Great value for money”
We stayed in a twin room with a bathroom. Basic but if you just want somewhere to sleep it was perfect. It was very clean, warm and close to lots of restaurant's and shops. I would definitely stay again. The staff were very friendly and helpful 5⭐ for them.

Kia ora Tulani, Thank you for your kind review. We are so glad you liked our epic staff and our wonderful accommodation. We hope to host you again soon! Kind regards, On Top Backpackers
Very good place to stay”
Free pool and 1 dollar off drinks at bar on ground floor is neat. Check in at bar. Good security, key card to unlock second floor. Clean, spacious room. Plenty of bathrooms and toilets. Nice steady hot water with good pressure. Simple breakfast cereal and toast provided.

Exceptional”
Nice option and very near to everything. Staff are very helpful in directing you to free parking. The included breakfast is a nice touch, just enough to start the morning. The toilets and showers have a bit of an odd layout as there's only one set of showers for the whole place but "night toilets" in each corridor to save you stumbling in the dark I guess? Would return.

Great quiet hostel”
I was really impressed with On Top. They were nice, clean, and quiet. It wasn’t a super social hostel but that could have just been my stay.

I came here because that was the only backpacker hostel available. Try find other hostel unless you have no choice.

Facilities”
Great facilities with affordable accommodation options and a good location in the middle of town. Sadly, young children are not allowed to stay onsite. Will definitely return

Good location, that's all.”
The kitchen is quite small, the bed is also not good, it will shake when anyone in the bed moving (even a slight move) witch is really annoying.

Average backpacker stay”
The room is relatively small and a bit noisy as people dragging their luggage in front of your door all the times. The kitchen facilities is below average standard. The fridge is always full and unclean. Although they do provide free breakfast (sandwiches, jam, cereal)

Not recommed this single room”
I booked a single room so that I could sleep well as I had an exam the next day. I'm not sure about others, but mine is facing a shower and toilet room, i can hear everyone come and goes all night! I paid more than a dorm room, but i think it was the other way around. So please think about it before you book it if you are a light sleeper like me.

The owners are thieves.”
The manager/owner will ask you to pay for next day and keep your deposit if you checkout even half an hour later than 10 am. Be aware. I won't go there again.

Smelly bathroom ”
We stayed for a night in double room en-suite. The room was very basic with a single bed and a double bed. The bathroom was smelly and we even found a spider on the ceiling.

Acceptable”
Window did not close in our room and the heater is on a timer so it was very cold. We asked staff about it and he said that the window won't close anymore and did not offer another solution (it was snowing when we were there). Bathrooms and kitchen only accessible by going outside

NO WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM”
I tried to communicate with them before my arrival many times, by their website, by facebook and also calling never getting any response and for that reason, I ended up not even staying at the hostel, so disappointed with not even being able to stay and enjoy a nice experience. Not recommended.
