Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

I highly recommend this cozy and comfortable hostel! It seems like there were small activities every night, and I was lucky enough to participate and hang out with people from other branches. The overall experience was great, and I made friends from all over the world in just two nights. Not only were the staff friendly and welcoming, but the location was also very convenient, and the price was even better. This small hostel is also perfect for shy and introverted people.

This youth hostel is also listed as a model of the best youth hostel by me as the Haka House Youth Hostel in Oklaki Cook Hill. Although there is no service staff on the spot, the small hotel has everything it should have, the environment is clean and comfortable.

It's a 10-minute walk from town along the lake, very new and clean with good service and a friendly attitude. Check-in is after 2 PM. The kitchen is huge, and the common areas are fantastic. The only thing I think would make it perfect is if the toilet and shower were separate. Because if one person goes in to shower, the entire bathroom door is closed, and anyone who needs to use the toilet can't. Similarly, if someone is using the toilet, others can't shower.

本当に素晴らしいバックパッカーホステルでした！口コミがとても良いことにも納得ができます。 まず、清潔感がとてもあります。共有スペースも綺麗ですし、宿泊者も皆綺麗に使用しています。各部屋も綺麗で、下の段のベットにカーテンがついていて閉められるようになっていることも素晴らしいです。 また、ホットチョコレートや紅茶が飲めるように準備してあります。ニュージーランドは秋で寒かったので、ホステルに戻ると温かい飲み物が飲めるということがとても嬉しかったです。 遅いチェックインで朝早くのチェックアウトでしたが、事前から連絡をくれて、丁寧に対応してくださりました。 また、泊まりたいと思う素敵なホテルでした！

Clean and comfy bed, but expensive stay for what was effectively a shed… it often felt that there were not enough toilets, with long queues for the bathrooms on all floors in the morning and at night.

Polite staff and central location in Queenstown ( 5 minutes walk to city center). Amenities include free WiFi, laundry, a garden, hot tub, and bike access. Rooms were cozy but basic. The communal kitchen space was organized and easy to use. The sauna is the reason I will book again when in Queenstown. 🥰

While the room was on the smaller side, this was anticipated given that it doesn't offer a private bathroom. The listing indicated a 'separate toilet,' but in reality, it was just a washbasin within the room, and the toilet itself was shared. If privacy for facilities is important to you, I'd strongly advise against booking. Parking was also a significant challenge. The hotel lacks its own car park, requiring guests to find street parking. There are only two spots directly outside the hotel, which are rarely vacant and can be used by non-guests too. The whole street is usually packed with parked cars, making it extremely difficult to find a space. Opposite the hotel are private residences. We found the occupants to be quite rude; they aggressively told us not to park in any seemingly empty spots in front of their properties. This was the only instance of rudeness I encountered during my entire trip to New Zealand; every other local I met was incredibly friendly.

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and overall it was pretty good. You can turn on a fan inside the bed, so it doesn't feel stuffy. I was super lucky that day because even though it was a 4-person dorm, only two of us actually checked in, so it felt like a private two-person room. This LyLo in Queenstown is super close, right on the corner, and has a big penguin out front. Self-check-in was very easy; they send you an email well in advance, so the check-in process is a breeze. Check-out was even simpler – just click on the 'check-out' link in the email. Everyone in the room gets a locker, and it's quite spacious, so my suitcase fit in perfectly. The front desk service was also great. I accidentally locked my locker before setting a password, but I went down to the front desk, and they helped me resolve it quickly. They were very polite throughout. However, there was one minor issue with the facilities: there were a lot of people in the bathroom. Although the shower area was quite spacious, there was only one sink, so everyone had to take turns brushing their teeth and washing up.

The bed was quite comfortable and clean. Breakfast has bread milk cereal jam. There is also 24-hour luggage storage.

The road repair factory intersection, had to drive down from the other end, the car parked on the ramp, can not drive out, the big box is not very good to transport up. Very clean, kitchen table with kitchen buckets, and glazed sticks. The first floor is a multi-person bed, the second floor is a single room, all single rooms have no separate toilets, there are 2 shared toilets on the first floor, and there is 1 next to Room 5 on the second floor. 3 showers, shared by men and women. When you leave, you can remove the pillowcases and sheets and put them in the basket under the stairs.
