Adelphi Lodge 26 West End, Kaikoura Tel (03) 319 5141 Website www.adelphilodge.co.nz BUG review This hostel is right in the centre of town, next to the Adelphi Bar and Restaurant. It is in an old hotel with plenty of character. There is a huge TV lounge with log fire and pool table; a large fully-equipped kitchen; a spa pool and a rooftop garden with a barbecue, hammocks and great views. The dorms are spacious and comfortable. They have internet access, including Wi-Fi ($6 per hour); although it is slightly cheaper across the street at Global Gossip. It has a great central location and a good atmosphere. Reception staff are friendly and each night, they serve free vegetable soup.

Curi0usGe0rge   New Zealand   2 reviews       Fantastic staff, great location, very clean rooms 2 March 2007 Pros: Fantastic staff, great location, very clean rooms Cons: I have to give something - Funny coloured decor      Curi0usGe0rge saw things this way Maintenance    (3) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (3) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 1230) The staff at the Adelphi were absolutely fantastic - very friendly and always there to help. The room was exceptionally tidy. They even were giving away free soup at 6pm each night! Now that's kiwi hospitality for you! You couldn’t get a better location to town that the Adelphi. We had a selection of cafes/restaurants and the beach within 3 mins walk!   7 of 8 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   krystel   France   10 reviews       Quite correct 27 August 2006 Pros: good value for the price Cons: deco      krystel saw things this way Maintenance    (4) Cleanliness    (4) Facilities    (3) Atmosphere    (2) (Review ID: 776) I only stayed there one night. The kitchen is OK and so was the dorm I stayed in, but I saw another 6-bed dorm which needed some paint and could have been better maintained. The deco is a bit special. You need to get used to it.   10 of 18 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   Anonymous   USA       Fantastic 11 April 2004 Pros: n/a Cons: n/a      Anonymous saw things this way Maintenance    (5) Cleanliness    (5) Facilities    (5) Atmosphere    (5) (Review ID: 12152) I planned on staying for 1 night but ended up staying 4. Everything about the place was fantastic. Great staff, really cosy place, and you are made to feel at home. A lot of hostels in NZ are really commercial and stale, but Adelphi was heads above the rest. Free soup & bread at night, Big screen TV & huge video collection. But the staff are what make the place what it is. Thanks heaps. I'll be back   0 of 11 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?
