We stayed in a private double room with views out over the lake. It was clean and comfortable and perfectly located to walk to most places we wanted to visit. For a Backpackers it was in great condition and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Very laid back and easy to approach staff. Reasonable price for rooms ##### Sacha Stayed 5 nights in May 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff made this place a delight to visit. All are immensely helpful, also informative and responsive to any needs. Our private double room with ensuite bath was basic (as expected at a "backpacker") but spotlessly clean, and someone had installed an outlet strip to accommodate for the shortage of electrical outlets. Nice to have on-site laundry, 3 each for both washer and dryer. The common areas were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. It would be great if all the youth could figure out how to remove food from the sinks when they're done washing dishes, and maybe that's too much to expect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The double ensuite room was good had everything we needed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gwenwyfahr, Napier 3 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The double room with en suite that we booked had no external windows and no air conditioning so it was 35-40C which is ridiculous in New Zealand. There was a fan but we were told that we could not run it on high because the vibrations were too loud in the next room. There was hair in the bedding, and no parking available because the spaces were full of people sleeping in their cars so we had to park in a shopping carpark across the street. The room was tiny so we had to climb over our bags to get in and out of the room/bed/bathroom. The room was also right by the common room so it was very noisy. This place might be ok for drunk teenagers but it is 100% not appropriate for adults needing somewhere to sleep for the night. ##### Gwenwyfahr Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 가성비 대비 굿 친절한 데스크, 그러나 시설은 백팩 수준 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Holly, Hamilton 27 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room was basic which is all we needed but there was a sound from what seemed like a dryer going the whole night, we didn't get much sleep, we gave up trying by 6am. We had even turned off the air conditioning due to a different noise it made when the air-con was on, so we almost cooked ourselves, I had requested feedback from the hostel, still not heard anything after four days regarding the noise. ##### Holly Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert 19 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Wouldn't stay again Stayed in a few hostels in New Zealand and this just didn't have the same vibe as other places. Other guests didn't seem to be considerate to others by slamming doors constantly, even at 3/4am in the morning. The room itself was clean to look at but there were signs it needed more than a once over. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good. Was a last minute change of plans that was good ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I immediately liked this place on approach from the street. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful staff. I just loved the layout of the place, the way you stepped down into the common area. It was just a nices laid back, friendly vibe. The kitchen was nicely set up, the common area inviting. Thenrooms were very reasonable which allowed me to have my iwn room and bath. There was also small bar where I purchased a very nice NZ white wine at low cost. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Man Ling 1 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly and warm stay Facilities are clean, just stay for one night, the location is very convenient and staff are very friendly ##### Man Ling Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and affordable room for a one night stay while passing through. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice and friendly staff.
