Die Lage ist sehr gut, aber das war es auch schon.

Das ganze Haus ist in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Es riecht unangenehm, die Küche klebt und das Geschirr ist schmutzig. Das Bad ist sehr alt und runtergekommen. Wir haben uns zunächst gewundert, dass wir keine weiteren Gäste gesehen haben, aber uns wurde schnell klar warum. Es ist kein einladender Ort und ich habe in vielen Jahren noch nie so eine unangenehme Unterkunft erlebt.

De ligging, vlak bij het centrum van Rotorua

Het was er heel erg vies, schimmel bij de douche, bij de wasbak. In de keuken zat de waterkoker onder de schimmel, plakkende nachtkastjes. Keuken was te vies om er te kunnen koken

I guess it's alright but I didn't feel very comfortable with the cleaning. Some smell is expected from the town but the kitchen smelled really bad. The staff was fine, don't be too hard on them. Not many other backpackers there.
