Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

Very clean and warm. It is a bit tired to climb up the slope at the door. The location is very good, just in the city center, a little down is the Octagon Square in the city center. Parking on the side of the road is better than the hotel entrance, the slope is too steep

Unlike Haka House in Queenstown which has free coffee and tea, this hostel doesn’t have any. It is only $3 though. But the space in the rooms were bigger than then one in the city center. Big kitchen area, and bigger lounge.  You can borrow a cord for your charger. Negative feedback: this is infront of the lake and my room was facing the lake  and so i can hear  the sound of the cars passing by, the noise from the people walking in the road if they were too loud. It’s not something very distracting.  Second one: the “clean towels” use to dry the utensils are looking dirty even if they were freshly washed because of the stains and probably because it’s old and has been used a lot. Also, they don’t put unlimited supplies of the towels to dry, I saw the lady putting only 3 towels unlike in Haka house queenstown and the haka house in mt cook where they put unlimited supplies of clean towels and they look clean and presentable. I didn’t even use those towels to dry the utensils/cutleries I just air dry them to the side. The sponge also looks old and worn out..it would be nice if they are replaced at least every 10-15 days.

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！

the room was clean but quite cramped - lots of clutter in the kitchen and things were not labelled. perhaps if solo you could put up with it but with a small group it is not as tolerable.

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. 🥰

The wooden house has creaky floors, so you need to walk lightly. There's no private bathroom; about two to three rooms share one shared bathroom (toilet and shower). The interior decor is charming and unique, clearly a lot of thought went into it. Check-in is via a code, which can be a hassle if you miss the email – I personally spent a long time trying to find it. The single bed is quite narrow, but that seems to be a common standard abroad.

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.

This hotel in Wanaka is really great. We're a family of three and booked a quad room with bunk beds. We were mainly there to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so the accommodation was secondary. This hostel is very clean, almost like a hotel, just with bunk beds. My parents are quite agile, so sleeping on the lower bunk was more convenient for them. Plus, the communal kitchen is excellent and you can even cook there. If you have more money, you could book one of the detached private rentals next door. We went in January, which is peak season; February might be even more expensive. The private rentals were five times the price of this place. I think this hostel is a much better value, and it's in a prime location. It's also super convenient if you're taking InterCity as it drops you right at the hotel entrance.
