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?

Nothing really. Some noise at night, but that goes with a central location!
Place has a really good feel to it, from the front desk welcome to the tone of the hostel "housekeeping" notices to the handpicked flowers in the common room and herbs in the kitchen. We had the big posh room which was very comfortable, but everyone else seemed happy with their rooms too and the communal areas are dry good. Plenty of character, very central and simple breakfast included.

It felt a little outdated but this wasn’t something that bothered us!
The owners are so welcoming and helpful. Location is great. All the facilities are clean. Good pressure shower which maintains temperature. The breakfast each morning was amazing with lots of options - the homemade bread and yoghurt are so good! Really enjoyed our 5 night stay here and would definitely return.

The owners were so welcoming and made the stay what it was. We had quite a stressful arrival into Napier with our car having to be towed and doing a triathlon the next morning. They made us feel at ease once we got there and made sure everything we needed was accommodated for

Towels are on request, don't forget to ask for it once you check in. Bathrooms facilities were a old English fashion, hot and cold water separate taps. .
Exceptional customer service. Manager got our of their way to assist us with our issues. We appreciate that a lot. Location was perfect right in the center of the city. Continental breakfast was served, which included home made yogurt and cakes. It was delicious. Place was perfectly clean.

Our stay was too short
Michelle was great! Her fresh baked bread every morning was AMAZING! We stayed in a new room configuration, the bed was wonderfully comfortable, but this room would be better if there was 3 of us. The showers and toilets were CLEAN! The whole property was super clean! Great location, grocery, beach, shops, laundry, and stairs within easy walking distance. Every common room was comfortable and welcoming.
