Hostels in Otago, New Zealand

"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!"

"The location is close to a large park, the lake and town. Our room had a wonderful view. There is luggage storage for early checkins. We didn't use the kitchen, but it looked great. The staff is friendly and helpful."

"衞生情況好，很乾凈，很明亮寬敞的廚房。距離湖邊走路5分鐘。周邊商店齊全，有紅超。很美麗的小鎮，讓人身心愉悦。"

"Goede hostel. Bekwame prijs en goed uitgeruste voorzieningen. Ik zou hier blijven als ik Oamaru weer zou komen. Er is geen front desk. Dus de gasten moeten altijd weten dat PIN dat je binnen laat (ook hun kamer). Dus ik moest mijn mobiel brengen zelfs toen ik naar het toilet ging. Als ik m'n kamer PIN had vergeten, kon ik de deur van mijn kamer niet openen."

"Pod set up was good having own space, and lockers were a good size, but it was quite difficult to get into the top bunks. Wouldn't be easy if you had any accessibility issues, so request bottom one if this is the case. Kitchen was unable to use at time of visit which was a problem for us. Laundry easy to use and not expensive."

"路邊停車，9點前免費，夜間停車很友好 一個大斜坡，箱子拖上去還是有些辛苦 樓上樓下都有衞生間，這點很不錯 浴室在一樓，不分男女 洗衣房9點-16點，這點不太友好，我們晚入住，我就洗不了衣服，收費的哈 整個設施都比較完善 對了，拖鞋，沐浴露洗髮水都需要自備 新西蘭全部都沒有牙刷牙膏和拖鞋，也記得自備 傳單被套，走的時候需要自己拆下來，丟到一樓的洗衣房 整個環境設施都很友好，值得推薦"

"Good location in the middle of the city, bed was comfy enough, but lacks curtains, overall clean and good to meet people."

"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."

"Lovely hostel, ~10 min walk to the centre of the town and it’s a lot of fun because of the stunning view of the lake. I stayed in a 2-bunk bed room for 4 nights with a man… As a girl, I didn’t feel comfortable at all. The guys were fine but I think the hostel should consider same gender policy for this kind of room. Also found it very strange that staff doesn’t give towels when people check-in. They only give when you ask. I went all the way to my room to realise the towel isn’t on my bed and another tenant didn’t even know they provided towels."

"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."
