Hostels in Canterbury, New Zealand

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. It's just a few steps from the InterCity bus stop, right next to the Dark Sky Project for stargazing, and there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Shepherd's Church is only a ten-minute walk away, and Lake Tekapo is right outside the door. The cleanliness was good, and the facilities were quite new. Service: Almost non-existent, as it's a hostel and mostly self-service. The front desk staff wasn't very friendly.

Great location right by a beautiful lake — perfect for the scenery. The accommodation was generally clean and comfortable, and the bathroom in particular was well-maintained. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, a toaster, and microwave. However, some of the cookware could use a proper clean as there is burnt residue on them, and a few of the stovetops don’t work reliably. Cleanliness could be improved overall, as there was some rubbish under the bed. The walls are quite thin, so noise can be an issue — you can hear people walking up and down, as well as doors banging from guests coming in and out of rooms. It’s worth noting that guests need to bring their own towels, make their own beds on arrival, and ***** the sheets before leaving. Overall, a pleasant stay in a fantastic location, with just a few practical improvements needed.

The hotel is conveniently located right by a bus stop, making it super easy to get to the airport. It's also very close to the commercial center, which is great for shopping. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but the cleanliness is quite good.

We came late at night because of our flight. Self check in on the tablet in front of reception was really easy and fast. We booked an additional late check-out until 1pm directly during check-in for $10 extra. However, the automatic reminder mails from Lylo stated 11am as check-out time and also our keycard didn‘t work anymore, when we came back to the hotel at 12pm - should really improve this in your software.  The room was really nice and comfy, had AC and you can also use their really big kitchen and lounge on 1F. There‘s also free coffee/tee and a kettle on 2F, where our room was located.

When I checked into the hotel that day, the front desk lady was very enthusiastic, introduced the basic situation of the hotel, and specially said that the door was closed at night, how to open the door, and then introduced the parking spot for the Christchurch bus, and walked less.

A short walk to the main town and has ample parking on the street. Check in and out were quick and easy. The room and bathroom itself was clean and comfortable. Minor note was that the sound insulation between the rooms are not as superb, so you could hear faint voices from the other room.

The best thing about this Haka in Christchurch is its super close proximity to the Botanic Gardens. Basically, you just cross the street and you're there. As for cleanliness, it's neither outstanding nor bad. The triple room had a bunk bed plus a single bed, with the single bed facing the window. Compared to other Haka accommodations, the layout here felt a bit cramped. Also, the bunk beds in this Haka weren't as sturdy as those in Queenstown and Wanaka – they creaked quite a bit when getting on or off. However, this Haka has plenty of bathrooms, one in the triple room itself and three more outside on the floor, which is really convenient.

An absolutely fabulous place. Really playing on yhe history of the building all while still giving privacy, security and fun. Location is super close to a variety of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores, and a general store for those forgotten small items. Parking is free but it's a first come, first serve scenario. I loved staying there and highly recommend to any traveler looking for a funky and reasonably priced accommodation.

Haka House Hostels Aoraki Mt Cook is a fantastic base for exploring one of New Zealand’s most stunning landscapes. The hostel is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and spacious communal areas that make it easy to relax after a long day of hiking. The large kitchen is fully equipped, which is perfect for self-catering, and the lounge offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The staff are friendly and helpful, always ready with tips on local trails and weather conditions. The atmosphere is social but not too noisy, making it suitable for both solo travelers and groups. Its location is unbeatable, just a short walk from key viewpoints and tracks. Overall, a great value stay in an unforgettable setting.

タオルは借りれる＆タオルの洗濯もしてくれて、最高の宿でした！室内は広く清潔でした◎ 喉が渇いた際は、一階のバーで水をいただけて助かりました。 共有キッチンでは調理もできました！ また近くに来たら泊まります！ オーナーさんやスタッフさんも皆笑顔で優しかったです。ありがとうございました！
