The hotel is very conveniently located, within walking distance to the lake and close to NEW WORLD. It is very convenient to shop at the convenience store and have breakfast. The kitchen area is also very convenient.

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! ! !

There is always no one at the front desk, and the lounge on the second floor has a smell. I asked the waiter for a quiet room, but the room 201 I got was at the entrance, with customers coming in and out. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was said to shut off automatically, but it was still running for 12 hours, making it impossible to sleep. The hostel is in a good location, within walking distance of the lake, restaurants and supermarkets.

The room is too small, and the toilet is even smaller, with a palm-sized basin and a shower room where you can barely stand. The room is close to the road, and the cars passing by at night are fast and noisy, affecting your rest.

Facilities: quite complete, a large shared kitchen and rest area downstairs, and a small balcony upstairs where you can enjoy the view of the lake and the Iron Mountain. However, the kitchenware is not managed, and the cleanliness is worrying Sanitation: The public area is worrying, but fortunately I booked a room with a bathroom Environment: Excellent location, New World is downstairs. A little further ahead is the lake. The town is that big anyway Service: OK, no need for any service
