Very good location and the views were lovely! The bedroom was comfortable and having a sink was very handy. The bathrooms were spacious. Would definitely stay again.
The woman’s bathrooms could have been cleaned a little more often and thoroughly. The men’s however we’re fine. The kitchen was also not cleaned often although mostly due to the other guests being lazy about washing up.

Nice view clean and very decent facilities
Very noisy area over weekend, noisy rooms with metal containers clicking and making noise by people, the idea of locking the rooms with keys are terrible. People leave the room without key and come back in the middle of night knocking the door!! It’s an awful idea need to be revised!

The staff were very friendly and there was a lift which was very convenient when I had my heavy bags with me to get to my room on the 2nd floor. The kitchen area was very clean and there was plenty of space in the fridge for my food. The location was very good as it was close by to the InterCity bus stop.

The hostel was pretty chill.
4.0
Facilities are clean and great location to meet new people and a beautiful morning view of the harbour.
it is very over priced for the size of the room, We got a room for the two of us and ended up feeling really sick and having to sleep with the door cracked open as it was VERY claustrophobic.

The place is very comfortable for long-term stays and the staff are very kind and helpful, particularly Agustin and Ariana.

I loved the cosy room. I'm usually claustrophobic when it comes to small spaces but I loved the room. There was a nice big window, and the beautiful colour walls just made the place feel vibrant and airy. Also the fan was a dream!
There was no lamp in the room, which made my night time reading very difficult. The ensuite bathroom could have been a bit more clean, and maybe an extra spoon for our coffees and teas would be good.

No bin in the bathroom.

great central location with sea views from the communal lounge and rooftop terrace.
the downside of staying central is no onsite parking.
6.0
The location was awesome, so close to Tauranga CBD and Waikato University. Wifi was fast and easy to connect. The facility was relatively clean.
Loud neighbours, and thin walls which didn't block out any noise.
9.0
Stayed for a work trip over the weekend, very convenient location with a great view! The staff and guests were also super friendly and I got to meet some cool people who shared the room with me. Definitely coming back here for my next visit.
If I had to say something for this, one night there was a group of young boys (maybe school going or a little older?) in our corridor being quite loud. I was puzzled as I thought I was staying at the quiet part of the hostel, however, the noise settled down after a couple of hours and it wasn't even that late at night so it wasn't bad.
