This hostel is located in a 19th century heritage mansion, just 5 minutes’ walk from Hamilton city centre. It offers a fully equipped guest kitchen and free Wi-Fi in all dormitories and private rooms.

Bed linen, pillows and blankets are supplied in all air conditioned rooms at Pring Guesthouse. A locker room is accessible outside dormitories for guests to keep their valuables.

It was my first stay in a hostel and the experience was amazing. The care and attention to every detail make all the difference in this place.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Wonderful host! Tim was incredibly hospital and engaging. It felt like I was staying at a friends place. I loved the common areas (living room with lots of books, a very well stocked kitchen, and a patio space outside). I felt very safe, comfortable, and welcome. The guesthouse provided many amenities that I was not expecting! Laundry, towels, free food, a lock for my locker, bathroom supplies, books, etc. This place just had great vibes, and I wanted to stay longer. Thank you so much!

    I stayed in the Women's Dorm. I had it to myself that weekend but there was plenty of space for 4. It had the nostalgic feeling of being at camp but with the Big Girls, lol! There is a communal kitchen, nice back patio and yard and the house is of beautiful 18th Century architecture. This is a guest house (or hostel) that caters to backpackers, so keep that in mind. This will be my go to place whenever I go to Hamilton.
