It was clean and overall great for backpackers/a hostel experience. It had a nice large kitchen area as well as a living room, garden and yard. The bed was average.

The code they provided for the front door didn’t work so coming in and out of the hostel after hours was stressful. The kitchen area was quite dirty. Otherwise my room and the shared restrooms were clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I had a 2-person bedroom. No separate lights on the beds, only one light on the ceiling. No curtains on the bed for privacy. I only stayed one night but from what I saw: the kitchen is obviously not cleaned every day. The bin was overfull. The tables were full of stains from food residues. The place is good for its location and economical fares. But don't look for any luxury.

The front desk guy was cheerful, helpful and awesome. The main disappointment is the lack of sorting and effort put into recycling. As a tourist, I am trying to minimize my footprint and a hostel is in the position to be setting an example of that.

Good value

Great price, great location. Kitchen is not as clean as when this property was a YHA. It has lost some of its friendly vibe since then. When the other places cost twice as much, stay here.

Great check-in with very enthusiastic staff. Our room was fine, a little dated as you might expect in this type of property but clean and comfortable. There was a problem with drains on the first day, but this was quickly resolved - presumably a result of the property only recently reopening. The communal facilities were good with a great kitchen to use. The property is close to the centre of Te Anau where there are a number of good dining options if you want to eat out, and also a good supermarket.

街の中心部で、湖畔にも近く、便利です。そして、施設がびっくりするくらい清潔で、よくメンテナンスされています。綺麗だから宿泊者も綺麗に使うという良い循環が作られていました。そして、スタッフのhaymishは洗濯機の使い方をおしえてくれてたり、hospitality が高く、customer centric な対応がとても素晴らしかったです。
