Nice spot to explore Taupo. Centrally located, nice big pods and a roomy private bathroom if your staying in a dorm room. Front desk was helpful and professional. Large inner courtyard with hammocks, couches, bean bag seats and chairs to relax and socialize in. The only drawbacks are it's not the cleanest hostel clean but not sparkling!the mattresses were a bit worn and the bed sheets were of average quality. But for the price it's a solid choice for a stay in Taupo. Recommended.
In general, the hostel needs better cleanliness. It seems to be more suitable for people in their 20s. I had a bad night — the girl above me was having sex, and in the early morning there were two hours of shouting, vomiting, and a drunk guy passing gas.nnIt’s unfortunate because you could potentially have a good night there. Personally, I would look for another option. My recommendation for the hostel would be to have 24-hour reception, or at least a phone number available to report issues immediately, and to improve the overall cleanliness.nnI stayed on March 28th and March 1st, 2026.nnKind regards.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Shared a bathroom with 2 other rooms so max 6 people. It was the nicest bathroom we’ve had across all the hostels we’ve stayed in. Well-equipped main kitchen downstairs that we liked cooking in. We also appreciated that we were able to store food in the fridge attached to the area we were staying in and make tea and coffee in the morning. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony too with a beautiful view. Comfy stay overall and great value for money.
I’ve booked the female dorm. Room was big. I’ve appreciated the space inside the pod. Thank you for well cleaning. Even the kitchen was well cleaned with a real dish soap and cleaned towels.nStaff were nice and very helpful.nLocation is not that bad. Plenty space for car park for free. There is a pak n save next to the hostel. Very convenient. And I saw and heard that there is a bus stop front of the hostel.
Very close to the centre. Clean Hostel and had our own privacy.nCool TV room with Piano, lots of games to play with and push bikes for hire.nReally useful since Taupo is bike friendly.nnHowever most of the stove tops were not working and found it a bit difficult to cook food. I get that a lot of people cook all the time but this should be maintained frequently.nnAll in all still liked it!
