Guest Reviews

• Walker (10/5): - Staff are friendly !?
• Julie (7/5): Lots of stays here before - The reception staff person was amazing. I loved being allocated a bottom bunk thankyou. It was a midweek night and I was the other 3 beds were empty The door was difficult to open. Some loud early morning departure of one or two travellers at 4.30am could have been more considerate.
• Joseph (1/5): -
• Jenny (2/5): Lohnt sich nicht - Personal super freundlich & Lage top. Es wirkt mehr wie eine WG viele Long term stays, kein Platz in der Küche / Frigor. Zimmer mega heiss obwohl Herbst ist, Betten eher unbequem, es war sehr sehr laut von der Strasse & von Hostelgästen selbst bis spät in die Nacht. Da könnte man sowas cooles draus machen aber es sieht aus wie wenn nichts investiert wird.
• Julius (10/5): Mega gute Lage, kleines, gemütliches Hostel - Die Lage ist super zentral, das Hostel super gemütlich, vor allem wenn man sich drauf einlässt. Ich habe das Hostel vor allem lieben gelernt, als ich dann Longterm dort war, Preisgünstig und super Lage, wenn man Gastro arbeiten will. Die Sauberkeit hat jetzt keine großen Mangel, ist aber immernoch ein Hostel, also sollte man auch Hosteldsauberkeit erwarten.

• lucy (5/5): - Facilities were good, clean and staff was polite and helpful on arrival. Local parking is easy and good location to walk to shops and the beach. If you are looking for a quiet nice to sleep, this may not be the place as there are loud bars and clubs playing music until the early hours which was quite disruptive. Which was a shame as everything else was good
• Léna (7/5): parfait pour un très court séjour - emplacement parfait au coeur du mont maunganoui à côté de la plage; commerces, cafés il faisait extrêmement chaud dans la chambre, même avec des ventilateurs ce n'était pas des plus agréables. les douches pourraient avoir plus de fournitures pour poser ses affaires. Il n'y a rien du tout actuellement, on est obligé de mettre ses affaires par terre
• Maxine (9/5): -
• Andrew (2/5): - The shower pressure. Small cramped spaces,tiny kiitchen. Noisy room.Parttying,staff drinking everyday
• Chris (9/5): -

• Chris (8/5): -
• Diego Armando (8/5): -
• Robert (9/5): - Near of the beach. Nice room. Clean. Secure. Dining room and kitchen ok. Tv with movies. Toilets small ; only 2 sinks to wash ourselves.
• tony (8/5): Room comfortable, shared dorm 6 bed, I got up early…flexibility when using backpackers. Good hostel compact and staff ve - Very central close to all restaurants shops etc and close walk to beaches. Bar across street can be a little noisy however not too bad.
• Danielle (6/5): - Very average backpackers. Staff were lovely but unfortunately it’s just very run down.
• Andres (6/5): Won’t stay more than 1-2 days - Location Bed was old, I was sleeping on the boards of bed. They allow people with big speakers play music loud all day long.
• sally (4/5): I guess you get what you pay for. - Location - central to the main hub You can rent surfboards from here and walk to the beach No AC. It was unbearably hot so actually cancelled out stay early evening. The communal space it crammed with stuff. Shower and toilets dirty and falling apart.
• Leonie (8/5): Nice!! - The vibe The living area /showers

• Catherine (4/5): - Staff were very friendly. Location was very good Room was tight and beds were very close together. There was mould on the ceiling in the bathroom and bedrooms.
• Ruby (8/5): -
• Kylie (10/5): - location was great, staff were friendly and checking in/out was a breeze
• Audrey (5/5): - Bien situé, cuisine bien équipée Lits peu confortables, on doit nous même retirer nos draps alors qu'on paye quand même assez cher, hygiène moyenne (sauf dans la cuisine et les toilettes en fin de journée après le nettoyage), prises loin des lits
• Jace (7/5): -
• James (3/5): If you're totally broke, then sure - Receptionist was very nice. Shower works. Rafters <30cm above the top bunks. Blankets torn. Mattresses and pillows stained. This is the lowest tier of lodging you'll find in any city around the world
• Jenna (9/5): - 4 people per room was nice Nothing really
• Ollie (9/5): great location would go again - the location was great the bathroom facilities
• satish (10/5): -
• lykke (3/5): -
• Amanda (8/5): - Great staff and MY room was clean and nice. But the room next to mines looked like a homeless shelter (I think it was for long stays). Great location! Too few toilets/showers and they were dirty.
• Maela (5/5): Bon emplacement - L’emplacement Le personnel Bruyant toute la nuit Pas assez d’équipement dans les sanitaires
• martin (1/5): -
• benjamin (6/5): -
• Harel (5/5): -
• Camila (1/5): -
• Federico (6/5): -
• Walker (6/5): -
• Roger (7/5): Good place but needs more frequent maintenance - Great location and really helpful staff. Price is quite affordable and common areas are good. There aren’t enough burners at the kitchen for all the guests staying there, even more, some burners aren’t working. Some showers have problems with hot water so maybe you will finish the shower with freezing water.
• Roger (7/5): -
• Emily (8/5): Good location - This hostel had a great location in the centre of town. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Clean kitchen area. We stayed in a four bed dorm and it was a bit tight. However it was okay for our one night stay, and it was a good price.
• Cabrera (1/5): Un lugar horrible -
• Huang (10/5): -
• Erika (10/5): -
• Natalie Cihlarova (4/5): -
• Hichem (5/5): Passable pour une nuit - Ça localisation 3 toilettes et deux douche pour l’hostel entier sachant s’une douche n’a pas de verrou et ne se ferme pas La cuisine il y’a un qu’une plaque pour tout l’hostel Manque totale d’investissement!
• Ebony (10/5): Loved the location. Perfect if you're travelling alone. - The staff were friendly and inviting The showers. Only one was working.
• Maria (8/5): - Staff and other guests were friendly, and I got on with everyone just fine. It was good to have marking pen 🖊 ➕️ tape to label 🏷 my bags of food. I found enough space in the fridge, on top of it, and in the freezer to store my food. It would be great if there were separate (and clearly labeled) bins for recycling ♻️, compostables, and rubbishes that can't be composted or recycled: to educate & encourage people to sort their rubbishes/recyclables/kitchen waste.
• Anaelle (10/5): -
• Anna-Lena (5/5): - Good location, friendly staff Check-in took a little long. Shower was terrible. After three minutes, the water turned cold. A few minutes later, it got warm again and then cold again. Same happened to my friend.
• Kevin (10/5): -
• Edward (6/5): - The location is great, the beds were comfy, staff were friendly, and the price was more affordable then others. The surf gear hire and bikes is a great addition too Its really time for a good renovation and some TLC, it's overdue. This hostel could be so much more, it's a bit past what it was at some point. So much potential to make it so good again.
• Tobias (6/5): - Great people, not so nice rooms and facilities
• Alessandro (8/5): -
• Matej (9/5): -
• Juan Facundo (10/5): -
• Madison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lea (7/5): Good -
• Ally (7/5): Good - The staff were all super friendly, particularly the hostel 'matron'. Very communal vibe between everyone staying there (both international and NZ locals). Super central location, walking distance to everything in the Mount (beach, mountain, shops, bars) Bathrooms/showers weren't clean and weren't very pleasant to use. Very difficult to find parking
• Loren (8/5): Very good - The staffs and owners are very accomodating. ❤️Jo the owner was very kind hearted. Good place to stay, location was very close to everything, restaurant, cafe, very close to the beach and to Mt. manganui. It's fabulous😘😘😘
• Nanami (7/5): If you are keen to make a friend:) - If you are look for interactive with people at hostel, you should choose this hostel:) Easier to make friends !
• Michael (6/5): Fine for seasoned backpacker but not AirBnB/flashpacker types - They rent bikes and surfboards cheap to guests but also have couple rundown bikes available for free (best suited to just go along beach side paths rather than roads). Nice little chill out space for one or two people, good to read a book or whatever. They had a limited number of lockers available near reception and locks available too if you forgot yours or your one didn't fit. Reasonably social place due to large central table everyone sits at for meals, drinks, journalling, drawing etc. As a side sleeper mattress was uncomfortable as after a few hours it was concave so had to trie to sleep on edge or put duvet underneath. The disabled bathroom was best place to shower, other showers needed doors replaced or sanded down so don't get stuck in shower due to steam swelling/warping them.
• Walker (7/5): Good -
• Declan (10/5): - Close to everywhere very nice
• Shivers (8/5): Very good -
• Navi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arthur (8/5): Very good -

• Ange (7/5): Good -

• Noé (9/5): Superb -
• Tony (7/5): Mount Maunganui 🤙 - Location friendly staff
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Nevaeh (1/5): Bad - It was quiet unprofessional also had random trying to come into our room without knocking
• Maia (9/5): Highly recommend - Super helpful staff and an excellent location. Huge shout out to Rob for helping us get settled in and making sure we got to our venue on time! Legend! A bigger fan for room 5 would be awesome, I understand the windows need the safety locks. It was a humid weekend, 4 people and no breeze was a bit sweaty in there
• Judith (7/5): Jude Mt Maunganui - Location great, near barsbeach eateries cbd etc staff friendly but not many of them. Clean mostly Old tired facilities. 16 bed Dorm packed, dark dindgey, very little light or ventilation. Everyone's belingings scattered over floor. No real places or facilities ie shelves, hooks to put things. No plugs or bed lights. Couldn't tell if dorm was clean as too dark dindgey. Tripping hazrds due to clutter on floor a health & safety risk in a fire. Saw sprinkler & alarms installed hopefully working. Kitchen & Bathrms tho clean old tired needed painting. No shelves in shower or bench around bathrm sinks or many hooks. Needs painting, better facilities, more light, ventilation. Cost $55 on long weekend bit steep but average I guess. Just needs more aatention to detail. But I understand overheads & running of such places, just a bit of brightness & upgrading. Ok if one can roll past this stuff.
• Sylwia (7/5): Good -
• Fiona (8/5): Very good - Toilets and shower a bit tired.
• Jacob (7/5): Good location, but it's a bit too messy - Great location Looks messy all over the place. Prices are way too high, like everywhere else.in Nz.

If unsure ask, as i didn't know where to put some food as fridge nearly full... i realised later they had several fridges.. it didn't matter i kept non perishables in my room in a bag. Facilities okay..pretty good, good size hostel, lounge to chill out to watch tv smallish area,,,,,
