Global Village Backpacker Reviews

This hostel was the most clean and organised I've seen yet! There are lots of interesting artifacts all over the place with truly excellent facilities. I particularly loved the super organised kitchen and the milk and eggs for sale. Our double private room had great decor, super comfy bed and the bathroom was really clean. I don't think it's all that close to the main part of Greymouth but it is close to a grocery store.

Our trip to Global World was a result of a recommendation and we were not disappointed. This is the best Backpackers (including about 100 English Youth Hostels) that I have stayed in. The staff and owners were brilliant. The facilities (free kayaks and bike) on top on sauna, hot-tub made the stay memorable. The whole place was spotless and as a direct result the guests treated the place like home. And no I am not the owner, even if it sounds like it.

This was one of my favorite hostels in NZ! The atmosphere was great, as were the staff and everything was so organized! Even though we arrived later than planned, the manager was still very friendly, understanding and helpful. I highly recomend this gem of a Hostel.

A great hostel. The atmosphere was very relaxing and we spent an evening sitting in the common room, listening to someone play the piano. Everyone at this hostel was very quiet and respected the place well. The staff were friendly and informative and the hostel offers free bicycles and kayaks. This hostel is very clean and has great amenities.

What makes Global Village special is the people. The staff are informative, friendly and helpful. They make you feel at home. The kitchen is the most popular place in the hostel. There are people there chatting at all times of the day. During dinner time the kitchen is alive! And the lounge has a good collections of books and magazines. When the weather is bad, you can hang around the lounge. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Highly recommended!

This was a surprisingly good backpacker hostel. Room and toilet were clean, and the lounge had a very homey feeling . Staff was helpful. One small negative was the poor wireless signal which was very slow.

out of this world.

The hostel was so lovely. The facilities were just great. The free bikes, kajaks,... We loved it there

very comfy hostel with beautiful decor and global travel theme. rooms and bathrooms spacious and clean. tv room with comfy seating and vast dvd collection. well stocked kitchen with seating by the patio. simon the manager extremely helpful and even provided lifts from bus depot and back! 10min walk to town centre but free bikes available. also loved the music playing in the lounge area and comfy sofas!

Global Village was amazing! It had an interesting, international decor and provided us with everything that we needed. There was a well equipped kitchen, clean shared bathrooms, laundry room, and lounge with lots of places to recharge laptops. The manager, Simon, was very helpful and everyone was very friendly.The hostel was close to a major highway and large grocery store. It was easy to get to by car but would have been a fair walk from the train and bus station.

Picked up from train station. Really friendly. Really nice clean hostel with amazing communal areas including hundreds of free DVD choices for the TV room. The manager was really friendly and knowledgable. Free Kayaks and bikes. Room was nice and big with comfortable beds. The whole hostel was absolutley spotless. Probably one of the best hostels i've ever stayed in.

Good, clean hostel with a great living room and fire place.

Funky hostel was all we needed for a 1 night stay walking distances from the brewery and not too far from city centre. Friendly staff but no one is available to check you in until 5pm which was ok because they had your key ready but if you wanted info on the area you need to wait until 5pm.

I loved this hostel, full of personality and very friendly. I would love to come back.

Amazing place with a really cool vibe, great staff who are really friendly! Wish i could've stayed longer

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Nice sitting area and kitchen. The staff made muffins for us in the evening and there are eggs in the morning from the chickens they keep. Free kayak and bike rental on site and a gym and sauna.

Great hostel, extremely friendly staff ,cool atmosphere

Great hostel! They really understand what backpackers need, and they provide it with flair! Good value, lovely staff, super clean - excellent choice!

Simply a great hostel. Incredibly friendly staff, clean bathrooms and rooms, well stocked kitchen, and facility is nicely decorated. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
