Annoyed with myself for thinking i got a black friday deal, when in fact it wasnt and it was advertised in USD instead oF fNZ. It was a non refundable one so we committed to it. The place is warm in summer, so on hot days you may have to rent a fan. Otherwise good.

Great place for a cheaper option. The doors were very noisy on the first night as they closed at each time someone went though but that would be the only downside of the property. Room was very clean and modern
Great value for money. Simple, unfussy accommodation - very clean and tidy. Amazing communal area and kitchen facilities

The accomodation was too noicy. We were on a King suite by the stairs. People are running up and down the stairs and the corridor. Rooms are not sound proof at all.
I don’t recommend this place for anybody who’s looking forward to sleepin on a vacation.

No frills
Very small room but comfortable. Very noisy when people were congregating in the courtyard or by the gate (which kept banging loudly all night when people came through, which wasn't much fun). Unpleasant smell came up from the shower after using. Free parking outside the hostel was very handy.
