Nice hotel, staff very friendly, room was clean, plenty of shared areas, easily walkable Only noticed it could use a couple more bathrooms/showers, but with as busy as the hotel was, we had to shower it was never more than a 5 minute wait. Definitely would stay here again! Loved it.

Queenstown stopover

It was convenient to have a seperate cabin, but the bathrooms were a bit few. typicaly peopledon not understand the oncept of mopping the floor in the wet floor bathroom after thay have used it, so it was frequently wet.
Vivienne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a warm welkom and I stayed for a week, they put longstay together, so i got to know my roommates and they were very nice. I really enjoyed my week there. In the evening there were activities like bingonight, movienight, gamingchallenge etc. I had lucky with a free parkingplace but there are not many spots so that’s the only minor…

This was a great backpackers to stay at overall. The only thing I think needs to be noted is that I believe there was a leak in our "cabin". The room was musty smelling and at times the carpet felt damp.
