CAUTION - Extra charges will apply because hostel manager is not clear in her instructions. Hostel is in a good location, great vibe with the added kitty. Other guests are great. However, beware of hostel manager who is everything BUT clear with her after-hours instructions We were charged 30$ extra for using showers that we were 'not supposed to use'. I wonder if she charges extra to those who leave the kitchen dirty after cooking? Wanted to leave luggage in her storage room and would have done so had she not arrived and rudely told us she would close the storage room at 2.00 instead of 4.00 PM like it is written on the door of said storage room. A shame that a great trip to Christchurch ended on such a note
Best hostel in Christchurch. Feels really welcoming, loads of grass patches in the hostel area and the hot tub + sauna really makes it perfect. Bus stop it just across the street and a good bar Bridie’s a 1min walk away. Worth the money and 100% recommended!Rooms: 5/5
This Is an old reputed hostel, but now it seems if owners not taking Intrest. This property is now on sale as published on the sign board exhibited outside. Rates for dormitories are higher as compared to other Christchurch city hostels. Location is not good. Far from city centre and not approachable on foot from Bus exchange or city centre. No shopping mall is near by. Kitchen is very small and not up-to mark. Rooms are also dark and look unhygienic. Toilets are also outnumbered than capacity, old fashioned and have issues. Not recommended from my side.
Sam and George are the friendliest and most helpful receptionists I’ve ever encountered at a hostel. Absolutely one of my favorite hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The vibes are mellow but fun and social. The kitchen is very clean, spacious and well equipped, each bunk has its own nightlight and outlet for charging, there is a hot tub and sauna to enjoy on the chilly evenings, nice laundry facilities, and clean bathrooms and showers. I really appreciated that there was no curfew, we are adults after all. : The only downside for me was the distance from the city center, but I wanted to stay somewhere quiet without the young party crowd that typically flocks to the hostels in the center of town. There is a bus stop directly across the street though which will get you to the city center in 10 minutes for $4.50.
Great hostel in a good location. Parking space at the hostel, but if that's full there is plenty of street parking. I loved the design of the hostel with different houses and a lot of grass space. Good security in the hostel as it has a card key for the building and each room. And there is also a safe for each person in the room to use. Each bed has two USB plug and two outlets. My only complaint was that the beds were pretty uncomfortable and springy, but I really enjoyed the hostel and it's a great value so I'm still giving it 5 stars. Kitchen was soooo impressively clean and so were the toilets and showers. Each one is separate and you get your own space in the showers. Lastly, cool staff! Thanks for being so chill!
For my long experience living like a backpacker in Christchurch, this is the best hostel in town, very comfortable beds, very clean and tidy, super quiet, beautiful gardens, nearly to everything, if you have bicycle is perfect! 5 min to town, 10 min to my job, 20 min to the beach. 100% recommended.
Lovely place. We loved our stay here, the hostel in really clean, we had a spacious double room qui ensuite, really sunny and calm ! For sure we will come back here if we come back in Christchurch, People here are so nice and it feels like a familiar hostel, we loved it ! And the big bonus, there is the cutest dog we met, Max !Rooms: 5/5
It was fantastic from the beginning until the end. Starting with the lovely and friendly welcome of Luca who explained everything perfect to us, continuing with the well equipped and clean kitchen free coffee available!, we directly felt at home. In our dorm room we had huge windows and the beds were comfortable too. Plus: Two sockets for every bed - Perfect to use especially in combination with the free wifi! Another nice feature were the secure lockers. Even though, I didn‘t need to use them because I felt safe over the whole stay, I do think it is another good opportunity to create and support a safe feeling. At night it was good to have the electronic key that you get in the beginning. You will not have any problems to enter the Hostel. Thanks so much to Gerti and Andy again - it was fantastic! I would highly recommend to go here!
Had a very frustrating stay here, the accomodation and setup for the hostel are great, beds are comfortable and linen is provided. The issue I guess was for the people in our specific room and area. The room we stayed in was very bad smelling and few were quiet after the designated time. The bathroom was very dirty with hair everywhere. Maybe we just got unlucky, but probably wouldn't stay here again. Your milage may vary as there are some gleaming reviews of the place.
I stayed for 2 nights. Lovely comfortable beds, very warm throughout, radiators ! Very clean and spacious. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lots attention to detail - a well run business. Lovely enclosed gardens away from the busy city. Would stay again.
