Right from the beginning of the booking, it was easy. Then when we arrived we had the lovely Eve step us through anything and everything, she made our stay super. I would recommend the YHA hostel to anyone looking for cheap accommodation in the heart of Queenstown with great facilities. Thanks YHA 😍

2/10 Poor

No free parking. Spent $48 on man street parking. No towel, no bath soap and shampoo and terrible bed. I thought i save money cause the hotel is only $140 but after i paid parking fees of $48 it’s way dearer. ☹️☹️☹️

We got an en-suite room and it was bigger than some hotel rooms. Very warm, big bed and good tv. Walkable distance from town. A+

My friends and I had a great stay here. We booked the room for 4 person and to our surprise it has its own balcony 😲 Sad that we were only able to book it for a night. Would definitely stay here again.

Convenient, Clean, Simple
On our entire trip, Queenstown was the one place that felt touristy. It's a backpackers haven, with a condensed town filled with food, activities, and people. As such, a great option for lodging is the YHA Queenstown Central, party of the YHA New Zealand group. They offer perks for worldwide members, so be sure to ask. This facility is nicer than a typical hostel, with private room and private bathroom options. Once you get past the checkin desk and sparse lobby, it feels like a hotel. Our room was clean, and even had a view of the lake. The restroom was spacious and very modern. There isn't much in the way of amenities here, it's just a cheap, safe, and clean place to stay. They do not have elevators, so be ready to carry your luggage. We had some issues with noise as our room was below the common kitchen area, which despite being closed, was cleaned early morning. More than anything, this place is convenient to everything worth doing in town. For people venturing outside of the town, Uber is the easiest bet. There airport shuttles to/from the Frankton Airport just a 15 minute drive down the road. The Skyline is also just a quick walk away. We'd stay here again!

The staff were very friendly. Met some amazing people at my dorm. I did have a small hiccup in which I forgot the door code and called the emergency number but no one was picking up and ended up freezing outside for 2 hours. But overall, I would highly recommend travellers and students coming here again. Really good location to everywhere!

The YHA was in an excellent central location but we were on the first floor, closest to the side streets and waterfront and so it was a very noisy room. Thanks for the complimentary ear plugs!

Friendly and helpful staff
Staff is friendly and helpful. The common room view is spectacular. The bed, however, is time to change (become too soft in the middle) and there is no free locker provided inside the room.

There for the half marathon wanted budget accommodation close to the centre of town. Very happy with our choice it was only 4 minutes walk to where we needed to register and catch the bus to the start line.
