    Pros +

    • Amazing kitchen and Lounge areas, great locker and a lot of privacy on the pods!
    • The free veggie soup is great. Good location. Parking. Comfortable beds.
    • Location is convenient which is why we booked it. WIFI is good.

    Cons -

    • Being a hot summer night, the room was a little bit too hot. The bathroom was spotless at check-in, but would need an extra clean along the day.
    • Breakfast depletes really quickly.
    • We booked non-refundable bed which was shared with six people. The description of the booking was not clear. It feels deceiving. The manager refused to refund the two other nights after we checked out early. They were able to sell it to someone else.

    Clean & friendly staff

    9LauriePosted on: 2-17-2026

    Efficient check in, friendly staff, I was only there a very short night so did not get to use the facilities or meet others in my room, but I can recommend location. Had the 4 bed with kitchen and patio and it was a really cool set up.

    10JessiePosted on: 2-17-2026

    This is fantastic accomodation on a budget. I opted for the 4-pod room (they call it the 'Penthouse') which has its own kitchenette and balcony. I wondered how I would get on with having other people in the room but we didn't hear a thing from each other once the curtains were across. The bed was comfortable. It is the type of place that attracts mature (not old, just mature) solo travellers who are on a budget but don't want to stay in a hostel. All 4 of us were very happy with the accomodation. The communal kitchen was also great and very clean. It was smack bang in the middle of Queenstown too, and has a lovely view from our room.

    I can't think of anything!

    9ShanePosted on: 2-16-2026

    Location, pod privacy, good value

    9ViggoPosted on: 2-14-2026

    Clean, couldn’t have better location, incredible staff, overall great

    Bit pricey, no free towels (for that price)

    10ChenPosted on: 2-13-2026

    Staffs are friendly, facility is good and clean. Bed is big and comfy

    8ReneePosted on: 2-11-2026

    The staff were really nice and friendly. I did the kepler track and they offered to keep anything while i was away which was really useful. The location was great and quite. Beds were comfyLots of hooks and big locker in rooms

    The showers were not great. I tried a couple of different ones and couldn't get water a consistent temperature. Would keep going from extremely hot to cold. The bunks were not quite high enough between them, i had to slump while sitting to not bang my head

    10RobinPosted on: 2-8-2026

    Place was amazing compared to other hostels. 4 huge beds. (Maybe kings) kitchen and fridge in the room. Big outside area. And that was just the room. Hostel has other loungerooms and outside areas. Awesome view of town, mtns and can see the lake a bit. Has its own parking lot for good price

    Shower I used needs some work, went hot and cold alot. Thats it.

    9NormaPosted on: 2-8-2026

    The location of the hostel is perfect. The room and beds were great. It was very spacious and the bathrooms and kitchens were very nice. I had only been at a hostel once before and this was closer to being a hotel than a hostel. If more hostels were like this one I could become to a backpacker.

    10StephaniePosted on: 2-7-2026

    Very clean and extremely comfortable beds with plug sockets in each bed. Fantastic location!

    7JanetPosted on: 2-7-2026

    The facilities were nice and clean.

    My little, labeled, unopened bottle of milk was stolen from the communal fridge, just a few hours after I'd put it in. The staff were not on duty at 9.30am and the luggage cupboard was left unlocked, which didn't feel secure.

    Everything…location. Comfortable bed and lovely sheets, quiet, lovely deck and lounge area

    I liked everything

    10XuhePosted on: 2-4-2026

    It’s close to everything. The staff at the reception was warm. Good vibe in the common area. The kitchen is clean and has plenty of appliances to use. The interior was clean and the decorations were beautiful.

    I generally like this place. Just if you have very heavy suitcases, you will need to take it upstairs.

    8NaomiPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Clean bedding and bathroom. I liked the privacy of the pods

    The walls were very thin and you could hear other dorms very easily

    10AnnaPosted on: 2-3-2026

    location, comfortable bed

    one bathroom in my section and sink in bathroom made for long waits

    10GeorgiaPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Good location, comfortable, staff were extremely friendly

    No plugs in any of the bathrooms

    9FelicityPosted on: 2-2-2026

    Only stayed 1 night; perfect for our needs. Fairly central. Clean. Very comfortable bed (we booked a double). Helpful staff. Stored our luggage for no charge while we went on a hike. Friendly guests in the shared area.
