Queenstown stopover

It was convenient to have a seperate cabin, but the bathrooms were a bit few. typicaly peopledon not understand the oncept of mopping the floor in the wet floor bathroom after thay have used it, so it was frequently wet.

It was a warm welkom and I stayed for a week, they put longstay together, so i got to know my roommates and they were very nice. I really enjoyed my week there. In the evening there were activities like bingonight, movienight, gamingchallenge etc. I had lucky with a free parkingplace but there are not many spots so that’s the only minor…

Fun for backpackers

Really well located for the town centre. A 5-10 minute walk. Limited parking with street parking available. The room a compact cabin outside the main house. Comfortable bed. With a double and a single bunk up a vertical ladder. No air conditioning but windows provided adequate ventilation. The washroom is in the main block. So for the cabins facilities are outside but inside through a combination/ swipe card door. The bathroom of which could be found on all floors. So waiting wasn’t an issue generally. The atmosphere in the house is excellent. Young friendly group of travellers very active socially and welcoming made for a positive atmosphere. Unfortunately I am too old at 65 to be so active. Sleeping and security proved to be effective. For the cost convenience atmosphere and security you can’t go wrong. If I was 25-35 it’s perfect.

6/10 Good

Quality of bathrooms was amazing, seemingly newly renovated. But bedroom distinctly smelt like mold and sweat so we had to deal with either the pungent smell or moths and mosquitoes. Bedroom lock was also broken, had to climb through the window one night as keys were not working. Daily kitchen and bathroom cleans happen every morning, which is great but it’s at an inconvenient time of 8am when you’d want to shower and use the kitchen before heading out.

The room smell of bleach so strong it sting your eyes. First night, the upper of the bunk bed where my friend sleeping fell into my head while in deep sleep. Bruises on my head and ear. $20 worth of our food went missing. The reception Emilia reassure to find it but when she saw us didn’t say a thing. I guess the location is accessible to shop the only thing we like.

Decent room and beds, clean, friendly staff, and a fair price. Ramon the dog was extremely cute and an effective security pupper. I was sad not to have met the local kitty cats I was advised of, but you can't have everything :-)

Good stay here. Booked private room - was a seperate building outside with short walk into main building for bathroom and kitchen. All pretty clean - room was a bit heavy with smell or air freshener. Parking is tight but generally available. Easy walk into Queenstown (~15 min) for main sites/attractions in town.
