Friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and relaxing layout easy to meet fellow travellers. Quiet location although so near centre. short steep walk to the start of the 'Queenstown Hill trail up to the summit (arduous but well worth it for great views).
Not much headroom in lower POD as required to slide up to pillow - bed very comfy but not side-on as the orientation is 'different'.

This is the best backpacker I’ve stayed at so far.
The kitchen never felt too crowded, and even though the bathroom were shared, they were more designed more like private bathrooms. so it comfortable and had good privacy.
I wouldn’t really recommend it for people with a lot of luggage. There’s no lift and the rooms are a bit small so it’s not very convenient if you have a large luggage.

Excellent location! Pleasant staff!
We need to crawl in and crawl out from foot of the bed like a rabbit! And the bed is very low for any human
to sit up straight! It was very hard on my back! I hit my head so many times from the top of the bed!! Not
very pleasant experience!
The entrance key was not working, I tried so hard to open, the key cut my thumb to bleed!
Also the door handles are very very heavy very hard to turn, in results I bruised my palm!
The size of the sink in the bathroom was size of toy sink! You can't wash your face without spraying water on
the floor! There is no place to put our stuff! I had to leave things on top the toilet! The bathroom is so tiny,
is really hard to function!
I have to admit that I am very disappointed about the hostel!!
