Staff is very nice. The place is old but we feel at home. Needs upgrading though at least with the bed sheets to make rooms cleaner and new. Its good price for a short vacation.

It was ok!”
It’s an old scary looking 3 story stairs, we were given one of the top rooms with 3 single beds inside for 3 nights with hubby and 70 years old mama. It’s an okay place for young people just for a few nights but is not appropriate for older people as they have to climb the stairs. The bottom levels only has single rooms and double bunked beds so mama cannot stay in those rooms and had to walk the stairs. Beds are comfy, top floors make squeaky noises when people walk around, shared toilets and kitchen, we brought our own towels and toilet rolls. The boss lady was nice, she made sure the toilets and the rubbish was emptied, n looked after.

over priced ”
what you get for your money it's not worth.. kitchen half the elements are broken light dont work it's cold as hell and the heating is by the hr you have to restart the bloody thing every hr one fridge for the whole place man I could go on for days lol... but the hot water in the shower is really good when it's on lol so what I saying is if you come here dont expect much. oh and they charge you 50 bucks bond for your room key which is not mentioned on there web site

Not to bad”
Looks nothing like the photo that needs to be updated looks like a shit hole. Beds comfortable showers hot. The owners could make many improvements. Would stay there again. Just remember it's a hostel not a hotel.

Do not stay here, the cheap price not worth it. Worst hostel I've ever stayed in.”
Filthy, cold, no security. The hostel is being run as cheaply as possible by complete misers for whom you staying there is an imposition even though you are paying. Lots of kiwis down on their luck staying there (were all nice in my experience) but presumably WINZ was giving the owners money for emergency housing even though it wasn't fit to live in. Zero security on the building, front door always wide open and no keys for rooms (my room was permanently open by having a piece of clothing in the doorway and although a it was a very cold building there was an adapter with chinese writing on it which allowed the plug in heater to only be turned on for 30 min at time.

Too dirty and cloudy”
I can't imagine that they wash the linen and I can't use hot water in shower... anyway.. I don't want to spend this time to remain review.. because it is also waste of time.. but I don't want other experience same as me.. it was worst experience, I can say definitely... don't stay here

Fantastic place to stay !! ”
Great stay in nice warm comfortable bed.Had a good sleep in a quiet charming place.Enjoy the great view at the roof terrace garden. Good value for money as it has all for any traveller. Big nice kitchen and plenty of space for privacy.Good free WIfi network. Place is just minutes to city center and all the great cafes and shops especially to Pak n Sav and take-aways. Will definitely come back to stay for few more days and would highly recommended to anyone looking for place to stay in Dunedin. Kudos to the new management for taking great care of the place and making all guest feel at home.

Loved my stay here!”
I really liked this hostel! It's an older hostel, looks almost like a fort on the outside. There are many rooms inside for you to hang out in, including a TV room, two dining rooms, and a huge kitchen that is ACTUALLY clean. The room I was in (6 person dorm) had a massive balcony that connected with another room. The bed itself was comfortable, the room large, and everything was quiet at night which I really appreciate. Staff were nice, not overly so, but check in and out were extremely quick and easy. I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it for anyone! An easy walk into the city too, like 5 minute walk to the city centre!

Nice house”
This is a good hostel in a very nice old house in a quiet area. Large kitchen. A good option in Dunedin.

If you want to see what's the worst hostel, Stafford Gables is the best choice for you. The hostel is very cold and not clean. The host provides a heater, but the heater switch off every hour until next time you press the button. There is no hot water for shower between 10:00pm to 8:30am in the morning. The kitchen is as horrible as the staff. In one word, I would stay in McDonald's 24 hour restaurant instead of living in this hosts again.
