I love that there are sloped ramps instead of stairs up. There were 3 bunks in my room and 2 single twin beds! I enjoyed a night of not having anyone above or close to me! Staff was super friendly. Lots of supplies in the kitchen for cooking. Walking distance to the Polynesian Spa. Overall loved my stay here!! ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities So much fun to have the climbing gym right there!

The hostel was great, the beds were comfy, it is centrally located and the staff were super helpful. The bathrooms could be in better condition (they were clean), and the showers really need a place to hold towels/ clothes. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IEUFAKA 18 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This establishment attracts a wide range of guests which makes for a very pleasant experience.
