this hostel is the best hostel we stayed at in new zealand because it was very reasonably priced, perfect location right by info centre and drop off point for buses, atomic shuttles etc, walkable to all attractions and has a gorgeous view of the mountain range from the balcony. The hostel itself is spotlessly clean, rooms are spacious and have very comfy matresses, the kitchen is large and fully equipped, communal areas are spacious, showers are always clean and the staff are so helpful and friendly. It has a very chilled out, realaxed feel - not really a party hostel which i liked. Great place to recharge.
