Prime location but unhygienic”
I have always been a regular occupant at YHA around NZ because they really offer value for money. In addition, YHA hostels have always been clean. Unfortunately, this is the first hostel which was appalling because the dormitory I stayed in was dirty and dark!! Lucky I only stayed for 1 night because I woke up with bed bug bites all over the right side of my body the next morning!! Moreover, the staffs are not that friendly, they are only friendly if you enquire one or two questions, anything more they don't really bother to deal with you.

Nice place to stay”
Reception was very helpful and friendly. They let us store our bags for the night before we checked in because we went on The Rock Cruise. Our room was very nice with en-suite. Good clean facilities with nice kitchen and lounge. The wifi was spotty and it costs 5 NZD.

Super friendly, clean, recommend!”
I really recommend staying here - the staff are great, it's super clean, up in the hills with beautiful views (a bit of a walk from where the bus drops you - but worth it). Stay here!
