Haven't found a single thing that would be wrong with this hostel. I just stayed for one night, but everything was super good. One of the best in NZ!

The bedroom was a little cramped. Fortunately there were never 6 people in it or I don't know where we would all have put our things!

the only hostel in new zealand I wouldn't stay at again.... maybe because of the girl on reception and her attempt to screw us out of cash!

Stayed here during the Scotland RWC matches. Excellent hostel. Superb location - right next door to the Speight's Ale House. Staff were great. I would stay here again if I ever returned to Invercargill.

A top hostel ran by top staff who looked after me very well during my stay. Location is great in the middle of the city. The cafe in the hostel does the best breakfasts.
