Location is great, inexpensive and feeling international of its dense customers”
The price is very affordable for a private room in expensive city queenstown, location is perfect, you can find many budgeters coming from diverse countries. The kitchen contains too many people, the elevator stinks badly, but our private bathroom is perfectly large, and the room is not clean, the bed side has stain. If you love crowd and are on budget, this hotel is perfect.

Good for both short&long term”
I’v been living in the Base more than a month so far. Because I work for the gifts shop just across street, that’s super convenient for me and also good location for all the places you want to go with such a cheapest price in Queenstown! Free breakfast from 8-9am, and the kitchen will close for cleaning from 10pm that is the only things annoying but I can totally understand.

Hey Zidan, Thanks for taking the time to drop is a review! Really great to hear you're enjoying your time with us! Thanks Again! Base
Amazing staffs and ideal location”
Friendly staff, clean room, kitchen a bit messy sometimes but always got staff clean the kitchen every now and then. Wifi is slow during certain peak hours. Overall, Base Queenstown is better than Base Auckland, there is free breakfast, smaller kitchen but clean and tidy. Clean bed compare to Base Auckland too.

Great Location and super helpful staff”
The hostel is just at the center of Queenstown and very close to everything. Nice and comfy bed, but sometimes loud especially during the Winter Festival weekend. This is very good for young people who wants to party and who wants to meet other travelers. All the staff are approachable and very helpful. Gaston is be BEST!!! Overall, Highly recommended. Thank you Base i had a nice 9days stay. :)

Value for money”
It was definitely a value for money deal. We only needed to pay the standard room rate (which is usually has no ensuite bathroom) and we had an ensuite bathroom as well as breakfast (although quite minimal but it is a backpackers so that is to be expected). The only downside was that it was a windowless room. But that was mentioned when we booked the room so it was alright. Great location too, located right on the main street of Queenstown with easy access to most places. Facilities were also well equipped and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return again.

Great vibe and excellent location”
The staff can make you feel excited on why you are in Queenstown. The bed was good but there's not enough plugs in the room for charging our devices. But we still enjoyed our stay and had a great time here!

Backpacker staff rivals staff of any 5-Star hotel”
We had a great time, and will come back. The nightlife of Queenstown, and especially of this hotel, would have me request a room back off the street. The staff is second to none.

superb location in Queenstown ”
the location of this place is perfect! they have 24/7 reception and a big kitchen for backpackers to do cooking. the room that I stayed in has an en suite toilet, it was clean and there are hot showers. there are many eateries nearby and opposite Base there is a 24/7 convenience store. The place might be noisy during weekends as the bar is just downstairs.

Right at the city center, you don’t need to drive, just walk to where you want to be.”
This property is right at the center of Queenstown. You get access to many interesting locations within a short walking distance. However, if you prefer a quiet room, this is not for you. The breakfast is served between 8-9am, you better be early to get your share.

centrally located and all-inclusive backpacker's”
Night life of Queenstown is rather happening, so it can be bit noisy for those who sleep early. I have made some changes on my room booking but surprisingly I can't deal with them directly on the refund and that I was told they can't assist me to contact agoda. Not having any nz mobile so I try wrote at agoda's FAQs 'cause no email is available, yet no reply until the day I left.

Fantastic location”
Fantastic location as the Base Queenstown is located on Shotover St, the main street in Queenstown and is close to almost everything (Ferg burger is right across the street!). Rooms are cheap and cleanliness is satisfactory (although the carpets do look like they could use a wash!) Downside is that the Base does not have parking if you're driving a car. Staff at the counter are friendly and efficient - good place to stay if you just need a bed for the night.

Fine place to stay. ”
My stay was fine at Base Queenstown. Personally, it's not my style. It has a very party vibe, with a bar attached. If You're into that thing, definitely check it out! It gets pretty loud outside at night, and that's a con. The main lounge was comfy, and for $4 a day you can get a wifi pass. I think it's $12 for a week. Definitely don't get the breakfast option. It is only bread, jam, wheetbix, milk, and tea/instant coffee. Not worth it at all! Also, definitely book Agoda because my agoda price was $10 lower than their listed price and included the bad breakfast. Overall, a decent place to stay, Especially if you're party inclined.

near lake and facing snow mountain”
Base Queenstown Backpackers locates in the centre of the town. The lake is just a few minutes walk from the hotel. The kitchen is clean and we can have our dinner inside the hotel.

Pleasant stay”
Great location in the heart of Queenstown just minutes away from the Mall and the lake. The infamous Fergburger is just down the road on the street across. Place was very lively, and the private room I occupied was very spacious. Didn't have an AC though but a small fan was provided.

great location in a very small city center”
Pros: great location. big kitchen. Diff areas to relax. mostly cost-orientated staffs. balcony in room!(great for smokers) Cons: inconsistent warm water flow (sometimes water will turn cold in the middle of a shower during winter) Rude reception staff with weird accent that be allocated to kitchen duties instead (She was the short and plump female who seem extremely unhelpful with simple enquires.) room is too small and overcrowded compared to other hostels in queenstown.

Alright place to stay, but not the greatest”
First night was great but was booked through Stray bus lines. The next 5 mights booked through agoda I was moved to a much dingier room. The bed frames were all bent, and mattresses had seen better days. The room was kept clean, and staff was great to interact with. I don't expect much from a backpacker hostel. Xbase was alright place to stay, but not as nice as the one in Wanaka.

Location is location”
Very pleased staying at this hostel.The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and we didn't spent a lot of money. Great place for young backpackers. The only thing: the double room I booked didn't have a private bathroom even though on the picture on Agoda showed one.
