Reviews
"Nice, simple and warm place which feels homey. The sauna is cute and probably when the hot tub is working it’s perfect."
"CAUTION - Extra charges will apply because hostel manager is not clear in her instructions. Hostel is in a good location, great vibe with the added kitty. Other guests are great. However, beware of hostel manager who is everything BUT clear with her after-hours instructions We were charged 30$ extra for using showers that we were 'not supposed to use'. I wonder if she charges extra to those who leave the kitchen dirty after cooking? Wanted to leave luggage in her storage room and would have done so had she not arrived and rudely told us she would close the storage room at 2.00 instead of 4.00 PM like it is written on the door of said storage room. A shame that a great trip to Christchurch ended on such a note"
"Best hostel in Christchurch. Feels really welcoming, loads of grass patches in the hostel area and the hot tub + sauna really makes it perfect. Bus stop it just across the street and a good bar (Bridie’s) a 1min walk away. Worth the money and 100% recommended!"
"This Is an old reputed hostel, but now it seems if owners not taking Intrest. This property is now on sale as published on the sign board exhibited outside. Rates for dormitories are higher as compared to other Christchurch city hostels. Location is not good. Far from city centre and not approachable on foot from Bus exchange or city centre. No shopping mall is near by. Kitchen is very small and not up-to mark. Rooms are also dark and look unhygienic. Toilets are also outnumbered than capacity, old fashioned and have issues. Not recommended from my side."
"For my long experience living like a backpacker in Christchurch, this is the best hostel in town, very comfortable beds, very clean and tidy, super quiet, beautiful gardens, nearly to everything, if you have bicycle is perfect! 5 min to town, 10 min to my job, 20 min to the beach. 100% recommended."
