2-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

The location is great, just a ten-minute walk from Queenstown city center, and there's also a bus stop nearby. Lake Wakatipu is right outside, offering beautiful scenery that's perfect for a stroll day or night. The six-person room was relatively clean and serviced daily, but it was quite small, making the stay feel a bit cramped. The kitchen was very functional.

Great value for money, though the facilities are a bit old.

Very impressive and clean facilities. Didn't feel like a hostel. The huge kitchen was very well equipped with many microwaves, stove, etc. Even air-fryer ! Cutlery and cookware are top-notch and well-organized. The fridge has clear instructions. Free food from past guests were organized accordingly. Dining area and lounge area are like cafe setting ! The washing machine and drying machine are easy to use. Staff was very kind to assist as I inserted wrong coin into the wrong slot and was refunded the money. Highly recommended !!! New World supermarket is so conveniently next door. There's an open car park next to the park behind the hostel. Can park for free !

Being in the city center, it's very convenient to get around, and close to the InterCity bus and airport shuttle stops. It's also about a 10-minute walk to places for tours like Milford Sound. I'd say the location is excellent! The room itself was very clean, and even though all the beds were occupied, the other guests in the room were quiet, which made it easy to sleep. The building itself also looked very clean from the outside. However, it was a shame that there were no power outlets near the beds, no hairdryer in the bathroom, and the common areas were incredibly dirty – though that might have just been bad luck with the other guests staying at the time. Considering the price, if you can overlook these issues, it's probably worth staying. I'd consider staying here again.

Leviathan Hotel is a classic hotel with a nice interior of the common areas (wooden stairs, old fashioned furniture etc.) and an old style elevator and keys for the doors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My rooms is in the small side and if your want a super new and spotless hotel this one is a little bit old and worn which is part of its charm.

First off, the location is amazing! The beds are also fixed, so no creaking noises, which was great. I was a bit worried since it was a mixed dorm only, but it turned out better than I expected. Great location, great beds, great restaurant view. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit. The only thing is, because it's in the city center, it can be a bit noisy at night, but since it's New Zealand, it usually quietens down by around midnight, lol.

Our experience at this accom was excellent from arrival to departure. The check-in process was quick and straightforward, and the staff explained everything clearly. Throughout our stay, the team remained professional and helpful. Check-out was equally smooth, which was especially appreciated as we had a travel schedule to follow. The room was comfortable, and the overall service was reliable.

We enjoyed our stay for one night. They have enough kitchen equipment to stay for a week. Everything is super clean. We liked home baked afternoon tea which makes warm welcome. We wish we could stay longer.

Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again. One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room.

This hotel is really amazing. The golf driving range is behind. Although it is very partial, it retains the tradition. You don't have to worry about it in the hotel. The waiter is very friendly.
