Hostels in Canterbury, New Zealand

The environment is good, everyone is quiet. One night, there was a little brother outside the sister, very exaggerated No for one night.

great location, in front of new region street, close to city center. facilities are good, there are several bathrooms and toilets, never waited for one. kitchen is big, didn't use them but I think it's enough for backpacker to cook and storage their foods in fridge. I living in room for single, got a locker wardrobe and a window inside. I think there should be a table inside but there isn't, not big deal. the window was tricky, I don't.know how.to open or close it, it's like a trapdoor, maybe during winter it would be cold.

Pros: The location is superb; it's probably the closest accommodation to Lake Tekapo, right in the heart of the tourist area. It's an easy walk to all the restaurants and the Church of the Good Shepherd. The hygiene is good, the room is very clean, and although the facilities are basic, they meet essential needs. There's a shared kitchen and a common lounge area with beautiful lake views. It's very popular, and both check-in and check-out are convenient. The bathroom is quite spacious. You can park your car in the free public parking lot in the scenic area. Cons: The room space is very cramped, and the windows in the lake-view rooms are small. The facilities are relatively simple. Compared to its price, the value for money is low.

The location is quite good, right across from a tourist attraction. Check-in was easy, and the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, perfect for cooking. It's open 24 hours, so you can even whip up a late-night snack.

This is a hotel that was converted from a historic prison. The staff are very nice and the guests are very friendly. It feels like a big family living together. It is not too far to walk to the city, so everything is very convenient.

The owner is lovely and welcoming. Thank you for a great stay.

Gute Ausstattung, es ist halt ein Hostel. Leider auch etwas laut und die Hochbetten sind wackelig, sodass man merkt, wenn sich der andere unten bzw oben umdreht.

Hostel vibe that has everything you need. The location was great as it was very easy to walk the seal colony and whale watching tour.  We did our laundry their too which was easy to use and the host was very helpful with that as well as when we had issue with checking in.  A few hobs didn’t work in the kitchen which make it a bit challenging to cook if there were other people.

Location is great, just a few minutes from famous spots in the CBD. Easy check-in and staff are friendly. The unit could use an upgrade, the furniture and fixtures have wear and tear that comes with age. The unit is also cold, not enough heating.
