"Friendly and basic base for Queenstown"

6.0

It's hard to find places in Queenstown in Feb and Hippo were there for us. The room (with private bathroom) was clean and just what we needed. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a relaxed feeling around the place.

There is a steep hill to climb back from town, which you need to be prepared for. Some mould in the bathroom, and the cost was quite high for what it is. But Queenstown is fabulous so get in while you can.

Het uitizicht is prachtig! Bedden zijn fijn met gordijn en eigen stopcontact (niet allemaal).

Slechte ervaring met inchecken, dat ze mij meerdere keren van kamer wilden laten wisselen tijdens 5 nachten verblijf. Door dronken groep, kots in het toilet en gang. Veel Duitsers die vooral Duits praten en niet sociaal waren.

"It's a place to stay when absolutely anything else you can afford is booked."

2.0

I had never stayed in a hostel before so I may not be the best person to write a review. The best I can think of to say about this place is that it was a place to stay.

It was run down, the room for six people was tiny and getting to the property is indeed a challenge in mountain climbing.
