Best hostel in town”
The room is so clean and comfy, large and quiet. The staff was very nice and helpful. They give free rice and pasta for guests. I really like the living room area that people stay to eat dinner and watch movies. This is the first hostel that make me feel like home. The location is great, close to Rotorua Information Tourism Center that easy to walk to catch the Interciy bus back to Auckland. Highly recommended. I would rate at 10.

Enjoyed my stay”
Well-stocked kitchen. Free rice and free pasta daily, just ask from the staff. No elevator in the accommodation but staff was super helpful and aided us in carrying up my 1 large luggage. Shared toilet is kept clean. A convenient location close to multiple restaurants and walking distance to the Polynesian spa. Parking is free at night but there is free all day parking at the government garden and arts village.

We had a great and a value for money stay in the center of Rotorua. The room was nice, clean, and laundry was available on site for a small fee. The only downside was the small kitchen and the fact that the toilets do not have separate lights in them, making a bit hard to see, especially at night. Thank you.

The hostel is 50m from the intercity bus. Other hostels in Rotorua have outside area ( funky green...) for almost the same price so I prefered staying in those ones, I had to stay in different hostels because one nigth was fully booked in funky green. It is clean, and they give you free pasta and rice if you ask reception. There is no lockers.

Not my favorite ”
This hostel was okay, but definitely not the best I’ve ever stayed in. It was a bit run down. The bathrooms constantly had water flooding the floor from both the toilets and the showers. The beds were okay but it would be nice if the outlets around the room were accessible (I could see one behind the bed but couldn’t get to to). Okay for a day maybe, but not much more.

Great hostel, centre of town close to shops, restaurants etc. Well equipped kitchen and friendly staff. The Thursday night market on the street behind is great - loads of delicious food options! Only down side I stayed during a heat wave and the tempeature in the room was unbearable - there was a fan but it didnt do much to help!
