this hostel was extremely noisy, i know its queenstown but being 10 minutes out i expected it to be quieter. i also had the worst room, no.6, which was right next to the stairs and just above the kitchen. when the noise finally died down, they decided to vacuum, at 3am!! there was finger marks on the walls, and make up spattered everywhere. its not worth the 10 minute walk out.

Nice position by the Lakefront but it is a walk to the town centre. It's quite an old YHA, just average.

bathrooms very dirty and the ceiling was leaking. 2 of us booked together 6 weeks in advance but they still couldnt manage to put us in the same room because it was \'busy\' yet another friend booked a week before we went and ended up in one of our rooms.

The staff was very friendly n helpful and the toilet was very clean. Yet, embarrassment may result as the shower room/ toilet on the 3/F was for both men n women; It could be better if separate shower rooms could be arranged for each sex.

The staff was very helpful concerning tours, bookings etc. In some rooms the headspace was way to low if you had the upper bed.
