Pros: Staff was very good. Location was good.
Cons: Based on the description we had assumed this was a "higher end" accommodation. However, it is really a "Hostel" - probably quite good as a hostel but not as a medium level hotel. We checked out the next morning and booked into a much better hotel near the airport at a slightly lower price.
4,6 Okay
Pros: Location was great it’s nice that you can close the curtains for any individual bed
Cons: The stuff was unfriendly came in to clean the room before checkout and made us feel very uncomfortable beds are noisy they didn’t decided whether they want to be a capsule hotel of a regular one

Pros: The room was big considering in city area, great location. So near to Ferburger and Fergbaker! The bathroom was spacious and sparkling clean.
Cons: There could have been a temporary parking in front of the hostel to load/unload luggage rather than parking at the multi storey car park to walk all the way to the hostel with the luggage. You have to close the window as you can hear noises from the street but it was tolerable for us.
4,0 Okay
Pros: good location and it looked nice from outside
Cons: I am trying to be fair so I am giving this place 4 out of 10. This place had a rating of 8.6 when I booked so I was really encouraged. However, I was highly disappointed. I don't need to go through everything bad there, but I can say this, I have travelled to tens of countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels/motels/apartments and even hostels, it was the first time for me where I had to check out after a couple of hours of checking in.

Pros: Staff was very friendly. Location is also perfect. The view of the kitchen is nice as well.
Cons: In general, this hostel is not as good as other yha hostels imo. Everything is rather old. The room I was in was quite dark, due to the window facing a wall. It also didn't smell good. Beds seemed a little bit too short.

Pros: Location is excellent, walking distance to Four Square supermarket, Gondolas ride, Queenstown Hill Walking Track, Intercity Bus stop, Obus bus stop to/from airport, money exchange place 2 stores from SNZ.
Cons: Kitchen. Does not have enough utilities, cookware, dink’s and drying towels. Although there are signs to encourage everyone to wash the cookware and dishes, not everyone does it. Sinks and cooktops get filled with food debris. They should consider stationing someone to help with cleanup during busy hours.

Cons: Disorganised checkin. Disturbed fours times one morning for our room (private 107) to be cleaned, the first time a guy just walked in without knocking. We said no to the first and all others who kept coming. Cleaners also vacuuming the hall at 7am, why, I don’t know.
