BUG Review
This is a dark, strange and dispiriting place right near the entrance to the Whakarewarewa thermal village. There’s more of a doss house feel here than an ordinary hostel, and the entire place feels neglected. It’s set around a small courtyard full of plants and little cacti. There’s a small balcony out front, internet access on a single PC and free bikes for guests to use. But the only possible reason to stay here would have to be the price, or if everywhere else in town was full.

This hostel quite clearly discriminates against Canadians and people of Asian descent by unjustly banning them from residence during the SARS scare.
