Excellent location for bus interchange & city centre Very well thought out. Great practical areas.

I liked the tech BUT!! If you're going to go full-on self-checkin make sure the terminals work please. We tried five times (twice with a staff member) kept rejecting us. Finally checked-in using the QR code. Also that you need to keep the access screen open on your phone while staying or, as we were informed it gets messy. We were worried about accidentally deleting it.

到基督城是晚上6点左右，青旅距离29路公交站特别近，只需要走2-3分钟，距离intercity bus上下车点也很近。并且距离黄超走路也就是10分钟左右。地理位置可以说是无可挑剔！公区很大，厨房也可以，提供饮用水，我订的8人间，房间内有两个洗漱间和浴室，配有吹风，房间有窗户，没有异味，空间也很大。非常推荐！！

冰箱总是满满当当。

Excellent, cosy room with good amenities.

The digital door locks is a bit annoying for me personally, I’d rather just have a key card

Definitely one of my favorite hostels in New Zealand. Location is superb. Such a shame that I only reach midnight. Bed is super comfy and super spacious. Managed to check in online and receive a digital key.

The reception simply ignore me. Bad attitude.
