It is a little far out . At least 20 min walk to city centers

The staff were super helpful, from helping me find a parking spot to recommending eateries

dorm rooms are spacious, with cabinets for locking up valuables, clothes hanging area, clean spacious ensuite bathroom

Parking is limited, otherwise you're parking across and up Hamilton Road.

Perfectly located to get around Queenstown. Did the Ben Lomond Peak Trail to the summit via the Tiki Trail which starts just down the road from the hostel (only hike I didn't have to drive to). Clean, with a common room more like someone's home than a hostel. Light, charging point and place for small items, plus small curtain, at the head of the bed is a nice touch.

It is really close to the CBD

Some long term rooms lack air conditioning and smell like old sweat.

Loved the multiple kitchens

The location, bed and cleanliness

Really enjoyed my stay in the Kiwi Backpackers, which was a 5 minute walk to the centre. Bunk beds comfortable, shared spaces clean with good facilities. Staff attentive, it was great to meet like minded people of all ages in the accomodation.

Shower heads were pretty unacceptable, otherwise good value for the money

The horrible mattress: do something!! Number of toilets/ showers compared to the number of guests The fridges uncleaned for too much time

The staff, the location, the vibes, the number of kitchens, space enough in the small dorm

The staff were super friendly, helpful and good at cleaning. The hostel offered activities on an evening, we joined in with the outdoor yoga which was a great experience overlooking the mountains. The hostel had 3 kitchens and plenty of fridge and food storage. The location was a short walk from the centre of Queenstown.

Seriously? Nothing!

Bunk/cabin beds were comfortable with individual charging points and a lamp, plus a curtain for added privacy. The staff were lovely (thanks to Amelia for your advice), plus free yoga with the lovely Sophie! Kitchen was spotless and well-equipped. The vibe was chilled and friendly, and the hostel is located with a short walk into town, and there is the Ramon-factor! Loved my two nights there.

There are very few toilets/showers, which means you might need to wait for over an hour to use it while controlling who is in an out

I think the price could have been lower for what it was, but otherwise I enjoyed my stay.

The bathrooms and kitchens were super clean because the long-term stayers clean them daily, which is much appreciated. Everyone cleans up after themselves and there is a nice atmosphere. I really like that everyone got a big locker under their bed. There were some free activities too Location is great - 10 min from the centre of town/beach and 3 min from a supermarket.

They do have a couple parking spots but only like 4 so parking can be a bit tricky.

It has an amazing location with only a couple minutes walk into the town centre. Beds are quite comfortable and have little curtains. The showers are clean although the water pressure could be better.

Amazing people!

Thank goodness I had help with the stairs as my bag was a bit unmanageable.

Not sure if it was done on purpose but enjoyed the fact that the people I shared with were older travellers like me. Location was great and facilities were kept clean. My request for a lower bunk was honoured; very grateful.

The main inconvenience was the wait for the bathroom. On our floor there was one bathroom and it was almost always in use. There was one other bathroom and extra toilet on the groundfloor, but that does not seem enough in my eyes for a fully booked hostel with several dorm rooms and a few privates. Queenstown is a pricy destination, but for 90 EUR a night I expected not having to wait for the bathroom that much. Afterwards we stayed in Te Anau and got much more bang for much less buck, including a room which shared the bathroom with only one other private. The wifi worked, but requested a sign in every time.

There were a lot of positives, from the friendly check-in with swan towels on the bed to the nice private room with balcony.

great value for a short stay.

Fridges and freezers needed to be cleaned out more often, freezer downstairs no longer works and not sure how long it's been like that but I opened it and it stunk so bad from the rotten food in it. Also wish the curtains went all the way to the end of the bed but it did the trick.

Beds, storage and rooms were great! Staff were excellent! It is the perfect walking distance into town and to everything Queenstown, I enjoyed my stay!

Limited number of bathrooms/showers and best to do laundry at the laundromat down the road.

Super friendly and clean hostel. Lots of things going on but easy to find a spot to chill too. The beds have mini privacy curtains on them that are about 1/3 of the bed so you get a bit of personal space. Little reading light and 2 outlets. Good sized under bed luggage lockers.
