Uptodate and secure facilities, in a modern building with lift access. Well stocked except for a clean towel which I would have appreciated.

Had a fantastic stay, nice private curtains in dorm but my one qualm was the bed was very hard and the room was hot, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Other than that I loved the hostel

Great place to stay. A calm and clean place. Only thing I can think to complain about is the shower pressure. One time it was fine, then the next time it was barely a dribble, despite no one else using the showers at the same time. Otherwise was a perfect stay.

It was my first time in a very long time in a back packers sharing all common areas. I feel a cleaner should be on hand to clear the areas left messy by alot of people with low cleanliness standards. The kitchen shared equipment needs to be update ie fridges & cupboards. The room I shared was stuffy with no windows and a noisy air vent humming all night so this was uncomfortable. A lovely senior staff member helped with our non working room facilities. Air con should be in every room esp with 2 or more people sharing. The view and location was amazing. Linen clean and comfy beds. I would request a room with windows next time. As we were on a road trip parking was an issue when unpacking our personal effects. possibly obtaining a few spaces in the back of the complex would be convenient. all in all a pleasant 2 day stay.

Hi there Amanda, thank you for your review. We are working to improve our kitchen facilities. Paihia is such a lovely quaint little town that unfortunately has very limited parking for the whole of the township. If you ever return, we would love to explain parking to you to make it a smoother arrival and departure experience.
