United StatesThe common areas are well kept, clean, and spacious. Felt very comfortable using the kitchen and dining area. There was a nice system for labeling food and the like. The bed was comfy, the room was big enough although not overly spacious. Check in and check out were very quick and easy. Walking distance to everything you need! Really great experience staying here!

TaiwanThe front desk staff has a very welcoming attitude(sometimes some place will have bad attitude). He even introduced himself personally and gave us his heartfelt blessings when we left, it was truly touching and grateful.
We had a wonderful two-night stay, and the amenities were fully equipped. 🧡

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.

Hostels that guests love in Wanaka
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 727 reviewsIt was a pleasant stay and Jjen (not sure of spelling) was very helpful and kind. The first night came with a rough morning because of all the people going in and out of the door right by my head very early in the morning (fresh powder!) Not the hostels fault I know, but hard to sleep. But Jjen switched me to a room further down and it was loads better. The kitchen was very busy most of the time so I didn't cook there. But it was clean in the morning. It was a great location and nice staff.Guest review byPattiSolo traveler

Lots of cooking space, as well as eating space. I was in a 3 person bedroom - not bunk beds which was nice. Good wifi, nice staff.
