Hostel Toad Hall Backpackers

11 Shakespeare Road, 4110 Napier, New Zealand –

Lock in a great price for Toad Hall Backpackers – rated 8.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

A very nice place with a nice bit of local history. They had a book exchange, and DVDs in the common room. Beds were comfortable. Walking distance to every where in town.

Robert, United States of America

Great breakfast, great staff. They had some issues with the room but arrange another room right away.

Dayana, Brazil

Breakfast was great, awesome to share the big table with travellers :)

Debi, New Zealand

spacious and comfy lounge areas, great view of the city on the roof with relaxing hammocks, convenient location (within walking distance to CBD), staffs were very friendly and helpful.

Xiangpo, New Zealand

I thought the I presume they were owners, were extremely friendly. It was nice and pleasant.

Vanessa, New Zealand

staff and the restaurant in the first floor was great

Wei, Australia

Good location, comfortable room, hearty breakfast.

Rob, United States of America

Clean, wonderful staff, great location, very nice breakfast! Nothing not to like!

Zachary, United States of America

The location is superb and good environment. I love the top roof you can see fantastic view. Helpful and friendly staff!

Wanvisa, Thailand

From the moment I stepped into the building I was made very comfortable and welcome. The room was cosy but ideal for one; fresh linens and my own sink. The whole building was kept very clean and tidy, I saw cleaners every day and the kitchen was always pristine, as well as fully stocked with all cutlery and crockery and recycling facilities. There are 2 lounge areas, plus a rooftop terrace, all very inviting, and the free breakfast with homemade bread was absolutely fantastic, more so because it means all guests come together so for a solo traveller it makes meeting new people pleasantly easy. I told the hosts when booking of my caffeine allergy and they put out so many caffeine-free teas for me it was delightful! The location is absolutely perfect so not having a car here would be no disadvantage at all.

An Inside Look at Toad Hall Backpackers

Based in an historic Spainish Mission bulding we have lots of stories to tell you.Originally a hotel, it was the first to serve beer after the 1931 earthquake. We like to think the barman dusted himself off and declared "I need a beer, how about you?

Building is in need of renovation, it was clean but as clean as a building like that can be at this stage. I felt uncomfortable and can't really explain why. Breakfast was not good because of the way it was presented, might have been fault of other guests but staff could have made sure it looked at least a little bit inviting.
Friendly and helpful staff, very good location.

It can be quite noisy from the music at the bar next door on a Friday night, but during the rest of the nights I was there (Tues, Wed, Thurs) there was no noise at all.
Super friendly and approachable staff, and very clean. Could not beat this place for location either. Perfect place if you need somewhere to just lay your head in Napier.
