Staff were very helpful. As a middle aged couple who are not looking for a "party hostel", it was perfect. Will recommend to other travelers.Staff were very helpful. As a middle aged couple who are not looking for a "party hostel", it was perfect. Will recommend to other travelers....Close

Very nice and helpful staff. The cleanest hostel we've seen so far! Great atmosphere, well equiped kitchen, comfy beds, awesome rental bikes (they should have lights though!). Music/Radio throughout the hostel could be reduced at some point...or a broader variety within the playlist.
Thanks very much, it was a great time for our stay in NZ, especially for young people!! Jailhouse rocks :)Very nice and helpful staff. The cleanest hostel we've seen so far!

Obviously, it's really cool to spend the night in a converted jail. Personally, I thought the place was a bit overrated (or a bit expensive for what you're actually getting), but it's a unique experience that's worth a visit if you're in Christchurch.Obviously, it's really cool to spend the night in a converted jail.

We loved our stay at the Jailhouse and recommended it many times to other backpackers before we left NZ. Tanya was great and very informative. The showers were heavenly and super-clean.
