YHA Rotorua - Treks 1278 Haupapa Street, Rotorua Tel (07) 349 4088 Website www.treks.co.nz BUG review Treks is a purpose-built hostel that offers a very high standard of accommodation. The exterior is a reddish-brown corrugated metal, and the interior common spaces are airy, open and very clean. A big spacious lounge features nice leather couches and beanbags. There’s a large kitchen and cafeteria-like dining area, as well as an outdoor deck with a barbecue. Rooms feature clean, made-up single beds – no bunks. Treks is right across the street from Kuirai Park, full of free-to-visit geothermal pools. Heaps of off-street parking is available in a separate lot. Treks is not dripping with atmosphere, but it’s about as crisp and clean of a hostel as you’ll find in Rotorua.

paul1   Colchester, UK   15 reviews       Modern, well located large hostel 9 July 2007 Pros: Good location, new clean building Cons: Limited parking on-site      paul1 saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (4) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (4) (Review ID: 5580) We stayed here dec 06. It is a large new building so is still very clean and modern. You can walk from it to all the main areas of Rotorua. Would recomend the Pig and Whistle pub near by, great food and beer. We stayed in a double on-suite room. On the slight down side parking on site was limited and the rooms were very basic but overall a nice place to stay.   6 of 7 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   andy21385   Mt Maunganui, NZ   2 reviews       Better than my house! 18 March 2007 Pros: Awesome hostel Cons: Seemed a bit quiet      andy21385 saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (3) (Review ID: 1341) This hostel was outstanding. Brand new, most comfotable bed ever, the bedrooms are in a seperate building from the TV room and kitchen etc - genius! It was quite quiet though and seemed to attract the older traveller. It's very new though I couldn't find it in any books or guides - I just happened to drive past it, and it almost took my breath away, looks more like a hotel than a backpackers! I felt spoilt! (Especially after staying at Crash Palace the previous night) Stay here! It's awesome! In my top 5 hostels I've stayed in around the world.   2 of 8 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   Hookey   6 reviews       How hostels should be 28 January 2007 Pros: Spotless and well designed to keep it that way Cons: That I didn't find it sooner      Hookey saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (4) (Review ID: 1173) A really nice place, with nice dorm rooms that don't use bunk beds. A huge kitchen, internet and tv lounge, which are all comfortable and clean, and really friendly and helpful staff. Internet access was a bit wonky, and not that cheap, but there are plenty of places nearby if you want cheaper. Definitely recommended.   0 of 5 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   thezebra   Malaysia   1 review       The best NZ hostel we stayed in 19 December 2006 Pros: Super helpful staff, lovely beds, kickass facilities Cons: Location      thezebra saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (4) (Review ID: 1034) Awesome place! I nearly cried with happiness when I saw the beds. No bunk beds, hooray!!! Lovely, clean showers with a HAIRDRYER for the girls (not sure what the guys got though, ha ha). Great movie collection, MASSIVE kitchen/dining area, even a little library as well. The only bad experience was waking up to screaming kids from a nearby kindergarten or summat. So try to get a room FAR FAR away from that. Other than that, this hostel is ROCKIN'!   6 of 12 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   sunflower   UK   2 reviews       Modern, Clean hostel with friendly staff 12 September 2006 Pros: Good communal facillities; kitchen, bathrooms, TV room Cons: Bit of a walk from local supermarket      sunflower saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (3) (Review ID: 819) Modern, Clean hostel with friendly and helpful staff.

Reception guy n girl were great 28 November 2005 Pros: Really helpful and friendly and everything new great showers Cons: A little out of town. Need better in room curtains!      somaximus saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (4) Facilities    (4) Atmosphere    (4) (Review ID: 11) Really impressed. At the end of downtown, but not far and makes it quieter as well. The guy at reception was great as was the normal girl, really friendly and helpful. Rooms a fair size, and no bunks so its all good. Vertilation not great and blind was kinds strange for a new hostel. Black out curtain would be much better. Sorted out my trips easily and were helpful with the advice on whats hot and whats not. Good TV lounge. Great kitchen. Lots of internet machines, although no messenger.   15 of 15 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?
