Loved Bumbles! The views are great, the beds are comfy, showers are good, and everythings is clean. Had a great few days stay. Kitchen/lounge was a nice size, both closes for cleaning between 11am-12am.The only bad thing we found was the wifi would only work in the lounge area. oh i didnt really like the staff coming in without knocking/saying anything to close the curtains and tidy the room, i guess it keeps the place nice and clean though :) Great place would stay there again!

I wish the wifi was free as most of the hostels I've stayed at in the past offers it free. Pls try to offer it free and you will have more people coming as the location is superb and Nikki from reception is super nice

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room but kitchen is a bit messy and short of kitchenware, and the shower is a bit screwed. Free carpark is a pleasant surprise. Ideal location and view. Overall very nice. I'd recommend you guys to any backpackers/rubber tramps heading to Queenstown!

Location couldn't be better--right close to town with a stunning view of the lake and mountains. Everything very clean and tidy. Downside is that the reception isn't open early/ late, which can be a both when returning keys to get your $20 security deposit back. Also, beds are a little creaky and the lockers charge $2 every time you open them.
