I got sick of walking up and down the stairs. The kitchen needs renovating. Maybe some pot plants and some new flooring would make this area more inviting and less tired and dirty looking. The room was clean and had a good ensuite and a TV. This was good. But with the window open, the room door rattled all night. It is right in the middle of the town and above a bar. So there is quite a bit of traffic and bar noise ##### MJ Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The hostel is avove the street with all the pubs and bars so there was music pumping and people shouting outside the room untill 3.30am. And it was loud!! If you're planning on going to bed before that then it's not ideal but if you're planning on going out it's a great location. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Galina 3 Jan 2020 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Taupo lake experience It was too nosy because of music from nearby restaurants Plato loud till midnight. We stayed on a 3rd level without lift, so it was not comfortable. Another unexpected thing was a bunk bed in a tiny room. However we loved this small city with great Lakeside ##### Galina Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Smooth check in Eventhough I arrived late, check in was so easy. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Selina, AUCKLAND 26 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities John was working & he was welcoming, friendly, helpful & informative making check in quick & easy.

The bed was held up by three blocks of wood. My wife was asleep on the bed when I hopped off it, shifting the dodgy wooden block construction under the bed. My wife dropped in a sag in the middle where the dodgy wooden blocks were. The shower leaked requiring me to collect 3 new towels to block the water flowing from it. The rooms are situated above a nightclub and the walls are paper thin, this will keep you up till 0300\. The staff were vapid. Rubbish from previous occupants was still under the bed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Great location for accessing everything you need in Taupo, really friendly staff however, the bar below was very noisy on a Saturday night ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort 飲み屋の生演奏が夜遅くまでうるさい ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Ninna Vejlebo 25 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fint hostel men desværre meget larm. Vi boede på et privat værelse med dobbeltseng og eget badeværelse. Rigtig fint værelse, dog meget begrænset plads på værelset. Venligt personale og dejligt centralt. Grundet den centrale placering var der dog desværre både en bar på gaden overfor og i samme bygning. Så der var desværre rigtig meget larm om natten. Alt i alt en rigtig fin oplevelse. ##### Ninna Vejlebo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jess 17 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice stay Staff were friendly and nice and en suit in a hostel was a nice touch ##### Jess Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia 11 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Decent, cheap place to stay Great value. Close to the i-site and buses. Relatively clean and has a large, clean kitchen. Also a nice outdoor seating area with a nice view. A bit noisy because of the bar/club downstairs/next door, but they give you free earplugs if you ask! ##### Cynthia Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### cutters, Auckland 14 Oct 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice clean hotel. nice staff.

Falavam muito alto e gritavam no corredor. Como não há ninguém na recepção após às 21:00 h, foi preciso situá-los. Fora isso não houve mais problemas. ##### Ana Cecilia Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 6 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean and tidy backpackers, in Taupo CBD Next door to a pub, discounts for guests at pub.

Beds were great, would be one of the best comfort wise I’ve slept in at a motel/hotel. I have a bad back so bed comfort is really important to me. Staff were really friendly and helpful. No lift to 3rd floor which 3 weeks after knee surgery wasn’t ideal, but I survived. Room was noisy due to location, centre of town/night life and a noisy air conditioning unit outside our window. Only parking was street parking available in the town. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again, however I would recommend for travellers/backpackers/party people who want to be in town enjoying the night life and if I was 20 years younger I would definitely stay again. ##### kim Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Heartland Ambassador Hotel Hamilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Heartland-Ambassador-Hotel-Hamilton.h519212.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels.d2205.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near IFEMA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/IFEMA-Hotels.0-l6208786-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lightwater Valley Theme Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lightwater-Valley-Theme-Park-Hotels.0-l553248621532494186-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Basingstoke Canal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Basingstoke-Canal-Hotels.0-l553248621561940838-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Barlaston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barlaston-Hotels.d3000412189.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Honolulu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Honolulu-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d1488-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [nhow Rotterdam Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotterdam-Hotels-Nhow-Rotterdam-Hotel.h6490419.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Bhimashankar Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bhimashankar-Temple-Hotels.0-l553248621532739060-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Resorts Romania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Romania-Hotel-Resorts.d151-aaHotelResorts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Die Geheime Welt von Turisede](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Neisseaue-Hotels-Die-Geheime-Welt-Von-Turisede.h29109702.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Douglas Promenade](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Douglas-Promenade-Hotels.d6341663.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Mahabalipuram](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mahabalipuram-Hotels.d6047600.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Palayana Hua Hin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hua-Hin-Hotels-The-Palayana-Hua-Hin.h16729789.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Montevideo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montevideo-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d2461-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Wifi in Lisbon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lisbon-Hotels-Hotels-With-WiFi.0-0-d2080-tHotelswithWiFi.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vladivostok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vladivostok-Hotels.d3748.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Tajiri (KIX) to Manchester (MAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kix/man/osaka-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Merignac (BOD)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/bod/leeds-to-bordeaux) > > [Flights from Southend-on-Sea (SEN) to Tramore (WAT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sen/wat/london-to-waterford) > > [Flights from Tuban (DPS) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dps/lhr/denpasar-to-london) ### Cars > [luxury Car Hire in Pakistan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxury-Car-Rentals-In-Pakistan.d140-tLuxury.Car-Rental-Destination-Class) ### Packages > [Bora Bora Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bora-Bora.d602861.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [New Hey Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Hey.d3000714327.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Abaco Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abaco-Islands.dx11773) ---
