Everything in the facility is modern and clean.

The only thing is the kitchen area, which is too small for lots of guests.

Excellent location

Online check-in, although fast, is impersonal. Later, when staff were around, it felt odd to not have been welcomed on arrival. We have stayed here several times now and this still feels odd.

Läget var perfekt, bara 2 minuter promenad till bussterminalen, rummet var stort - bokade en sovsal med 8 sängar och det fanns två badrum på rummet vilket var helt underbart! Badrummen var rena och fina! Bästa hostel i Christchurch!

Köket var väldigt litet, fler kylar hade behövts.
