Love that they were the only ones that had free internet, but naturally, free means an abuse by other guests. :( Still, the staff were very accommodating and friendly. It's right in the heart of Franz Joseph village so everything was within walking distance.

The most comfortable bed I have slept in since I arrived in New Zealand. Room was very confortable for a short stay and the amenity was well organised, washing, cooking, internet ect. I would certainly recommend it.

The atmosphere was fun and friendly, with a big common room where all guests could watch TV together. Staff were friendly, and very helpful, and it was evident that the kitchen and bathrooms were cleaned on a daily basis.

Excellent and very caring service from what I think was the manager. My son was sick and he went beyond the call of duty to help us. Would definitely recommend.

The staff seemed a bit unrelaxed, but was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was not great, but you can find everything you need in a hostel. The free wifi was good.

The 'free' internet would be helpful if there was a time limit. As there were only two computers and some people stayed on for hours not allowing other guests to use it.
