"A lot of amenities for guests to use and a central location"

7.0

It was really central, and there were plenty of things for guests to do such as books, board games, and a TV to watch Netflix. The bathroom also had a separate one for women-only, which I thought was quite considerate. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed

Parking was a bit of a pain as it ended up being quite expensive, but it’s expected to be difficult in a city centre

"Great sociable hostel in the centre of town"

8.0

The hostel was great, staff were really friendly and the place was nice and sociable. It was also in a good location within walking distance to the shops/sights etc. Facilities were clean and we appreciated the laundry service.

Kitchen was quite small and we were unlucky with the people we had in our dorms (snorers each night) but that’s not the hostels fault. Next time we would probably opt for the pod dorm rather than the basic one.

"Pein centre et excellente ambiance"

8.0

Auberge de jeunesse très bien tenu par le personnel très sympathique et attentif. Les espaces communs sont très propres. Nous avions une chambre à 4 lits cabines très confortables qui préservent l'intimité et offrent un bel espace. Le système de rangement est ingénieux et pratique. De plus, il peut se sécuriser avec un cadenas. Situé en plein centre de Dunedin, à proximité des commerces et restaurants. Néanmoins, nous avons passé des nuits au calme. Pour qui ne cherche pas le luxe, c'est une excellente adresse.
