    Great vibe and nice place

    rating02 Mar 2026

    Okay room for a hostel with really helpful staff and cheap rock climbing downstairs. Shared kitchen, toilets and showers were all very good. Close by to a lot of activities.Only issue was the room was way too hot and that made it hard to sleep in.

    Good location but basic

    rating29 Jan 2026

    Very convenient location and friendly welcome, with lots of amenities like big kitchens/ lounges, climbing wall, pool and table tennis table and info about activities. We booked a private room which was very basic but did the job and had an en suite. Staff very helpful when we locked ourselves out (easily done!). Not cheap, it cost $NZ270 per night.

    Solid stay

    rating11 Oct 2025

    Good spacious rooms (we were in an 8 bedroom dorm) and kitchen was relatively clean. There’s a few common areas that have good natural light and couches to lounge around on.Doesn’t have an overly homey fee but I think that is in part due to the layout of the hostel. It’s multi-storey building and things are spread across all levels.

    Affordable stay in Rotorua

    rating11 Aug 2025

    Lovely hostel. My double room was big and the heater worked well. The bathrooms were clean and large. The hostel is very centrally located, but there is ample parking nearby (free on the weekends!). I had some trouble pulling up my backpacker group code at check-in, but the staff were very friendly and were able to apply the discount retroactively at check-out which was amazing. I'd definitely stay here again if I found myself back in Rotorua!

    Great Hostel

    rating06 Aug 2025

    Hostel has a very strange layout - slope up to the reception then a coded door, more corridors, card fob needed for the next 2 doors etc. However the man on reception was very friendly and welcoming - knew lots of information about the local attractions. Our double room was cozy, with an aircon/heating unit adjusted in room with a remote. Bed was comfy and had coffee/tea facilities. Bathroom was along the corridor and came complete with hair dryer, straightener and 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. Didn’t use the rock climbing wall but the lounge and kitchen area were great and had a seating area with tv.
