Staying here didnt leave good memories, the location good close to mall, on arrival there was no one to let us in, and at reception we had to wait 15+ minutes before anyone ever helped us. Beds covered in stains, no shower curtian, worms and cockroaches in shower, carpet was wet and rank. Plus theres no curfew here, our room was right next to outdoor deck which people were screaming and carrying on ALL night......these people consisted of the owners....no sleep in our room whatsoever.

Booked a 4 bed mixed dorm and was allocated a 6 bed mixed dorm. 4 women shared the other beds and on arrival into the dorm we were presented with a bomb site - clothing/objects ALL over the floor. Our 2 beds were semi in use (beds not made & items stored on bed). Numerous signs around the property threatening 'fining' for non compliance of rules (including direct charges to credit card). Insufficient room in fridges for storage. Location is actually Hamilton (700m to high st). Newc 4k away.

Anna, the owner, was so sympathic, helpful, hospitality, great person. She was amazing. I recommend the people stay in her place. The place is quiet and everything is close. The transport let everything too closo and free shuttle. The staff is very clean. I spent a good price to stay in this place. I could know all beaches and city ins 3 days. Slept good and had a nice stayed there. Thank you anna! Good lucky.
