My family had a great stay at the Duke Hostel. The location is convenient, and the common area is spacious with good Wi-Fi. They have a ping-pong table and pool for entertainment. The friendly staff made our Christmas special with a surprise cake. The hostel is clean.

Lovely old time hostel form a converted hotel. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy. Only issue was heater being wall mounted with a timer which would click off every 30 minutes. Not ideal on a very cold night.

This is a great place to stay close to everything. The rooms are so clean and the the bed was comfy. The common areas are a bonus and kept so clean . The host is just amazing knows the area so well and can tell you all about different places you can go and visit. Thanks for a great stay . Would highly recommend to others.

10/10 Exceptional

A nice no-thrill hostel where the staff are super friendly and helpful. In NZ west coast, hostels are for travellers of all ages. So if you are concerned (like I did) about staying with a bunch of college, worry not. The shared bathroom is not that much a hassle. It's like staying at a friend's or relative's place. There is a sink inside each room. The walk from the train station is 10 min. Do bring your own soap, shampoo, and conditioner. For what they lack in toiletry, they make it up with a gigantic kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils...you ever need for a trip.
