"My favourite hostel!"

10.0

This is genuinely the best hostel I’ve stayed at in 4 months! The rooms are huge, cosy and clean. The extra facilities like the Zen room, the cinema, the terraces and the kitchen/lounge are brilliant. Everything is really well thought out. The kitchen is a tad small but totally usable with great equipment. All the staff I interacted with were lovely too. Thankyou so much!

The only thing I wish was that there were more Drifter locations in NZ!
