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
Lovely hostel, ~10 min walk to the centre of the town and it’s a lot of fun because of the stunning view of the lake.
I stayed in a 2-bunk bed room for 4 nights with a man… As a girl, I didn’t feel comfortable at all. The guys were fine but I think the hostel should consider same gender policy for this kind of room.
Also found it very strange that staff doesn’t give towels when people check-in. They only give when you ask.
I went all the way to my room to realise the towel isn’t on my bed and another tenant didn’t even know they provided towels.
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.
The room's soundproofing wasn't great. However, the bedding was quite clean. The unit was split over two levels and had three or four bathrooms. One window offered a view of a nearby factory, but the main front-facing windows looked out onto Oamaru Bay. If you wake up early, you can catch the sunrise.
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.
This is my second stay here. Even though it's a hostel, it's very clean and quiet. Parking across the street is free, so you don't have to park inside the hotel. We booked a bunk bed for two, which was great value for money compared to a king room. Next time I visit New Zealand, I'll only play in Queenstown and Wanaka, and spend more days in Wanaka.
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.
Good room, love how there is the privacy in all of the beds with close curtain, love the closeliness and cozy of the guest lounge. Wish there is a charger place right inside the beds.
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 accommodation is in the middle of the city, close to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.
I loved the Wi-Fi, rooftop kitchen and hangout area.
Pod beds are generally comfortable and more spacious than I anticipated. Equipped with light, fan and power sources.
This place is a great option for budget travelers.
Very Good

KKhoThe place is spacious and the location is excellent. It is right next to the main road. After watching the little penguins, you can buy fast food nearby before returning to the hostel. The room is spacious and there are staff on duty at night. You can park at the door, which is very convenient
GGuest UserThe room is very comfortable, the facilities are complete, and the particularly good place is that there is a bathtub that can be SPA, which is so cool! The boss is from Beijing and very talkative. There is a supermarket and a variety of food nearby, which is very convenient.
SSaher Raeesthe 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.
GGuest UserVery happy with our Accomodation at Aria on Bank Dunedin. The self contained unit for a couple was modern, very clean, fresh & well presented. Free (No fee) use of laundry ( washing machine & dryer) for all tenants to use.
Our room was missing a frying pan which i needed to cook. I contacted the front desk, the gentleman receptionist immediately ran & I mean ran to our unit to confirm it was missing & sure enough none to be located. He left & returned a couple mins later with a replacement frying pan & utensil. Outstanding service.
AAA+++ RATING for service & excellence.
TTortelliniIt’s a huge hostel in the prime part of queenstown so it’s a mixed bag on who you’ll be sharing a room with. There isn’t really anywhere to put your things in the room and need your own lock for the small safety cabinets, and sharing 2-4 outlets with everyone in the room, but it’s clean and the bed is fine.

DDan WuangExcellent location and PIN code lock safety mechanism on major entries are helpful.
Right next to Intercity coach pickup station which I rely for the whole journey in NZ.
There are elevator thus no worry on carrying my heavy huge luggage and hand carried.
I stayed in 6 dormitories ensuite. Rooms are bigger and there are a huge storage for each resident. Extra lockers and storage can be found outside the bunk should you need more space.
Towel is provided as well.
Very quiet at night thus can sleep well.
Kitchen is huge and I still find space to put my groceries inside the fridge and cubicle outside.
Will be back to stay for a couple of nights when I am back to Queenstown.
KKirkbyCromwell is a beautiful place and this motel was perfect for our stay which included a trip to the Carrick Winery restaurant and a walk along the Cromwell to Clyde trail. The host gave us great tips on where to eat breakfast and overall was a super stay
