Hostels in Canterbury, New Zealand

The hotel is in an excellent location and it's very convenient to walk to nearby attractions! Great, great! The only drawback is that there is no elevator, so you have to carry heavy luggage by yourself. However, the staff's service attitude is particularly good and they provided great assistance! I highly recommend this hotel!

great location, in front of new region street, close to city center. facilities are good, there are several bathrooms and toilets, never waited for one. kitchen is big, didn't use them but I think it's enough for backpacker to cook and storage their foods in fridge. I living in room for single, got a locker wardrobe and a window inside. I think there should be a table inside but there isn't, not big deal. the window was tricky, I don't.know how.to open or close it, it's like a trapdoor, maybe during winter it would be cold.

Cost-effective, parking lot, convenient location in the village. Full self-service hotel.

The owner is lovely and welcoming. Thank you for a great stay.

This is a hotel that was converted from a historic prison. The staff are very nice and the guests are very friendly. It feels like a big family living together. It is not too far to walk to the city, so everything is very convenient.

It was Easter 🐣 week so the shop was closed, so I called and they opened the door for me. The shop is a bar, so it may be crowded on normal days, but I think it's a good idea to check with the staff. Everyone is very friendly and kind, so you can enter the room with peace of mind. The private room is as shown in the photo, and it even has a refrigerator. It was kept clean and very comfortable. It was raining and the outside temperature dropped, but it didn't affect the room. The shared space is the kitchen, shower and toilet, but this shop has been there since the 1800s, so you can feel the history. However, the kitchen has been remade and is induction compatible. I have only ever used gas, but I was able to use it without any problems! I also decided on this hotel because I was planning to watch a rugby game. It is about a 15-minute walk away, and there are McDonalds and other places, and the street lights are basically on, so I think the security is not a problem. I highly recommend this hotel over other Doritomi, so please give it a try! Thank you for a wonderful time!

The environment is good, everyone is quiet. One night, there was a little brother outside the sister, very exaggerated No for one night.

Location is great, just a few minutes from famous spots in the CBD. Easy check-in and staff are friendly. The unit could use an upgrade, the furniture and fixtures have wear and tear that comes with age. The unit is also cold, not enough heating.

Couldn't snag a room at the popular Hermitage five months in advance? Haka House Aoraki Mt Cook Youth Hostel ends up being a ”reluctant alternative” for accommodation in Mount Cook. A double room here costs NZD 349 per night, and the facilities are as basic as a budget hotel, offering far less value for money than Queenstown's same-price B&Bs. For backpackers, a bunk in a shared dorm for NZD 74 per night is a better fit. The communal bathrooms and kitchen, though old, are clean and suitable for self-catering to save money. The highlight is its excellent location; it's a 10-minute walk to the trailhead, and late at night, you can step outside to see the Milky Way and snow-capped mountains. However, the double rooms have poor soundproofing and inadequate heating. During peak times, you might have to queue for the bathroom, so bringing your own slippers and earplugs is recommended. If you're driving and on a budget, I highly recommend staying in Twizel, a 30-minute drive away. You can get a standard motel room for around a hundred NZD – wouldn't you rather spend the savings on salmon? If you're staying overnight in Mount Cook, just book a hostel bunk!
