Guest Reviews
- Gilad (8/5): Good place - The staff was very nice, the room, bed, and facilities were great, and the location was perfect, just near the city center. The road to the hostel was partially closed due to road work, and there isn't any close and cheap parking near it.
- Stephen (8/5): asI stated before in my last comment....it met our needs - The staff member who welcomed us and conversed with us during our stay was a great bloke. can't remember his name couldn't fault it as it met all our needs
- Clare (10/5): - Great location. 5 minutes walk to town centre. Private cabin had everything we needed, super clean and comfortable.
- Viktoria (10/5): -
- Aishwarya (8/5): -
- LI (9/5): -
- Yu-Hsuan (8/5): A budget place to stay a night in busy Queenstown - Good late check-in instruction, clean and good location
- Hannah (10/5): - Everything - felt really cosy and sweet if you're looking for some home comfort in busy Queenstown! Nothing
- Vincent (10/5): Super friendly team, awesome vibes, best stay on my trip - Amazing hostel with a super warm, social vibe – you instantly feel welcome, and there’s always something going on, whether it’s games, bingo, movies, or just hanging out and chatting in the kitchen or common area. Everything is very clean (the kitchen is even cleaned several times a day), and the staff are incredibly helpful, offering great tips as well as their own discounts for restaurants, bars, and activities like the Skyline Gondola. The location is perfect, with free parking on site and roads around the hostel, and it’s about a 10-minute walk to the Skyline Gondola, the town center, and the harbor. I loved it so much that I came back again just a few days later! During peak times, the bathrooms can get quite busy, but I never had any trouble finding at least one available.
- niki (6/5): - The room was fine, amazing living room. Amazing location Not enough toilets, showers. We had to wait Kitchen has old pots, pans. Not enough glasses etc
- YU-CHI (10/5): -
- hoi tung (8/5): For this price in Queenstown, it’s pretty good. - The location is good — it’s close to the centre and within walking distance. The parking area is quite small, but we were still able to park when we arrived around 2 p.m., and got one of the last spots. The room looks clean, but there are over 20 people sharing 3 bathrooms, so sometimes you have to wait a long time, especially in the morning It’s a bit noisy — I was woken up early by other people’s alarms. The curtains aren’t long enough, and the stair area isn’t covered, so light comes through and there’s not much privacy.
- RUOHUI (5/5): -
- Katsunari (7/5): 残念 - ロケーション キッチンが3か所あり、それほど混むことなく快適に料理することができた。 部屋の暖房が壊れているいるのか、寒くて仕方がなかった。ダイニングも同じく足元が寒かった。

- RBWD (4/5): -
- Alen (3/5): Thanks God for everything . - The location is good , we hope that will have breakfast meal . The pillow not comfort , there is bad smell in the bathroom , the sink is bad , always water fall down on floor .
- Robert (8/5): Convenient stay close to the centre of Queenstown - Great location, good amount of communal space. Beds in dorm were good size with plenty of storage and always clean. There were works to the road the hostel is on (that we were made aware of multiple times) which made parking a bit awkward.

- Ellen (8/5): -

- Bi_Ha (9/5): Schönes Hostel mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - sehr freundliche Begrüßung inklusive Führung durchs Hostel und Erklärung, was wo zu finden ist und wie es funktioniert. Viele gute Tipps für die Umgebung inklusive Rabatt für Hostelgäste bei einigen Aktivitäten und Restaurants etc. Ansprechpartner für Notfälle 24/7 im Hostel erreichbar. Gute Lage, ruhige Gegend, fußläufig schnell im Zentrum. Drei Küchen und somit immer genug Platz. Bäder sauber. Waschmaschine und Trockner in einem der Bäder vorhanden. Einige Gäste mit Langzeitaufenthalt. Gruppenangebote (Filmeabend, Pubquiz, Grillen etc.) Anzahl der Bäder etwas knapp

- Yu (10/5): 总体不错。尽管门口在修路。住宿体验很不错 - 地点，友好 床的遮挡如果能再完善一些更好
- Hafford (8/5): - Location excellent It was a good place
- Isabelle (5/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Good size under bed storage and enough space in kitchen The beds only have a half curtain. My mattress was so worn and dipped in the middle that I left with back ache. My room was also hot and smelt funny. There aren’t enough bathrooms so you often had to wait for the bathroom (especially in the evening) and there is no spare loo roll kept in them. Hostel is in a good location but is not as central as others. Seems like there are lots of long term people so felt like I was intruding.

- Hayley (8/5): -
- Katrina (6/5): Great location but no parking - Good location. Walkable to everything There is no parking despite saying there is. They direct you to a nearby street but it is constantly completely full. You have to park so far away and walk so far
- Cerys (10/5): Great night manager, really comfy beds. - I turned up quite late to the hostel but the overnight manager was lovely. He showed me around the hostel and even let me use his charger when I didn’t have mine. Nothing.
- Grant (10/5): Matches the brochure. - Friendly helpful staff. Great location 5mins walk to town
- Aiden (8/5): -
- Matúš (6/5): -
- Max (7/5): -
- Jisoo (10/5): - I have stayed in the new container which is nice and clean. All the facilities were clean and worked well. Staffs were kind and friendly. The location was close to the city, it was convenient for us who didn't have a car. The drain in the bathroom wasn't that good. Every time we wanted to meet staffs to ask something, we needed to wait.
- Marcella (7/5): Fijn hostel op handige locatie - Goede locatie en fijne bedden. Ook prettig dat er veel frisse lucht op de kamer was. Er zijn slechts 3 douches aanwezig, dat is heel weinig voor een hostel van dit formaat.
- Grant (10/5): - Everything , everyone Nill
- Agha Ahmed (8/5): -
- Jennifer (8/5): Hostel très confortable et friendly ! - L'ambiance est hyper chill. L'espace canapé/salon est vraiment très relaxant, très calme, ça permet vraiment de connecter avec les gens. L'hostel est super propre tout le temps c'est agréable, le personnel est adorable. Et l'hostel est calme et reposant ! Peut-être avoir des rideaux complets sur les lits pour vraiment avoir son intimité seraient appréciable.
- Abida (10/5): - Everything was great Nothing
- yehonatan (9/5): -
- Salvo8585 (8/5): -
- Wassim (10/5): - José from Brazil at reception helped me with securing lower bunk , organizing my time and tours Hostel is nice , car parking for the rental I had Location was good Highly recommend
- Charlotte (9/5): Wer ein gemütliches Hostel mit heimeliger Atmosphäre sucht, ist hier genau richtig! - Super freundliches Personal, sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre, mehr wie ein Haus als wie ein normales Hostel, Kinoabend am Sonntag. Am besten über Weihnachten hinfahren, um Steve kennen zu lernen! :-) Zimmer mit Schließfächern und Betten mit Vorhängen. Sauber und ordentlich Etwas wenig Badezimmer, kann zur Hochzeit eng werden,
- Zoe (8/5): - Great location, really friendly hostel, large kitchen & lots of fridges!! Beds were comfy, lots of locker space to keep things secure & everything was really clean. One of the best hostels i’ve ever stayed in! Occasional wait for the bathrooms as the toilet was in with the shower.
- Ryan (10/5): -
- Jasmine (10/5): - Felt homey very comfortable
- Rebecca (9/5): -
- Mohammad Rafayet (7/5): Beautiful - Beautiful Location, price
- Dalibor (10/5): Super ubytovanie. - Lokalita a izba krasne vonala. Mala izba, ale nic, co by sa nedalo zvladnut.
- Concetta (5/5): -
- Pittman (10/5): I’ve been travelling in hostels for 6 months and this is by far the best I’ve been to - The group of people at the property were very welcoming, lots of people staying long term that were very welcoming property is clean, has great facilities and hosts events like pub quizzes and movie nights. The only thing lacking was the lack of an ensuit option if u did want more privacy but the bathrooms were very nice and enclosed so you don’t need to worry at all
- Ian (9/5): -
- Marlot (9/5): -
- JÚLIA (7/5): -
- Ernest (8/5): -
- Matthew (8/5): Perfectly reasonable and enjoyable - Super well located to be not so in town as to be loud but not so far to be isolated; staff were all lovely - shout out to Josh who took the time to show us around despite being real busy - and everyone was considerate! Facilities were also clean and tidy with bathroom towels changed every day, and the lounge nice and cozy. Luggage lockers under the beds were also huge! The bedding seemed quite tired - my mattress had a dip in the centre just from age I'm assuming. My reading lamp was also broken and there were no power sockets for upper bunks.
- Maedy (6/5): ok and good location - Location. The cost verses what you got.
- Jesse (8/5): -
- Eugene (9/5): -
- Mariana (10/5): Social y chill? Este es el Lugar! - Las vibras. Podes socializar con gente de muchos países y en situaciones diferentes (whv, nómadas digitales, turistas) y también estar en un ambiente relajado. Además, Gonza, José y Josh son muy amables y están dispuestos a ayudar si es preciso. Las instalaciones son limpias y cómodas. Hay 3 cocinas, 4 baños y 2 salas de estar. Es muy cómodo moverse dentro del hostel y queda cerca del supermercado más cercano y del centro turístico de la ciudad. Estoy muy feliz de haber elegido este hostel para quedarme. Definitivamente lo voy a recomendar y volvería a quedarme! Me gustaría que el login del hotspot del WiFi sea una sola vez, o sea que luego de loguearme se conecte automáticamente. Pero es un punto pequeño a comparación de todo lo bueno que esté alojamiento ofrece.
- Jong Kook (9/5): -
- Gimenez (6/5): -
- Marie (8/5): -
- Isabela (8/5): - The staff are nice and helpful. They have a living room where you can watch movies or just relax. The sofa is really comfortable. There are only 2 bathrooms. You have to wait several minutes to take a bath. Sometimes there is a queue.
- Tatiana (5/5): -
- Johann (10/5): -
- Zoë (8/5): Would recommend Flaming Kiwi Backpackers - Great location, and fantastic facilities (lounge, kitchens etc). Easy to meet people. A good place to start our trip! Double room with shared bathroom was a little small, but the huge balcony made up for this!
- NIEN JU (10/5): 裡面很整潔大家都很好相處 - 櫃檯服務人員超熱心 淋浴間有點少
- Ricardo (8/5): -
- Karim (6/5): -
- Rodgers (9/5): - Friendly staff,clean facilities,all-round good will stay there again.
- Serena (10/5): El mejor hostel - Genuinamente el único hostel de que me dio pena irme. Ambiente 10/10, siempre limpio, actividades divertidas cada noche pero sin ser un hostel de fiesta. Un saludo a Josh y al resto de trabajadores que están siempre dispuestos a ayudar y con una sonrisa.
- Laurs2222 (10/5): - Clean
