Excellent central location, basically the best situated place for people who likes to stay in the middle of everything. Very friendly and helpful staff, very clean and tidy. Both communal bathroom and kitchen was always clean and no bar odor anywhere in the vicinity. Guaranteed staying again and exploring other rooms next time.

quite good but too cramped
the location is really good and the view from the kitchen is amazing. it was clean enough overall. but toooooooo cramped. I stayed in a dormitory for 6 and ensuite. the bathroom was tooooooooo cramped as well. And there was a musty smell in the room as there was no ventilation.

Unbeatable location in the center of the center. Literally 10ft from the pier and the views we travelled for. Yes, it is listed as a hostel, but if you book the private room, it is the same as a hotel, but basic. We had the 4-bed room (traveling with two adult kids). I would absolutely return there.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Great location, very central. Allows free storage of luggage while you're away as long as you have a return stay. Clean beds. Awesome kitchen with opening windows. Free loan of towel. Elevator. Would definitely stay here again! One awkward design flaw with their bathroom sinks and little shelf just above the sink - they're both the same width making it awkward to wash your face and brush your teeth without making a mess.

Amazing find
What an amazing find. Not what I expected at all. So central to everything, perfect mattress and pillow, a/c was preset to an optimum temperature. Kitchen is clean and very functional with beautiful views. $40 from the airport with an uber or $60 with a large vehicle. Staying here again!

Great family stay
The location of the hostel was fabulous. Easy walking to everything we needed and free parking. Kitchen space was great and the lounge den was good with movies, PlayStation, Wii and book swap. Our family room was good, and had a view of the water. Our only issue was the laundry being closed each morning till 2pm as big numbers of check in coming.....frustrating.

This is usually a well-located hostel located in the heart of Queenstown. However, currently the entire area is under construction, which has removed all the parking options and replaced them with "loading zones." The only solution was to use the loading zones to unload your luggage and then park at least 15 mins walk away to return to the hostel on foot. That is, if there is parking. This being Queenstown, there frequently was no parking available especially during peak hours. I was not informed of this until a few days before our stay, and we have a large family with kids! Needless to say, this made the location a huge downside rather than bonus.
