YMCA Christchurch Hostel

I guess for the price you can't expect much, but I was a little bit annoyed that I my towel taken away by the cleaning staff. I had to hunt them down and then they said that I needed to have my towel close to where I was sleeping, but it was a dorm. There were no places to hang towels. Also, I overslept and didn't check out on time. Yes that's my own fault, but when I quickly went to the bathroom and went back to the room it was already locked still with my bags in there. I thought that was a little rude.

Very good value for money. My double room had a wee balcony. Nice and quiet most of the time. Very nice bathroom and comfortable bed. Lovely quiet lounge on each floor with a lovely view over Hagley Park. Excellent location. So close to the centre of town The only thing that could improve would be a freezer in the kitchen.

The bathroom at third floor was old and not that clean compared to those at second floor. But the price for rooms at both floors were the same.

Good service and good condition of unit ,well worth it.

Stayed twice, preferred my first room with three beds, new bathrooms really nice.

This hostel is very convenient to anything you want to see in Christchurch or the transport you need to go further afield. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Great location for visiting Christchurch

Affordable stay in a nice location next to botanic gardens. It was hot while we were there, and our west-facing room was very warm and stuffy, but it cooled down once the sun set. Appreciated having towels provided. Would have liked to have free Wi-Fi.

Classic hostel-style acccommodations in an appealing location next to Christchurch botanic gardens. No AC, and our west-facing room was hot and stuffy on a very warm day, but we discovered we could borrow a fan from the front desk, and that helped some. Glad to have towels provided, but wish the Wi-Fi were free.

The hotel was bulk standard, we had a shared bathroom that only had a bath no shower. Not the best arrangement.
