It was convenient
Fridge leaked . Heater wasn’t very thermostat friendly and we were cold . Only two electrical plugs for the room
The location, the facitiles and the staff
Heating could be better!
Price
Hot water - cleanness
Location & the room was clean.
The kitchen wasnt clean, however I dont think that is the staffs fault. The room was clean, but does not look like the picture. The facilities were like the kitchen.
Ein eher alternatives Backpacker-Hostel mit einer sehr entspannten und internationalen Atmosphäre. Besonders der Garten und die Außenbereiche laden dazu ein, zur Ruhe zu kommen und mit anderen Reisenden ins Gespräch zu kommen. Die Unterkunft ist einfach gehalten, hat aber ihren ganz eigenen Charme. Positiv aufgefallen ist die bunte Mischung der Gäste – neben Backpackern sind hier auch Arbeiter oder Monteure untergebracht, was für eine besonders vielfältige und authentische Atmosphäre sorgt. Die Lage eignet sich gut als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in den Abel-Tasman-Nationalpark.
Absolutely nothing that detracted from our overall experience – we would happily stay again.
Plenty of room and equipment in the kitchen
No chair in the room. Bathrooms were busy due to the number of guests.
Loved the kitchen/our door area.
Very noisy early in the morning when the workers left. Inconsiderate. Showers not hygienic.
Spacious and good facilities
N/A
Good kitchen, bath was ok, there were some stuff to use for entertainment like billiard, darts,…
It was ok, but nothing special
A very cheap hostel for two nights. The showers were warm. It has a very nice cafe close by where you can have brunch
The room was quite warm and small. The bed mattress felt like a sponge, and I got some back pain. The fan in the room was quite noisy, so we didn't use it. The bathroom was a bit smelly and not very clean
Clean and comfortable, cheaply priced and not too noisy as far as hostels go
Bout a 10min walk to town centre if have no vehicle. Apart from that was all good
Really good! Big kitchen/lounge area.
Only one toilet/ shower for 2 rooms
Good place to leave my motorbike!
Some teabags/coffee would have been nice..
Bel emplacement. Prestations idéales pour moi. Personnel agreable
La pluie était présente donc pas assez de places abritées.
Large communal area if you want to meet people in the hostel. Fridge in the room. Fans in the room but not aircon.
The sheets weren't clean - there was fresh blood droplets on a pillow case. The shared bathrooms are cleaned daily but by the evening they are filthy (I know this happens in hostels) but not pleasant. The rooms are very loud and you can hear everything in the room beside you.
The lady in the office was very pleasant and went the extra mile to give me a lift as my van broke down. The facilities were clean and tidy and other guests were very respectful.
Best value for money Perfect Room Facilities were nice
Quite central
Noisy
Das Hostel liegt zentral.
Das Zimmer ist sehr klein.
Quiet and comfortable accommodation.
Great kitchen facilities. Liked outside sheltered area. Security was good
Noise from other people as no sound proofing in room. Bathrooms needed to be cleaned more regularly throughout the day
Well Set up
Comfy bed. Lightweight bedding for summer. Fan in room. Good communal area. Good off street parking.
Pillow very 'poofy' so not so good if you prefer flatter, but still pretty comfortable. No soundproofing.
Lovely secure establishment. Great kitchen facilities. Our amily room - dbl bed and 2 bunks- was perfect and even had a fridge freezer which was helpful.
都棒
停车场加大
Great little backpackers. Well equipped with all you need at an affordable price. Toilets and showers were clean, rooms were perfect, bed was comfy. Great little socialising area in a perfect location
Honestly, nothing!
Shared kitchen had all the essentials. Bathrooms were clean. Showers on a 5min timer. Plenty of activities available and common room area with TV
Quadruple room was very small, with one window for ventilation making it hot (in summer). Also inexplicable amount of noise until late at night (midnight) and then again around 5:30am. Seemed to be quite a few permanent "guests" living in cabins
Nice, clean and very accommodating
Quiet hostel and not too busy (42 beds) with most people not around during the day
The shower curtain in the small bathroom behind the kitchen could do with a wash, the bottom of it would come up clean in the washing machine
Friendly staff,facilities were good
The bed was hard and there was a smell up the hallway
Nice kitchen and lounge.
The beds were not comfortable at all. The room is really tiny for four people. The other people had lots of stuff and room being too small with less space underneath, there was lots of luggage lying around. The showers were not comfortable.
Nice place. Cool vibe. Nice staff. Nice garden area. Hood big kitchen.
Location
Decent sized kitchen, however lacked enough microwaves and sharp knives.
Didn't like the lack of maintenance seen everywhere! Missing bedroom door handle, lights that didn't work in the bathrooms or passages. Squeaky bathroom doors that you can hear from your bedroom. Beds not made up. Pillows paper thin that I had to fold in half to sleep on. Just because it's labeled as a backpacker, doesn't mean it doesn't have to be decent.
Well equipped communal areas, clear property instructions, easy check in and check out.
有免费游玩的台球桌和电视等,在庭院的草坪桌椅上用餐体验非常好。
卫生和清洁状况还可以进一步改善。
Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig.
De gezellige woonkamer en grote keuken waren erg mooi en fijn.
De familie kamer met 4 bedden is krap bij het stappelbed. Het onderste bed is namelijk een twijfelaar.
キッチンなど共有スペースが広く、実に快適に過ごせました。
野外に靴を干して外出して、帰ってみると片足だけ紛失していました。 翌朝スタッフに探してもらうと、バックヤードのゴミ箱で発見。二つ揃えていたものを、一つだけですから、なんらかの故意だと思います。 何か起こったか、よくわかりませんが、アジア人に対する悪意なのか、いろいろ想像して怖くなります。 滞在自体は快適だっただけに、とても残念です。
Clean family room 13
Table tennis broken, especially the balls. Kicker table broken. Dirty old tea towels.
Clean and confortable
Loved the cooking facilities and the rooms, the people that were there were all lovely
Bon rapport qualité prix pour découvrir Abel Tasman
La propreté dans les parties communes mais qui sont dépendantes des autres personnes
Great location and comfy room.
Showers need a good scrub, bathroom hand towels and kitchen tea towels need to be replaced more often.
The view , games and everything
Nothing
Very easy check in and responsive staff to messages. towels provided. communal toilets and showers were clean.
the communal kitchen was very large however not the cleanest. this may be a reflection of the guests vs the staff however.
Comfortable beds. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Didn’t feel clean, especially the shared facilities (bathrooms, lounge areas, kitchen)- they all weren’t pleasant. Walls were paper thin and you could hear everything. Felt quite like a prison cell and not much privacy.
Very accomodating owners/staff. Friendly atmosphere
Well equipped kitchen, nice communal spaces
Very noisy at night8
Friendly people staying there, especially the permanents.
One room of noisy tourist blokes.
Good for stay
A really nice backpackers hostel. The rooms were well put together and warm during the winter. Lots of space in the kitchen and lounge and bathrooms are being renovated. Staff were really helpful and hospitable - I'd stay here again, for sure. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed on my trip through NZ.
Very comfortable bed, the place was clean
good location, clean room, clean kitchen
none, all good
