Queenstown hostels

Pros: Beds were excellent very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Very clean

Cons: Needs more hooks in the showers to hang up stuff

Pros: Great budget stay, we stayed in the double pods and they were great. Good location too.

Pros: The bed is quite comfortable and the location is very convenient.

Cons: The staff was not really available all the time. I went to the reception during their office hour for asking hair dryer, luggage storage but none of one time I could find anybody at the reception, so in the end I sorted it out by myself. And the girl who helped me to check in was quite cold and distant. Also they said the breakfast will be ready from 7:30am to 9am but when I went to the kitchen at around 8 to 8:30am, didn’t see any breakfast was available. Then I saw a staff came in start making breakfast but by that time I needed to leave for my tour already. Last but not least, I saw they changing duvet covers on the floor, so I felt the bed were actually not very clean...

Cons: The buzzer at the front desk needs a short press - not a long press ( otherwise it doesn't work).

Pros: Friendly staff and atmosphere. Lovely addition of free waffles and soup. Very thoughtfully run hostel with very comfy and quiet dorms. Would stay again.

Cons: Shower temperatures were very extreme!

Cons: Needs more showers

Pros: The location was perfect. Close to the city centre. There are grocery stores nearby.

Cons: Some people did not seem to respect other people who are trying to sleep in the dormitory room and kept talking and making noises.

Pros: Really cosy hostel! I loved it! I had a bunkbed in an 8 bed dorm and it was really nice, because we had a seperate bathroom! You can close your bed with a curtain and there is plenty of space under the beds for luggage. Kitchens and chillout areas are also very comfortable and nice and the staff is very friendly I would definitely stay here again!

Cons: Nothing to improve (at least I found nothing)

Pros: Quite and friendly atmosphere. nice staffs(Lucy). Fast wifi. Moderate temperature in the room.

Cons: it is not located in the exact city centre as written. And shower facilities are bad. Water pressure was too weak. Also the bed mattress was so so uncomfortable that i couldn‘t sleep very well. Plus, it was uncomfortable that i had to sign in every time i want to get wifi.

Pros: Loved the cozy atmosphere and the two-kitchen setup. Plenty of food storage spaces. Nice lounges. Ivan was a great staff worker. Very comfortable wooden-pod style rooms. I stayed upstairs and the downstairs kitchen and lounges are blocked off with a door which shut up a LOT of noise.

Cons: Parking was limited but there's plenty of available street parking.

Pros: Great facilities!

Pros: Awesome Place. You have more the feeling of a big family house than a hostel. It is clean and you have enough space for your backpack in the room and also for your food in one of the kitchen.

Pros: Good location and vary clean

Cons: No

Pros: Great design of the bedroom, providing some privacy in the dormitory. Nice and clean shared facilities. Comfy lounge.

Cons: I was the first one waiting in the queue to check in. However,the receptionist(the Spanish speaker I guess) checked a big group of people in one by one before me. Having been stayed several times. This is the most unpleasant experience.

Pros: It is in a great location for sleeping in Queenstown. If you are here to do the multiple activities, hikes, just walk the town. Common areas, kitchen and baths were good and clean.

Cons: The rooms are literally only for sleeping. They are as compact and small as a train berth or old overseas steamship sleeping quarters. If 2 people are trying to get to their things/pack/just get ready for sleep in the 6 bed dorm you will be in each other's way! Super tight with no space other than to kick your legs up into the bed pull the privacy curtain shut and sleep.

Pros: The beds were super comfortable, and had curtains for privacy. Really close walking distance to the centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were very clean

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: I had an great week staying here. Staff were always friendly and helpful as were the fellow guests. Lovely comfortable dorm and bed with curtain for privacy. Super large locker. Great common area and kitchens. Chilled out hostel which suited me perfectly rather than a party hostel.

Pros: Staff there were fantastic. Great location & has a very chilled vibe.

Pros: Best hostel out there hands down Everything

Pros: Female dorm rooms were lovely with their own private bathrooms. Staff were always cleaning and the location is great. The hostel overall feels quite modern.

Cons: The kitchen was too small for the size of the hostel, and plenty of the hobs didnt work so you often had to wait to cook.

Pros: middle of city centre

Cons: No T.v ( not.working after several phone calls one guy came up one nihht couldn't get it sorted and said he would be back.Second after complaining again by phone someone else came up and said couldn't do anything 2 elderly ladies staying I thought the service was poor and bedside lamp not working.

Pros: The female shared room was really good, we had our own bathroom inside the dorm. It has lockers and bed are comfy. Really good location

Cons: The staff wasn’t really helpulf. Getting some wifi there was really difficult and i really need it to plan my trip, so if you’re looking for a place with good connection i wouldn’t stay there

Pros: Best location! close to everything! The room were big and the bed comfortable! nice common areas, despite the kitchen was a little bit messy... we enjoyed our stay there!

Cons: Price changed every night. Bathroom was small and smelly. Kitchen door was very difficult to slide open.

Cons: Made wait for 30 minutes to check in at 5.30pm as all receptionists on a break at the same time

Pros: Wifi never worked and very pricey

Pros: Great staff and well organized

Cons: Up a hill

Pros: Friendly staff, clean toilet, great location very close to the CBD

Cons: The room was very smelly, my upper bed was very noisy as well

Pros: Big room with 10 beds in it, didn't feel too crowded. Beds have full length curtains, own light and a socket so you can charge your devices without fighting for a socket with 9 other people ;) Not too far from town centre.

Cons: I didn't like that all the facilities are outside of the room (kitchen, bathrooms). E.g. the entrance to the rooms and the bathroom is like in a motel from an outdoor balcony meaning if it rains or if it's cold you have to effectively dress up just to go to the bathroom and not freeze on the way. And to open the bathroom door you also need a key (annoying and unecessary in my opinion).

Pros: Did not have Breakfest

Cons: When l booked l thought we had a bathroom, How flights were Canceled so we missed a day in Queenstown. As soon as l new the flights were Canceled l e-mailed the BASE and said we would not be there. When we arrived on the thursday just before lunch we went to book in or leave our bags until we could book in,l explained the situation and they said we can put the bags up in our room so we got the code and when up to find the room had been used and had not been cleaned, went back down stair and told them the situation and told them that l wasn't paying for the room if they had booked it when we never arrived was told you will have to talk to Sami l think it was. We left our bags there and went for a walk and was told the room would be read in half an hour. We went on a lake cruise and had some food and a drink and went back,we got the code for the room and went up the code never worked so went down someone come up and opened the door. The room had not been clean. Most people by now would be outraged. We were told to come back in 25 min. We got back (some routine) up to the room couldn't open the door back down new code didn't work, l think at the end we got the cleaners code and we were in about 5.30 at this stage. When the was no Bathroom that was it for my Partner I got an e-mail address of one of the girl there, she said to talk to this person, unfortunatley lost it on our travel home. Im not sure if this e-mail will get to the right person or maybe you can pass it on to the right person. All l really want is my money back for the the Wednesday night and leave it at that. Maybe it may raise some issues to be fixed. Sent from Geoff Moore. e-mail geoffmoore4@xtra.co.nz be great to hear back. Cheers.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Very noisy. Terrible beds.

Pros: The price.

Cons: Showers way to hot or even impossible to use and they cannot be regulated.

Pros: It was clean. Basic. Lots of sinks to wash dishes, with soap! Breakfast included: bread, jam, dry cereal, milk. NO tea/coffee :(

Cons: Rude staff at front desk. Not helpful at all during checkin due to cue. Unwilling to answer questions. 7 digit code to your room, on a keypad that is half broken! It’s hard to open to say the least. Staff has a short code to bypass and open with ease if you ask for help. They will not share the shorter code. RUDE. My least favorite hostel out of the dozen we stayed in. Didn’t book with “base” again.

Pros: Perfect location.

Cons: I just wish there were more plugs available.

Pros: Great location in central Queenstown. Cheap hostel with decent dorm rooms.

Cons: The staff are extremely “pushy” when it comes to selling extra activities, not really showing much respect if you don’t respond to this. For example, I wanted to sort out an extension for my stay, when the guy I started talking to pointed behind me (where no one was standing) and said he had another customer to attend to. Two minutes later he returns to the reception with 3 beers in hand. The kitchen is decent but very short on cutlery. Bring your own spoon to breakfast!

Pros: Staff. Location

Cons: Fantastic .clean and tidy. Friendly staff.
