Right in the centre of Napier which is good but was also noisy at night. Good kitchen, $1 pool and limited sky but not much else going on. Very good free breakfast and definately a good deal for the price. Lacks some character but a pleasant stay.

Lovely art-deco house. Does not look like a hostel at all, more like a nice hotel. Best interior i've ever seen in a hostel so far. Frienldy and helpful staff. Well maintained kitchen. Absolutely thumbs up!   Read Owner Comments

Great location. Breakfast is the best that I have had for an 'included' breakfast. It is not as noisey as I expected for being right in the centre of town. Would stay there again.

Really sweet place, would have had more fun if there had been more people there that weren't all couples- can't blame the hostel itself for that. Cheap bike rentals too- great deal!

great hostel with character and friendly staff, best free breakfast I\'ve seen so far, really inconsiderate room mates but that\'s not hostels fault!

Really cool place to stay but the club and grill underneath does get rather noisy on a saturday night and some of the rooms are directly above the dance floor area. If in one of these rooms be prepared to be kept awake until the early morning.
