Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

Great location and service. Every bed has a curtain, a light and a shelf to put little things. Noisy at night when people step on the stairs and chat with each other really loudly even though you can see the signs ”10pm-7am quiet time” everywhere.

Stayed here for two days in a row. The location is very good. I chose it because the introduction said there is free parking. Currently, this youth hostel has 3-4 parking spaces in front of the door, first come first served. Otherwise, you need to go to Hamilton Road to find one (which is often full). You need to bring your own shower gel and shampoo, which is not very convenient. Other than that, I can give it a very high score. The youth hostel has cooperation discount codes with some attractions, you can ask the front desk to get them. If you are traveling alone, I still recommend them.

I stayed in room w 8 pods shared bathroom. The bathroom was in a mess during this stay with no shower gel in all cubicles for the male and toilet bowls were very stained as compared to my first stay. Very convenient location with staff manning round the clock which is a plus compared to other hostels n backpackers.

Great location and service. Every bed has a curtain, a light and a shelf to put little things. There was wind from nowhere blowing in the room and making it very cold to sleep even though the window was closed.

The location is very convenient, near the bus stop and very close to walking to the cable car or to the lake. The house is old, so you can hear the sound of walking and bathing, and the sound insulation effect is very poor, but the public space is generally clean, the room is small, and the suitcase is difficult to open properly.

Location was honestly excellent and unbeatable, it’s right next to a bus stop where coaches pick you up for the Milford sound day tour. It’s also a short walk to the steamer wharf area, ＜5 mins. The girls at the reception were friendly. We had no issues with only being able to access the room after 2pm. The room itself was cosy. This seems to be one of the only rooms with a king bed and private toilet - it’s called Lucy’s room. However, it was really dusty - see the dust we cleaned off the window ledge. I am allergic to dust, so I had to wipe it down myself.. There is a pub nearby so music can be heard all the way till 3/4am on Saturday night, so not recommended if you are a light sleeper. We had a quieter night on Sunday though! If I could do it again, I would have topped up the $50-$60 to book Crowne Plaza, which was also in an equally prime spot.

A great experience for a female solo traveler. I Pros I shared a female dorm with three other women and had a great time getting to know those coming in and out. The shared bathroom was always clean (cleaned every day). The communal kitchen is large and well-organised. You can make use of condiments that get left behind. As it was still cold, there are always fires burning both in reception and the common room. It makes the atmosphere very cosy. The best service I got was from their information desk, which is located in the reception area. As I didn't have a credit card and businesses like Snowbiz in town don't accept cash, I was able to pay for ski passes and rental by making a booking at the service desk (they have a card machine and also accept cash). Cons This side of the hostel where my room was located, just experiences a lot of noise, as there are bars down below, despite the sliding door being sound-proof. Not all the reading lamps for each bed work and also need to be fixed. The shower leaked a lot of water, as the glass door doesn't properly close. Overall though, a great stay and value for money. You do save on accommodation, as QT is an expensive town to visit.

The location is super convenient, it only takes less than ten minutes to go to a well-known burger restaurant or lakefront. Roommates are happy.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the central area of Queenstown. There is no early check-in and there is a charge for credit card. No parking inside the hotel, stop at the road, free of charge. This hotel has a lot of young people living, and some people will take the initiative to drink alcohol.

1. Location: Brownstone Street is a street that separates the residential area and commercial area of ​​Wanaka. Wanaka itself is not big, and it is not far from Wanaka Lake. The hotel is very close to New World, and it is not far from anywhere. 2. Facilities: This is a hostel, but the layout is not good. The kitchen is downstairs, and it is very inconvenient to climb up and down. There is only one hook in the shower room, and there is no place to put clothes. The bed is open, without any privacy, but it is ventilated, haha, suitable for acquaintances to live together. But many people who live in this kind of hostel live with strangers, which is a bit embarrassing. The curtains on the windows of the room do not block light, and I was woken up by the light early in the morning. This is very bad, not very attentive! The kitchen equipment is very simple, the kitchen stove needs a lighter to light, the layout design is too poor, the appearance is not good, it is not convenient to use, and things are scattered. 3. Hygiene: The kitchen hygiene needs to be complained, it is dirty and messy 4. Service: Full marks💯The front desk is very nice, can small talk, and the service experience is full marks! ! !
