Staff was good, facilities were good. But room was very noisy (earplugs on the pillows should have been a give away.) Not their fault, the central location is just in the heart of the all night club zone. But if you need to sleep, think about staying somewhere a little more out of the action.

It's an older, well used property. Basic amenities. We didn't take advantage of the kitchen facility but looked like the young adults were getting good use out of it. Good value considering how popular the area is. We loved our small balcony.

Ashley

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Thank goodness I was only staying for 3 nights. I understand it’s a hostel, but it’s impossible to sleep. For 3 nights in a row, either the hostel itself or a bar right next door was blasting music until 3 AM in the morning; I literally laid in bed from 10 PM to 2 AM one night trying to fall asleep. Need to soundproof the doors more/be more considerate of guests who aren’t staying in Queenstown just to drink and party. If I came to Queenstown again, I’d rather pay 3x the amount and get a hotel. Room itself was ok. Shower door doesn’t seal, so it constantly flooded the bathroom and left a mildew smell.

Great! Stay in double bed room

Jared at the front desk is awesome. I only wish that there was a hallway light into my room. I booked a double, thinking that I had full bath access. The baths are shared. I love that they offer cooking class as well as you get a free dinner. I'm not sure when they cook for the free dinner but when I checked in I was told that there was going to be complementary Indian food in the kitchen if I wanted some. The theme does change. You use an app to unlock your door. Unfortunately the app keeps messing up and for some reason it takes about 15 tries for my door to open There is a sona, it is usually occupied and I think it only seats two people. When I went up it was occupied by two gentlemen, so it was a tight fit for two people. There is also a backyard terrace. Parking can be a little tricky. I parked on the street in front of the hostel, and got lucky both times. They have some pretty cool stickers I purchase. Super convenient location to downtown Queenstown. Literally a 6 minute walk

Not really what we class as a hotel room, no chairs to sit on, no counter space in the bathroom, no suitcase stand. Was close to the action, but horrendously loud at night, hence the complimentary ear plugs, not sufficient to drown out the noise until 2:am. Would not stay there again.
