Basic dorm accommodation but comfortable enough and great communal facilities. Add in a spectacular setting and friendly staff and there really is nothing to grumble about here!
Good studio room for two people with all the needed amenities inside except the shared bathroom part which was outside the room premises in the main building which was a bit inconvenient. Great location nearby to Queenstown center. Overall good value was money!
Great location, just a few minutes' walk to the central shopping area and waterfront. Very friendly and helpful staff who did a good job of cleaning the property. Unfortunately, many of the guests did NOT clean up after themselves around the kitchens and showers.

Not much onsite parking, good location for the price. Lots of part time staff trading a few hours of work for a free bed. Tiny room.
I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room, which gave me good privacy and my own bathroom. I was able to use the shared kitchen to microwave food, though it can get quite busy and crowded at times. The location is very convenient, within walking distance of the town center and Queenstown’s main attractions.
The staff were so nice! Really great place to stay on a budget too. Very nice location- you can walk right down to shops, hikes, and other fun activities. LOVED it! Would definitely book again :)
Staff was friendly. Location fine. Unfortunately so noisy from other guests speaking loudly could not sleep until after 3am. Had an early am flight and regretted not staying in a quieter setting. Seems like a very popular place and was totally booked up. So might be calmer on the off season.
Nice hotel, staff very friendly, room was clean, plenty of shared areas, easily walkable
Only noticed it could use a couple more bathrooms/showers, but with as busy as the hotel was, we had to shower it was never more than a 5 minute wait.
Definitely would stay here again! Loved it.
Booked a Cabin which was clean and comfortable.
Property short walk to town and also close to Fresh Choice Supermarket. Its a Back Packer so a few semi permanents
but plenty of Kitchens and share bathrooms.

The property is in an amazing location. The wifi isn't great, a bit slow. Was noisy at night when we were there.
The place looks like a giant student house. Friendly staff. The rooms are quite packed since we were 8 in one single room. Many bathrooms and toilets though. A big living room with sofas to hang over during the evenings. Large kitchen full of facilities. Everything clean. The parking lot is super small, but there are options for free parking around, knowing that Queenstown is not parking-friendly.
