All I could imagine about a dream hostel is Kipps Canterbury. I spent 2 more nights there because it makes me feel at home. Missing dear Carmen, the most cheerful lady I've ever met; and Shane, the best sausage cook in Canterbury and Michale, whom I met 2 times both in Kipps Brighton and Kipps Canterbury; and Gabriel, Billiot, you guys are my family in UK.

Carmen, Scott and staff made our stay very enjoyable. The theme nights were a great ice breaker, we met a number of interesting people. The staff's knowledge of their area and their keenness to help made everything great We will recommend other Australians to stay at Kipps

This is probably the best hostel I have ever stayed in. The room was clean, large and the bedding was changed every day. The breakfast was good and cheap. The the only small issue was the bottom bunks have little headroom, so once you are in it can be a bit claustrophobic. The staff was very nice and helpful and went out of their way to make sure i had everything I needed.

Excellent Hostel. A little out of the way from Canterbury West Station, but worth the walk/bus ride. Also, the toilet seemed to struggle flushing in my room, but it seemed to manage. The people who work here are genuinely interested in their guests, and they do their best to make sure visitors enjoy themselves. The night I stayed, they made free pancakes for anyone who wanted them! Fantastic dinner, amazing service.

Very friendly staff that were very helpful. Free afternoon tea, internet, sky tv and very good value basic breakfast. The only down side was that I found it too warm!

The staff were AMAZING. The woman at reception welcomed me in and she was so friendly! The other 'live-in' staff were also wonderfully helpful and friendly. The hostel is quiet homely and comfortable, wonderful garden and breakfast are. I only stayed one night but I wish I could have stayed longer!
