to get started.

The location was within walking distance from many shops and delicious places to grab a bite to eat.

Kevin, United States of America

Location is perfect, next to I-Site office and bus stop. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable beds.

Tamara, Russia

I like how accommodating the staff were for our hens do we had. Walter was amazing with helping us out and showing us around.

Holly, New Zealand

The people were great, backpackers and staff alike. The place is very cozy and comfortable almost to the point where you don't want to leave. WiFi was great, kitchen was very spacey and complete. Loved the location. Overall a great place.

Gonzalo-g, Argentina

The beds are very comfortable. The lounge area with Netflix was super chill and the outdoor place was nice to hang and meet people. The staff are super friendly! Free pasta and rice is always great:) and the location is very convenient to anything you would want to visit in Rotorua

Judith, Netherlands

Great amenities and very friendly service, location was great too.

Matt, United States of America

The person who met me was lovely, and the room was nice. I booked for a twin room which ended up being bunk beds which isn't my thing but it was OK.

Natalie, New Zealand

Comfortable bed and the property is in a good location, easy to find

Dan, China

A good basic hostel with friendly staff. Our private double room was small but quite comfortable. Excellent location on the Main Street right across from the i-site/bus station.

Marisa, United States of America

Location is great with everything you need right around you. Private room was pretty tiny but was all we needed. Would stay again
