Queenstown Hostels

Pros: Great location & price.

Cons: Little bit small twin room - also need towel rail. Banging of doors by noisy guests - pretty relentless.

Pros: The rooms were brand new with gorgeous plush carpeting. Very clean and modern. Each bed has its own power plugs, USB plugs, and reading light. Comfortable beds. Towels available. Friendly reception staff. FANTASTIC location right by Lake Wakatipu, a 10-minute walk from Queenstown Centre. Overall a marvelous experience at one of YHA’s best.

Pros: Clean, good location, helpful staff, good facilities

Cons: Room a little compact for my liking but functional.

Pros: The bathroom was large and the hair dryers were provided. Sometimes there were free toasts and milk in the fridge.

Cons: Suggest that the bathroom provide baskets for cloths.

Pros: The room partner

Cons: The other room partner was snoring

Pros: Comfortable, clean room, with amazing facilities. Kitchen is well equipped and location is near, yet far from the hustle of Central town.

Pros: I needed a stopover and had been there in the past and liked it. Good price, amenities, comfortable , clean and a view to die for. I liked that it wasn’t in towni

Cons: I don’t know

Pros: Very clean and comfortable

Pros: Balcony was good, also fab waffles. Free parking was handy and convenient for location!

Cons: How often staff members came in and out the room for various cleaning duties. Cleaning was excellent however, if all the cleaning was done around the same time it would have been less disruptive.

Pros: Comfy beds

Cons: Lovely staff!

Pros: Pods are awesome and very cosy Waffles are YUM Soup was great Free laundry detergent! Clean kitchen and bathrooms

Cons: Not a lot of bathrooms Pods could get a bit warm and were creaky

Pros: Waffles were amazing and the bed was Super Comfortable! Super nice staff, really cool spot!

Pros: We loved the extra free things, like soup in the evening and waffles in the morning. The pods were really private and the staff were really on to it.

Pros: This hostel is sweet as! A great location in Queenstown, and a comfortable place to stay. The pods give you your own space even in a shared environment, with a light and charging ports inside. Sir Cedric's has free waffles for breakfast, free popcorn, free hot chocolate and coffee, free soup at 6pm, and free towels. It's just a shame the accommodation isn't free too ;) The staff here are part-time workers and full-time legends. Holleh knows everything about anything in NZ, she's basically like a human Siri. Finn has great chat, just not-so-great Jenga skills. Holly has a small, fluffy dog, and if this doesn't tick your boxes then you should really re-evaluate your life's desires. And Anna! One morning the waffle mix ran out and she asked if I'd like her to make some more, not wanting her to go out of the way I said "no, I'm fine", but she knew that deep down I wasn't fine, and made me some anyway. 10/10 #SponsorAnnaForPermanentResidency I'd buy the team a bottle of wine but I spent all my money on expensive NZ fuel :( I will be back here for sure!

Cons: The part where I had to leave.

Pros: This hostel is awesome! Amazing location right in the centre of town. The double pod beds are really cozy and comfy. The breakfast was also amazing - waffles!

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Perfect hostel. Clean, friendly staff and superb localization. I love it!

Cons: Maybe just the policy of No Drinks after 10pm... but I can imagine the reason for this, heheh

Pros: Everything! Absolutely everything. Firstly, brilliant location; five minutes to everything. Secondly, the extras. Delicious unlimited waffles for breakfast, free soup and bread at 6pm. Free washing powder and the cheapest wash I have experience in NZ. Thirdly, fabulous staff, lovely guests, amazingly comfortable beds in gorgeous little pods. Private plugs with added USB charging. The ONLY hostel to stay in whilst in Queenstown ...and at one point there was a dog (to add to the perfection)

Cons: That I had to leave...

Pros: location was awesome, staff were great, communal kitchen was very well stocked.

Cons: Didn't like the fact that we'd booked a room with a double bed, set of bunks and ensuite bathroom and ended up with a room with two sets of bunks and had to use the communal bathroom for apparently the same price?????? Also thought the charges for using the laundry we're ridiculous considering the amount to stay in the hostel in the first place.

Pros: Top location, in the heart of Queenstown, easy to stroll around and explore.

Cons: Some inconsiderate residents were a bit noisy in the middle of the night banging the door repeatedly and talking quite loud.

Pros: Bare amenities. Perfect for groups and couple. Budget friendly. Serves the purpose very well.

Pros: Location was ideal for travelling with a Real journeys group

Pros: Location is the best and staffs were friendly. In fact, I found most people there in south island were friendly.

Cons: I wish the electric kettle can be replaced for a new model and the rest of the room can be refurbished as the bathroom but for the money, can't complain.

Pros: The kitchen has fully equipment, big and clean every night. Nice staffs. The location is really good, just in the center, and can see the riverside in the kitchen.

Cons: No place for park, free parking needs to walk around 15 mins and the room is too small for 4 people

Pros: The cleanliness and price

Cons: An extra pillow

Pros: Bed and pillows super comfy. Great location. Beautiful clean warm room. Loved the wild goats on our porch when we arrived! So cute!

Cons: Appeared to be no recycling bin lol. A strong smell from the bathroom drains occasionally.

Pros: Staff were friendly at reception.

Cons: The room smelt funky and cleanliness was not good. The heaters in the rooms were falling off the walls and the kids room window didn't lock properly. Extremely noisy from neighbours and the TV kept going off every few minutes. Bed was pretty uncomfortable for my husband and I and we had a very lousy sleep. Was not an enjoyable stay for the night.

Pros: Location is excellent, just a short easy 7 min walk to town! Very helpful reception with great tips, quiet bedrooms and clean shared kitchen!

Pros: Room has lots of storage space

Cons: Overall was very good, price exceeds my expectation

Cons: The Chinese waiter has a bad attitude and does not want to translate to us. If so, there is no need for the hotel to hire such a person.

Pros: Warm. Hot shower.

Cons: The air flow was not good and the PowerPoints are too less in the room. I have sit in the lounge to wait for the mobile phone charging.

Pros: Stayed in the self contained units. These were modern and super comfortable. Just what we needed for a four day break! Easy walk to town. Highly recommend.

Pros: Loooooved the spa! Such a bonus! Also great location, bikes were brilliant, long termers super friendly and welcoming & staff were nice.

Cons: It was a bit noisy at night time around the dorms area, people walking and possibly slamming doors? Not to much the hostels fault though.

Pros: The staff were amazing and friendly, the common area was comfortable and big, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean ! Enough parking !

Cons: The beds weren’t very comfortable neither were pillows, but that is such a easy fix and with all other things being so amazing it didn’t bother me to much

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

Cons: Some facilities were not enough. There was a very much reduced amount of showers and the kitchen was definitely not big enough. Fridges were packed, the seats were limited and there was one oven for the whole hostel, can you imagine?

Pros: Friendly staff. Great facilities. Lot of freebies.

Pros: Awesome place, needs an iron and ironing board but otherwise perfect

Cons: All good

Cons: My room was next to the washroom, every day and night , we heard noises of people showering , flushing toilet and open and close toilet door. Annoying

Pros: The location are very close and accessible for everything

Cons: Beds on the lower level are not comfortable and doors are noisy.

Cons: Not enough space for food in the fridges.

Pros: Every bed have a light and charger The hostel it's very clean Very close to the town center

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location is good.

Cons: the kitchen is too simple.

Pros: The location

Cons: The room was stuffy without propper ventilation or any windows, the shower wasn't very clean and there was constant noise at night. Whilst trying to sleep we could hear the music going until 2am from the hostel bar and the other guest had no consideration for other guests as they were yelling and making noise in the hallway at all hours of the night.

Pros: Location Staff

Cons: Laundry machines were broken Little floor space High amount of permeant stay guests made a mess

Pros: The beds were comfy and the toom was quite clean. There is storage for your clothes too. The base is central to everything!! I was able to walk everywhere and if there were any activities which required travelling a coach is usually included in the fees eg. Skiing at cardrona, milford cruise, shotover canyon swing, fox and jet provide transport to and from the hotel so it worked out perfect!

Cons: Downfall is there were no towels at all. My roomies were using their bedsheets as towels

Pros: Great to be able to go down and have a coffee. The location is perfect. The staff very helpful and friendly

Cons: With three of us the towels could have been renewed Vacuuming in the hallway a bit too early in the morning

Pros: everything was ok, but it wasnt very clean

Cons: very loud and not enough power point per room

Pros: Location was great

Cons: Windows to be fixed, not possible to close them

Pros: Great location right in town walking distance to everything! Decent kitchen size for everyone! If your in town for a few days and want to party then it’s good. There is a bar downstairs and can be loud all night so ideal if your just there to party.

Cons: Bathrooms in rooms were really damp and mouldy! There is no fan or window so no ventilation in the bathrooms which made it always smell really bad! Had 2 bookings and was going to have to swap rooms which was fine but was a huge pain when I went to checkout at 6am they had managed to keep me in my room without telling me. A quick knock on the door or email would have been nice as I had to pack all my stuff up and take my sheets down then to be told I could have stayed in the same room was a little frustrating. If you want somewhere not busy or loud don’t stay here. I knew it would be but it is the cheapest place in town that was my only reason staying at this one. WiFi was so bad didn’t reach my room either! Everyone in my room went to reception to ask and each person got told different things. the WiFi only works on ground floor and 1st floor. Any rooms on 2nd floor didn’t work. Laundry wasn’t available and said it would be only a day to fix I stayed for 6 days and still wasn’t able to use and the alternative was there sister hostel which was $8 for a wash and dry!

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons: It's a great place if you are ready to party all night long. I was not able to sleep till the bar closed around 2:30am, the music was to loud, and people coming in and out. I was in a female dormitory and around 2am a guy enter to the room alone, told him I thought the was in the wrong room. He told me that from reception they sent him there. With the new system that you need a code to get in I guess he was not lying.

Pros: -That we had individual lockers in our rooms. -Could book activities through use. -Location is within walking distance for shopping, restaurants/bars,
