Really cool place with lots of history and friendly staff. This has been an experience for life, and I will recommend this place to everyone that are going to New Zealand!
I was happy with my room but toilet facilities were challenging. Having to share just one toilet in the shower room with the men. Would be good to have another just for women downstairs.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
For a person on a budget that likes to meet people it was nice. Would recommend it for a convenient stay as it’s $4 on the #7 bus from town and if you are smart with the interchange that will get you to/from the airport

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A particularly cute place, great beds, shared and very clean toilets and showers. I enjoyed very much! One problem that is important to know is that there is no elevator! It was a little (a lot..) problematic to lift the suitcase... other than that, a great place!
