Emplacement parfait proche de tout et surtout du Lac. Salle de bain propre et spacieuse. Chambre assez grande même si les matelas n'était pas les plus confortable tout était propre Équipement de la cuisine correct. Excellente connexion Wi-Fi.

Pas très arrangeant sur le check out alors que les conditions météo était catastrophique.

"Good place to Stay In Tekapo."

9.0

Staff was friendly & helpful! Good, reasonable, onsite coin operated laundry, includes washing powder, & they have change at reception. Everything, including bedding kept sparkly clean. Kitchen well equipped. Liked the Skylight in my room so you could see the stars ✨️ Very glad there was a heater in the room as it was freezing at night. The skylight kept it warm in the day when it was sunny. Liked the location once I found it!

Hard to find, not well signed 😞 Would have been easy if it was, or if given better directions before arrival. As it was, I was wandering around town with my bags looking for it 😡 Bathroom doors need adjusted so they don't slam! 🙉

"Simple and basic, clean and tidy."

7.0

Check in was quick, location good but no view from Hostel (Hotel rooms were prime), walk to everywhere, rooms were massive, beds comfy but squeaky, sheets clean, but only window was a skylight that we couldn’t open or block out. Kitchen and bathroom were clean and super crispy fresh towels!

バックパッカーホテルだと思っていたらスタジオユニットに案内されたおかげで、オウンバスルームがとても快適でした。

上の階や外の人の話し声が少し気になりました。
