Best location in Queenstown by far! Fantastic family room and great kitchen. Cleaning staff were super friendly. Front staff were very unfriendly - hardly said hello and definitely didn’t want to be there… just holiday workers I believe so didn’t care at all about customer service! They need to up their game on customer service!

This ain’t the Grand Hyatt, you’re not going find a mint under your pillow, Friday and Saturday nights it can get a bit raucous outside, inside the guests were very well behaved. But clean, functional and a tremendous value , with excellent kitchen facilities, and the best location in Queenstown.

Room was cosy and clean, a good size for my needs. Hostel is located near the waterfront, with easy access to pkenty of eating options and activities. Area can get noisy into the late hours due to proximity to bars and restaurants, especially at weekends. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff were great and cleaning was fine. The room did not meet our expectations. The web description led us to believe that the amenities such as the oven would be in the room rather than in the shared kitchen. Prospective guests booking the deluxe queen or double should be made more aware that, although they will have an en-suite bathroom, it is very basic and there’s barely enough room to walk around the bed. It’s a hostel and we’ve aged-out of being comfortable with it.

Great affordable spot for our family of 4 (8mo + 2.5yo kids) during the summer month. We stayed in a family room with two bunk beds, though we didn't used the top bunks and has to co-sleep with our little ones. The highlight is the location. Smackbam in the heart of Queenstown! Staff are friendly and check-in process was smooth. The cons being the noise - bars nearby played loud music til about 11pm. And the communal kitchen - too small to accommodate the size of the hostel.

We reserved the private room for 3 and it was fantastic. Property is located in the middle of everything! The kitchen is well equipped and very nice although a bit crowded at times. Laundry was the most expensive we found in our travels but we were in the heart of Queenstown so I guess that should be expected.

Best hostel. I love old quirky buildings with cramped halls and stairs. The rooms and common areas were spacious and well arranged. The picture of the wide open windows and bar seating area is a bit mis-leading. Yes the common eating area is like this, but the view has since changed. Huge trees block the views of anything but leaves. I ended up bringing my food back to the room for a better view. We had a private room and bathroom. There was a mini fridge. The walls were thin but the ceilings were thick. Great laundry area. 40 min wash and 20 min dry in a HUGE industrial dryer. The dryer is normally for their use (sheets), but since they were done, they offered their dryer. Why is this the best hostel? LOCATION. It is literally in the middle of Queenstown, right off the lake. I walk out the door, and the lake is there. Massive numbers of shops and restaurants. Everything is within walking reach. Even a full grocery store and of course loads of tourism fun. Never tried a hostel? No problem! There are private rooms with private bathrooms. This place can't be passed up!

Can't beat the location, everything is literally in walking distance with the only need for a hire car for roaming, all the shuttles are the next street over for most activities and tours. We cracked it with free parking aswell which was close to accommodation. And views from the shared kitchen area are breathtaking. Clean accommodation, staff friendly with lots of advice.
