“You get what you pay for. This is an up- market backpackers, not a hotel.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 1 night
One of the front desk staff was unnecessarily pedantic. Check in was 14:30, and even at 14:21 she refused to hand over the keys because it was not time yet. Ridiculous. Her colleagues were much friendlier and more helpful.
Very basic but affordable in the heart of Queenstown.

Could get a bit loud at night (especially when two girls in your room snore). It's big and anonymous.
The location is hard to beat- right in the center, kitchen view is towards the lake. Kitchen looks new and is very clean, nice to hang out there. Also, they provided earplugs for free on the pillows, which was a nice touch- it might get loud, but we got you!

“VERY GOOD HOSTEL IN CENTRAL QUEENSTOWN”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 4 Bed Dormitory Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
The dorm was big but there were no lockers, which in my opinion are essential in a hostel. The décor is a bit dated. There is no lift in the building, therefore guests have to drag their luggage upstairs.
The kitchen and lounge are spacious and well kept. The views from the lounge are amazing. The wifi is wonderfully fast. The location is super central.

Amazing kitchen facilities. So clean and comfortable it was brilliant and the view from the kitchen is just stunning!!! We were blown away by the location, central to everything and the rooms were comfortable. Thanks for having us!!!
