It was clean enough for Backpackers, and staff were kind. But there were many things in the fridge. So I couldn’t use it. And because of the neighbors (bar or restaurants), it was noisy until midnight. So I won’t recommend if you are sensitive to noise. Anyway It was good for me.

I was impressed with how clean quiet and high tech this hostel was. I was even able to rent a towel and do many things from the app they use for all guests. It is right in the middle of everything. Great location. Staffed 24/7 made me feel safer than the ones who don't have someone watching the door at night. Would love to return to this one someday!

For a backpacker hotel, it was brilliant . I had one night during NY , so this was all I could get. I asked for a Female only room and they catered for this perfectly. Secure, Private and with its own bathroom. It was a few days after NY, so it was VERY NOISY at night, but what can you expect ..it right in the heart of Queenstown

Very loud at night cannot sleep w bars parties. Price you pay for location. They do mention that it gets loud, so no surprises, but it is extremely loud and until early hours in the morning.
