Typical backpacker hostel - great at the price in central Dunedin (lovely town) just yards from The Octagon in the town centre. Nice views from roof terraces.

Outdated rooms, loud. Did the job for one night… would not have stayed any longer.

It was center of the town. Every things are walking distance. I stayed a room w bankbed. Bit small room, still good value of the money. There is a Bar downstairs, free pool to play. Overall 5 out of 5. I enjoyed stay there. Thank you.

Only If the shower place can be warmer in the winter season, everything will be fine for a backpacker. By the way, Thanks for the final arrangement for my family.
Yuwen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good clean property a bit of a werid request to uncover your pillow case if in a doom room. Surely its easy to see if someone has slept in the bed or not.
Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked having my own room. Even though it was pricey, the privacy was what needed at that time. Air circulation was questionable. The room had a stuffy odour by the time I checked out. I decided not to cook since the kitchen facility was very crowded.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were lovely. The Single room was clean and tidy, no noise from the pool hall/bar below. Added bonus that there was a pool hall. Clean bathroom and showers. Was simple and adequate and the carpet was clean and new-looking. AND parking was free!! Yeah. I intend to stay again. Keep up the good work!! Unlike the hotel I had stayed in 6 months prior that was dated, in desperate need of a carpet shampoo and had a very uneven floor and cost way to much.

房間都在二樓，沒有電梯，適合背包客不適合家庭
沒有電梯、沒有電梯、沒有電梯，適合背包客不適合家庭，我們去的時候但尼丁很冷所以沒有冷氣倒是還好，但是浴室隔音很差，可以聽到隔壁房間的聲音，房間內沒有冰箱，也不能在房間內飲食，早餐其實就是吐司果醬牛奶麥片，我看接駁費用是20紐幣，工作人員說不需要預訂，但我在機場被坐地起價變成30紐幣，建議還是線上預約降低風險。
