Clean, centrally located, unlimited and reliable WI Fi. YMCA Christchurch is among the few NZ hospitality operations that cater to travelers by providing them with the amenities that we need without charging extra exorbitant prices or with time curfew like the overwhelming majority of NZ hostels

cordial and helpful response to any questions Restaurant adjacent was too pricey. Lacked a homily atmosphere.

Fred, France

Mary-ann, New Zealand

We always stay at the the YMCA because the location is excellent, service very good and rooms adequate and clean

Gary, New Zealand

Superbly sited for my surgery at Christchurch Public Hospital the following day. No hospital parking worries; no early start from rural North Canterbury. It took 10 mins to walk from the hostel to the main entrance of the hospital for my 7.30 am call time. It was a bonus to enjoy the surrounding neighbourhood on the evening of our stay - what a five star site!

Jeneane, United Kingdom

We really enjoyed our stay. Front desk guys were very helpul, we loved the warm bed and it is pretty close to the main streets and attractions.

Central location with free onsite parking. A fantastic restaurant downstairs (Duo) with excellent food, friendly and professional service and best hot chocolate ever.

Julie, New Zealand

This is budget accommodation at its finest. Facilities were amazing, rooms and bathrooms brand new! Newly renovated rooms and bathrooms makes this place amazing value for money. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout my stay. Hanna in the Peterpans travel shop inside the hostel was also extremely helpful. This place has it all and a good go to when in CHC. Thanks for a lovely stay. I will be back again.

“Clean facilities, room looked like it was recently refurbished and the staff were so nice and friendly. We stayed in a 3 bed dorm and it was perfect - the bathroom was right outside the room so it was like having an en-suite! Really central location.”

눉We arrived in late 1.30am after booking several weeks before. Our room on the fourth floor was not only cold, but the cleanliness was average, one only electric blanket on one of the two single beds. It was -1 deg.The staff member kindly opened the kitchen for us to make a cup of tea. The state of the kitchen was a disgrace. Dirty dishes left in dirty water in the sink, benches not wiped down, food scraps everywhere. We have four children who have travelled extensively who know not to leave common property in such a state. We were disappointed as we always stay in the YMCA, and have not had an experience like this before.
