United States of AmericaSo I wasn’t expecting much of this place— it’s a hostel. My husband and I typically stay in somewhat fancier spots, but we booked late and didn’t have many options. But we loved it! We had a private room, and although it wasn’t exactly luxuriously decorated, it was clean and comfortable. We had all we needed. I especially appreciated their easy process for late check-ins. If you arrive after the front desk is closed, they give you a key code to open the front doors, and your room key is waiting for you on the front desk. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Amazing view, too: literally right on Lake Tekapo. :)
United States of AmericaVery nice lounge area with a view, comfortable beds, very clean.
Belgiumexcellent location , great kitchen, nice staff, clean and well organized
United States of AmericaBeautiful new facility and great location. Clean, and with lots of communal spaces to use.
United States of AmericaReally perfect spot to stay on lakefront. We'll equipped kitchen and dining areas with great view of the lake. Most comfortable bed so far
FranceAMAZING location with an incredible view from the common area. Our private bedroom had a ground level window looking out onto a bunch of trash cans, but we didn't spend too much time in the room for it to be a bother (and at least they were clean!). First class shared kitchen facilities with plenty of space. Tonnes of free parking near by. We arrived just outside of the check-in time and it was easy to get in with the instructions they sent.
