Value for Mo ney”
We enjoyed stay the YHA Queenstown lakefront, nice view in front of Hostel. We have free breakfast with pancake for us to cook ourselves. I like everything in this hostel include the shared clean bathroom, big kitchen, surrounding environment. Shuttle bus to airport in front of hostel. Very convenient to travel around. Good walk along the lake to town and enjoyed the nice scenery, will definitely back this hostel again for next visit.

Great value with beautiful views”
I've stayed at YHA Queenstown Lakefront many times and every time, the staff have been very helpful with booking shuttles and giving advice about activities in Queenstown. As I was only staying 3 nights this trip and eating out most of the time, we didn't bring any tea or coffee so it's great to be able t buy single tea bags when you just want to have a cup of tea. Some areas for improvement could be ventilation in some of the rooms as our skylight twin share was rather stuffy. Staff told us there were improving these rooms with renovation so that's good to know. I'll be back, I'm sure. Also, lovely view of the lake and mountains.

Great location!”
YHA Queenstown lakefront is located about 10 mins walk away from the heart of the action in town. However, I love the proximity of the hostel from the lakefront and the view is amazing! The rooms are a tad small but everything is clean and tidy there. It will be a great location for one to just laze around the lakefront or walk around since the view is astounding.

Great value and good location”
being the yha "outside" of the centre (means 10 min. walking...) this is one of the best hostels in queenstown. you easily avoid the noisy party area "downtown" and get a spacious and clean place. staff is super friendly and helpful and the value for money is much better than in yha central or in the infamous nomads. definitively recommended!

Clean, well-equipped, and convenient ”
The staff here welcomed me pleasantly and got me off to my first-ever hostel experience on the right foot. It was a crowded week in Queenstown, so my room was full, but the showers, laundry, and other facilities were certainly large enough to accommodate everyone. The location is great, especially for the value of the room. I would definitely recommend this to someone looking for a hostel experience.

Beautiful hostel with amazing views ”

Excellent”
Nice lakefront view from outside the hostel. Friendly staff that helped us alot in giving suggestions on activities. Bathroom was satisfactory, the dry bath mats were always run out, making the bathrooms frequently wet. Location is abit far off from the town centre and although it's not a long walk, on a cold day and after a day of tiring activities, the walk can seem a lot longer and more tiresome. Good kitchen and other facilities

Great service all around”
This place has what you need for an unplanned trip to Queenstown. The staff are great and very good at giving recommendations and facilitating your bookings. Awesome facilities and tidy rooms for economy traveling. This place is a little out of town, which makes for a brisk walk in but it can be nice to be a bit further out. The view of the Remarks is awesome.

Beautiful walk there”
Had a good few nights stay here. We were lucky to be on the top floor which seemed quieter than the other floors. I would presume most partygoers stay more centrally which was our main reason for picking this yha. It is a beautiful walk along the river to get there. Was cleaned daily to a good standard but we noticed some people didn't bother cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen!! Very friendly and helpful staff which was nice.

Nice location, clean with good facilites”
Nice location with lovely views over the lake. Not to far to the centre of town (10-15 min walk). Good cooking facilities, though they might get a bit crowded when the hostel is full. Good value for Queenstown. Friendly, helpful staff. Would be nice to have free wifi.

Accommodation at YHA Central”
YHA Lakefront was under renovation, thus, we are arranged to stay at YHA Central. It was very convenient to everything.

Helpful staff and good facilities”
I love the big kitchen with all the utensils available to use. Too bad I wasn't a YHA member.. If not I could have enjoyed more discounts from the activity bookings with them. However there is a 15 minute walk to the most happening street - Shotover Street.

Wish I could stay longer”
The YHA staffs did a great job! Every single one of them I met was very friendly and kind. The hostel is bright and clean, I really saw them cleaning the kitchen 4am in the morning! It's a pleasant stay and I wish I could stay longer :)

Hey Yuan, what a fantastic review, thank you so much! I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the rest of the team :) Safe travels - Sue Fairclough, Operations Manager, YHA Queenstown Lakefront
Good location with small rooms.”
My second time staying here and i suggest taking up twin private and not the one with skylight. The skylight only offers a small glazed window at the ceiling to allow sunlight to enter, no view at all. This time round is much better as the room offers a view of the lake or the town. Staff is generally friendly and security is good as main doors will be locked at around 10 or 11pm. A great location if you just want to relax and if you need some action in town, is only a 10 min walk away and you will be accompanied by great views of the lakefront throughout the walk.

Good experience overall. Clean, quiet, well equipped, friendly staff, great location with views on the lake if you don't mind being out of the city center (10 min walk by the lake)

Excellent”
The place is clean and well-maintained, with a huge kitchen with all the pots and pans and other utensils provided. The location is a little far away from the city centre, (approx 15 mins walk) but it is a good and scenic walk from the accomodation to the city centre as it is linked via a park. Also, do note that the ventilation of the sleeping area is not that great - it was really warm and humid during summer.
