Convenient location with comfortable rooms. Three kitchens, all stocked with enough utensils and equipment to cook. However, very busy at meal times. Also hardly any room to store food in the fridge/cupboards, possible due to the amount of long term residents resulting in severe lack of food storage room actually free. Few toilets/showers, not enough for the amount of people staying at the accommodation. Also very limited parking! Arrive early before other guests if you want to squeeze into a space. Bonus was free tea/coffee. Good location for access to Queenstown and local walks (see picture).

The bed is cleaned and firm. The cabinet is cozy. There is a electric heater in the room, which is fantastic for cold day.

The location is strategic which near to town centre. Receptionist is friendly and helpful. The bunk bed is clean and everyday will have people to clean the common areas. Overall is good.

The facilities are generally good and satisfactory, but the parking location is lacking. If self-driving friends have the opportunity to find a parking space on the street opposite the youth hostel, it is basically free. In addition, we had requested in advance that the room should be quiet and have windows, and we basically did it. The room was relatively quiet, and there was almost no noise from other people after 10 o'clock at night. This is also one of the requirements of the youth hostel, as there are many backpackers. So we try to stagger the time we use public facilities. We drive out for most of the day, so it doesn’t take long to come back at night. The location is relatively convenient, the price is moderate, and I recommend it ~

It was so uncomfortable because all the beds were out of bed. It was hard to notice the dormitory room because it made a lot of creaking noise. The staff were friendly and did a good job cleaning. Still, it feels old, perhaps because it is a building with a long history. It was difficult to wash because the toilet and shower room were next to each other and there wasn't enough room. I'll go somewhere else next time.

Good stay here. Booked private room - was a seperate building outside with short walk into main building for bathroom and kitchen. All pretty clean - room was a bit heavy with smell or air freshener. Parking is tight but generally available. Easy walk into Queenstown (~15 min) for main sites/attractions in town.
