Guest Reviews
- Gabriel (10/5): -
- Poria (9/5): - Great location, facilities were clean, adequate, AB’s easy to access.
- Daeun (10/5): Excellent - This is the best backpacker I’ve stayed at so far. The kitchen never felt too crowded, and even though the bathroom were shared, they were more designed more like private bathrooms. so it comfortable and had good privacy. I wouldn’t really recommend it for people with a lot of luggage. There’s no lift and the rooms are a bit small so it’s not very convenient if you have a large luggage.
- Yu (10/5): 最高！ - バスルームがおしゃれでドライヤーが準備されていた。ベッドの向きが良かった。キッチンもおしゃれでベランダにある揺れる椅子も面白かった。
- Simone (10/5): -
- Halil (4/5): Clean and well located, but very basic for the price with major issues including scaffolding outside, early morning nois - The apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was convenient for getting around. The apartment felt very basic for the price paid. The main issue was the scaffolding directly outside the windows, which was not clearly shown in the listing/photos. Builders started early in the morning and the scaffolding was so close that the curtains could barely be opened without losing privacy. There was also only one small mirror in the bathroom for a room accommodating up to 3 people. I contacted the host regarding these issues but received no reply or assistance.

- William (8/5): Not one of the best hostels I've stayed, but convenient enough. - Nice location, away from busy street but close enough. Nice view.
- Chantal (10/5): - Friendly helpful staff, really great when I needed to add another night to my stay and great recommendations/local knowledge. Generally friendly and respectful vibe in the hotel, pod was comfy. Female only dorm available with private bathroom, was comfier than regular dorm i stayed in first night. Right next to all bars and restraunts.
- Hitomi (9/5): -
- Ryusuke (10/5): -
- Estella-Maria (10/5): - I have never stayed in a hostel that clean. Staff is super friendly and pods give a lot of privacy.

- Brian (10/5): Favorite hostel in NZ - Everything you want: great location, very clean, comfortable beds, nice staff.
- Jessica (10/5): love this hostel - This was my third time staying, it is such a great hostel. The kitchen is large, clean, and has plenty of cookware in excellent condition. The 4-queen bed dorm with kitchenette and patio is absolutely luxurious, great value. The staff are welcoming and efficient. The location is prime. The hangout lounge is comfy and spacious with awesome views.
- ranjit (7/5): -
- Wei Zhe (8/5): - 離市區很近也有自己的停車場 停車場要收費
- Aline (9/5): - Localização muito boa, funcionários atenciosos e limpeza da cozinha. A limpeza dos banheiros poderia melhorar mas acredito que foram os hóspedes. Perto do quarto que fiquei tinha pouco banheiro. E o quarto é um pouco apertado
- Alexandra (10/5): - Comfy bed, soft sheets and very clean bathroom/ facilities. Perfect location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
- Natasha (8/5): - Great hostel. Really clean. The 4 bed dorm was great. Comfy and roomy. Nice view from the shared lounge
- JIA HONG (10/5): Good location - Near the town center No lift
- Alida (10/5): - The beds were great to get a good night's sleep, comfortable, warm what more can I say 😊. Great location, was easy to find being on main road coming into town, checking in late was very helpful.
- Ngan (8/5): -
- Shubham (10/5): -
- Víctor (8/5): -
- Zoe (7/5): Location and comfort - Great spot in town, beds comfy and the privacy of the pods was great. I didn't cook in the kitchen but it looked to have most things. Towel hire $3 for a nice thick and thirsty large towel. My locker for my bag was outside the room which was fine but there just wasn't enough floor space to open up a carry on wheelie bag without taking up the whole room.
- Sophia (7/5): I got some great sleep in my king single after coming down with a sickness, was cured with free hot chocolate. - Very clean, beautiful representation of cultural art and outdoors and located perfectly in town. Great size of storage for belongings to be kept safely locked away. The rooms were only big enough to lay open one suitcase in a hostel of 4. Great experience - however, I felt inconvenient when we were both preparing to checkout at the same time trying to give each other space.
- Elyane (10/5): - Well situated, comfy and intimacy in the pods. Also helped not hearing people snore since the pods isolate you from others
- Sophia (9/5): -
- HANAE (8/5): - 場所が便利！他のホステスに比べお値段はしますが、ベットが多きかったし、客層がよかったので快適に過ごせました。スタッフの人も優しい

- Shirokuman (8/5): - 市街地の中心部から歩いて5分ほどと、立地がとても良かったです！スタッフの方が親切に施設内を案内してくれたので安心しました😊お部屋も清潔ですし、各部屋にトイレとお風呂が付いているのが便利で助かりました🙌 部屋の外にある共有のシャワールームについて、人が入るとセンサーで感知して自動で照明が点く仕様になっていたが、時間が経つと自動で照明が消えてしまう。シャワーを浴びてる最中に真っ暗になってしまい、一度外に出ないといけないのが少し不便どった😂
- Anderson (7/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): - Very tidy and clean, staff were great and welcoming on arrival!
- birnie (10/5): Thank you!!! What an experience - Everything the staff are amazing too. Linda and Shea were most helpful when i was sorting out some flight issues Everything was perfect
- Mahdieh (10/5): -
- Lillian (9/5): Comfortable and clean. - The Queen Pod in the 5 bedroom Female dorm was super comfortable. All facilities were clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. A bit of a walk to all the main attractions and places of convenience. Take an umbrella or be prepared to run as you will need to cross 2 intersections if it rains.
- Zhong (9/5): - Good location, easy check in, quiet room
- Fumiya (9/5): -
- Sara (10/5): -
- Xiang Yi (9/5): -
- Yu-hsuan (8/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): - Very comfy bed, clean, good communal kitchen facilities, quiet.
- Angela (9/5): Solid - Pretty solid place. Location is good, just a 5 minute walk to get to the area of QT where the activities/dining are. The pods are nice, very private. Also, note that the pod can get a bit warm throughout the night, but you can mitigate it by not sliding the privacy curtain all the way(leave a sizeable crack). I liked the shelf behind the pillow, very spacious. Bed was comfortable The front desk staff was nice and I appreciated the tour. the baggage storage room is also locked and you need to get the key from the front desk. The extra security is appreciated. Did not use the kitchen or communal space frequently, but did not that it's quite spacious and nice Bathroom (ensuite and communal) are decently clean. Could be cleaner, but depends on the behavior of other patrons. wasn't a big fan of my specific bed's locker being outside the room in the hallway. I understand why though, given the room layout. I have a lock so it was fine, but wasn't too big of a fan. Not a huge thing to consider a negative tbh. Would love more hooks everywhere Think one of the steps on the stairs is just slightly larger than the rest, which caught me off guard going down, so be cautious if you have weak ankles. Nbd tbh

- Wilson (10/5): Great place to stay with very friendly staff would highly recommend to anyone - The view from the deck The water in the shower kept changing temperature constantly without any input
- Sabrina (9/5): - Bien placer dans Queenstown. Proche de tout. Hostel super original. J'ai un lit queen dans la chambre de 4 avec cuisine priver et terrasse. Le casier sous le lit est très grand. Boucoup de place. C'était génial. Grande salle de bain sur l'étage. Rien tout était super

- Michelle (8/5): Excellent, wonderful hostel to stay in! - Bed was comfy and spacious! Curtains did an excellent job of creating privacy and darkness for sleeping.The deck was lovely to sit at and take in the views. The bathroom was clean during my stay except the last day but it was a holiday so maybe they were short staffed. Excellent cleanliness overall.
- min-chi (9/5): -
- Emma-Lee (8/5): Great Location & A Quiet Dorm Hostel - Pods are more private than dorm accommodation. Not a single issue with any person. The staff were helpful, location central and cost cheap. Reasonably quiet and the pods more spacious that previous pod hostels I've stayed in. It's not the fanciest pod hostel I've stayed in - they're plywood.
- Francesca (10/5): Super place well done guys - Great comfortable stay Nothing
- Wendy (8/5): -
- OI LAN (8/5): - 位置近中心，很方便 要跑樓梯才能到房間
- Yurika (9/5): 旅人同士が交流もできる最高の旅 - クイーンベッドにしたら、すごく広くて、ホステルと思えない様な快適さがあった。 数日間でも、戻ってくるなら荷物は無料で預かってくれるのも、最高のサービスだった。シャワーやトイレの数もたくさんあるので、待つこともないし、前に使った人が汚していたとしても、綺麗なシャワーブースもあった。毎日しっかり、清掃もされていてよかった。 私自身は、物音がしても寝られるので問題なかったが、物音が気になる人は快適さを感じられないかも。
- Monica (10/5): Excellent Stay - Clean and tidy. Highlight was the shower pressure! And of course the separate pods with curtains for privacy. They also kindly stored luggage for me for a few days when I was away on a hike.
- Chihiro (9/5): 便利、清潔、快適 - 空港からのバス停や中心地へのアクセスが最高なのはもちろんのこと、共有設備が整っていて、料理もシャワーも気兼ねなくできた。他のホステル利用者の方々の民度もよく、使用した食器や調理器具はみんなすぐ洗って片付けていたので常に清潔に保たれていた。一人で行ったが、治安の良さを感じた。 ロッカーの鍵がかからないので日本人からすると多少不安かも。貴重品は常に持ち歩いていた。その分治安がいいことの現れでもあると思う。
- Livia Louisa Hutter (9/5): - Big room, and good bed Bathroom was verry cold
- Rachael (8/5): Great hostel - great privacy in the rooms, nice view over Queenstown, central location, parking (paid) available Had to pay for parking but think the price was very good for Queenstown!
- Jean-Marc C (10/5): - Super bien situé . Pratique salle commune. Propre. Nous avions chambre privée toilettes salle de bains commune très bien. Rapport qualité prix. Super plan Tout

- Thanh (9/5): Nice and very clean hostel in town - Very nice and clean hostel in town. Nothing
- Oscar (10/5): - Comfortable and private pods. A lot of shared rooms in other hostels don't offer the same level of privacy. Clean and tidy bathrooms and kitchen area. Always staying at this pod hostel in Queenstown.
- Neil (8/5): -
- Jasper (8/5): - Walking distance to city Room size smaller than expected
- Kare (6/5): - Staff member was very friendly, and the mattress was comfortable. There weren't enough bathrooms for the amount of people sharing them. Please consider installing some shelves in the shower stall without the toilet. The ceiling was very low in the upper bunk. The wall was very thin, I could hear people talking on the phone in the other room (before I put on my ear plugs).
- Monika (8/5): -
- Mitchel (10/5): Excellent Location and Comfortable Hostel Experience - Comfortable and beautiful surroundings. NIL
- Ying-li (10/5): 房間的簾子很有隱私，廚房也很整潔，房源地點離intercity bus站牌只要走四分鐘，非常方便！ -
- Iris (9/5): - The staff were extremely friendly and patient; if I have the next opportunity to explore Queenstown, I will definitely stay for longer.
- Maddy (10/5): - Friendly staff, very clean, loved the pod. One of the best hostels I have stayed at, and would stay again in a heartbeat. Nothing.
- Abror Usmanaliev (10/5): -
- Ting Chi (8/5): - 床很大很舒服 洗澡水忽冷忽熱
- Jenna (7/5): - Really comfortable bed and good kitchen. I liked the pods In the dorm room it was very cramped and there wasn’t a lot of space for anyone’s bag. My locker was outside the room.
- Minna (10/5): - Good size big pod, big kitchen with everything you need. Also nice to have free Coffee, tea and Hot cocoa. Nice space to hang out, terrace with good view. Good location!
- WING KAM (10/5): - 近巴士站／超級市場／皇后鎮景點
- DANILO (8/5): NICE STAY IN QUEENSTOWN - Exellent location. Everything at wolking distance. Nice kitchen and common area. Wifi signal ok. Staff very friendly and professional. The room was too small for 4 people
