were booking at a hostel. The overall experience was quite good -- my partner and I stayed in one of the private rooms and while it was a nice stay. Bed was quality, good black-out blinds for the windows. Heater was very effective. Helpful friendly staff. Objectively, the fact that you have to go outside and walk a bit to access the bathroom and the bathroom needs a keycode to enter becomes a bit annoying, but you do not need your phone to enter the bathroom as one reviewer seemed to think.
Zachary, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Restroom was outside, so inconvenient
REIKO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Private room was good size and comfortable, but there was nowhere to hang a towel. Would’ve been good to have a socket by the bed and a lamp in the room. Hostel itself has nice facilities - good kitchen for cooking, big communal lounge area which always has someone in it, outdoor tables, clean bathrooms and showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is close to town but a short walk up a hill. There were a lot of long term stays which did make the social vibe a bit different and maybe not so geared towards solo travellers just passing through for a few days, although everyone I spoke to was really nice.
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Loud with issues - Very Nice staff
Super nice staff in a convenient area. Unfortunately noise was a frequent issue- be it door slamming, drinking, people wrestling at night, blasting music etc. Broken hot tub not fixed the week I was there, kitchen burners not working well, Wi-Fi unable to keep up with the demand on it. The staff are quite helpful and really pleasant- the accommodation is lacking in many areas unfortunately so I cannot recommend it overall.

夜になるとスタッフがいないため、ハメをはずすゲスト。 また、チェックインがミッドナイト 2時以降で4時近く迄ガサガサと騒音が止まらない。

TAKEUCHI, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

クイーンズタウン中心部から徒歩10分程度、空港から市内のシャトルバスの停留所から徒歩5分と非常に便利なロケーションにあります。初めてこの手の施設を利用したので最初使い方には戸惑いましたがスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれます。（専用のアプリをダウンロードしてチェックイン、ルームキーやお風呂のキーも、そのアプリに表示される形です） 共用のキッチンは広く、フライパンや色々なものが揃っています。（電子レンジやポットなどもあります。コーヒー・紅茶はfreeです） 共用のシャワーバスとトイレは一緒になっていて、脱衣所がないので最初どうしようかな、と？思いましたが手洗い場をうまく使って乗り切りました。シャワーバスの左右にはフックがあり物が掛けられるようになってます。そこに着替えなどが入る袋をかけておくと便利かもしれません。ドライヤーは備え付けがあるので便利です。かなりオススメです！
