There could have been a temporary parking in front of the hostel to load/unload luggage rather than parking at the multi storey car park to walk all the way to the hostel with the luggage. You have to close the window as you can hear noises from the street but it was tolerable for us.
The room was big considering in city area, great location. So near to Ferburger and Fergbaker! The bathroom was spacious and sparkling clean.

“Disappointing”
- • Leisure trip

I am trying to be fair so I am giving this place 4 out of 10. This place had a rating of 8.6 when I booked so I was really encouraged. However, I was highly disappointed. I don't need to go through everything bad there, but I can say this, I have travelled to tens of countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels/motels/apartments and even hostels, it was the first time for me where I had to check out after a couple of hours of checking in.
good location and it looked nice from outside

In general, this hostel is not as good as other yha hostels imo. Everything is rather old. The room I was in was quite dark, due to the window facing a wall. It also didn't smell good. Beds seemed a little bit too short.
Staff was very friendly. Location is also perfect. The view of the kitchen is nice as well.

The smell of chargrilled meat from nearby restaurants was a tad overpowering and nothing to wipe hands on in the kitchen. Not much to complain about really!
Room was comfy, kitchen facilities were fantastic with beautiful view over Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables. Staff were really friendly and accommodating and I love their environmental/sustainable attitude and practices. I will definitely stay there again.
