Decent room and beds, clean, friendly staff, and a fair price. Ramon the dog was extremely cute and an effective security pupper. I was sad not to have met the local kitty cats I was advised of, but you can't have everything :-)

Good stay here. Booked private room - was a seperate building outside with short walk into main building for bathroom and kitchen. All pretty clean - room was a bit heavy with smell or air freshener. Parking is tight but generally available. Easy walk into Queenstown (~15 min) for main sites/attractions in town.

Nice hotel, staff very friendly, room was clean, plenty of shared areas, easily walkable Only noticed it could use a couple more bathrooms/showers, but with as busy as the hotel was, we had to shower it was never more than a 5 minute wait. Definitely would stay here again! Loved it.

This was a great backpackers to stay at overall. The only thing I think needs to be noted is that I believe there was a leak in our "cabin". The room was musty smelling and at times the carpet felt damp.
