Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

1. Good location, right in the center of town but very quiet. A 3-minute walk from the intercity bus and Queenstown station orbus (to Arrowtown, to the airport station). Just across the road. Near I-site, Internet celebrity burger shop, etc. 2. The hotel is clean and the kitchen is large. The beds are comfortable and adequate heating. 3. The price is very good

It's a 10-minute walk from town along the lake, very new and clean with good service and a friendly attitude. Check-in is after 2 PM. The kitchen is huge, and the common areas are fantastic. The only thing I think would make it perfect is if the toilet and shower were separate. Because if one person goes in to shower, the entire bathroom door is closed, and anyone who needs to use the toilet can't. Similarly, if someone is using the toilet, others can't shower.

Great location to base yourself for a few days of seeing Queenstown. (It really is that close.) Nice and friendly staff at check in and throughout. Most helpful. Ents included TV, books, games, couple of guitars, ocassional theme evenings. Couple of outdoor spaces. Bathrooms are fine although if fairly or more than fairly tall, the shower heads are surprisingly low down. I understand the difficulties with this given the time of year but a floor by floor deep clean is probably needed. Whilst I am no member of the fun police, having numerous notes across the place emphasising the need to keep noise down after 10pm, I can see why this might be a bit galling when the staff who live there alongside guests do not abide by this - especially when you have no idea who is a worker who is off duty. Might be impossible given temperatures, but it wasn't ideal to climb into my bunk in the pitch black (other than the light from my phone) and find a cat sleeping there (honestly!) I like a cat but if I hadn't had my phone lit, I would never have known and would have landed forcefully on it. I actually found it quite funny but a lot wouldn't. All hell could have broken loose if I had landed on it. (Amusingly and no joke, I was watching Don't F*** with Cats at the time and had paused it while I climbed in. Perhaps it was written...) Anyway, really nice spot and right for the price. Cheers!

Wooden house, walk up and sloppy, have to be light. There is no separate toilet, about two or three houses share a toilet plus a bathroom. The facilities in the house are cute and have a heart. Check in according to the password, it will be troublesome to miss the email. . Anyway, I was looking for a long time. The single bed is very narrow and foreign countries are the same.

It’s conveniently located within walking distance to the town center. The front desk staff are kind and friendly. The room is simple but has everything you need. There's a kitchen as well, so you can cook your own meals. Parking seems to be on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend securing a spot early.

This is my second stay here. Even though it's a hostel, it's very clean and quiet. Parking across the street is free, so you don't have to park inside the hotel. We booked a bunk bed for two, which was great value for money compared to a king room. Next time I visit New Zealand, I'll only play in Queenstown and Wanaka, and spend more days in Wanaka.

Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient. There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great. The showers are on the first floor, unisex. The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge. The facilities are generally quite complete. By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo. New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own. You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor. The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it.

Good room, love how there is the privacy in all of the beds with close curtain, love the closeliness and cozy of the guest lounge. Wish there is a charger place right inside the beds.

Very impressive and clean facilities. Didn't feel like a hostel. The huge kitchen was very well equipped with many microwaves, stove, etc. Even air-fryer ! Cutlery and cookware are top-notch and well-organized. The fridge has clear instructions. Free food from past guests were organized accordingly. Dining area and lounge area are like cafe setting ! The washing machine and drying machine are easy to use. Staff was very kind to assist as I inserted wrong coin into the wrong slot and was refunded the money. Highly recommended !!! New World supermarket is so conveniently next door. There's an open car park next to the park behind the hostel. Can park for free !

This accommodation is in the middle of the city, close to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront. I loved the Wi-Fi, rooftop kitchen and hangout area. Pod beds are generally comfortable and more spacious than I anticipated. Equipped with light, fan and power sources. This place is a great option for budget travelers.
