Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

1. Good location, right in the center of town but very quiet. A 3-minute walk from the intercity bus and Queenstown station orbus (to Arrowtown, to the airport station). Just across the road. Near I-site, Internet celebrity burger shop, etc. 2. The hotel is clean and the kitchen is large. The beds are comfortable and adequate heating. 3. The price is very good

The gentleman at the hotel's front desk left a lasting impression; he always served with a smile and had a great attitude. During my stay, if I had any issues, he was very enthusiastic in helping me resolve them. The location and environment are superb; I got to stroll along Lake Wakatipu every day, which was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. Also, a Chinese lady at the Queenstown site store helped me out when I couldn't find my booking because of a website error. She communicated with the other party to resend the order, which really put my mind at ease. Much appreciated!

the room was clean but quite cramped - lots of clutter in the kitchen and things were not labelled. perhaps if solo you could put up with it but with a small group it is not as tolerable.

While the room was on the smaller side, this was anticipated given that it doesn't offer a private bathroom. The listing indicated a 'separate toilet,' but in reality, it was just a washbasin within the room, and the toilet itself was shared. If privacy for facilities is important to you, I'd strongly advise against booking. Parking was also a significant challenge. The hotel lacks its own car park, requiring guests to find street parking. There are only two spots directly outside the hotel, which are rarely vacant and can be used by non-guests too. The whole street is usually packed with parked cars, making it extremely difficult to find a space. Opposite the hotel are private residences. We found the occupants to be quite rude; they aggressively told us not to park in any seemingly empty spots in front of their properties. This was the only instance of rudeness I encountered during my entire trip to New Zealand; every other local I met was incredibly friendly.

The house and facilities were ok but not the room. I was a solo traveler in a 6 bed room. The room smells a lot. It was complicated to get on the top bed. The baking sheet was really bad. But in a really nice place, just in the center. Very nice welcoming.

The location was very convenient and easy to get around. The view of the lake from the common area is absolutely stunning! Can park on the other side of the road for free which is quite easy.

Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient. There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great. The showers are on the first floor, unisex. The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge. The facilities are generally quite complete. By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo. New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own. You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor. The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it.

The location is really convenient, the staff is very friendly, and they can help you organize a map of free parking locations. Unfortunately, the kitchen is located in the basement, which is a bit inconvenient. Occasionally there are strange noises in the middle of the night, but you can't change rooms. 🥲🥲🥲

This hotel offers excellent service and boasts new facilities. The rooms are incredibly quiet, ensuring a very comfortable night's sleep. I highly recommend staying here when you visit New Zealand. The amenities are comprehensive, and the self-check-in and check-out process is very smart. It's definitely a top choice for accommodation during your travels.
