The place is alright for the budget. However, the bed was very noisy and I move a lot in my sleep. I kept waking the whole dorm when I moved.

10/10

Excellent place to stay in Aoraki Mt Cook Nat'l Park with beautiful views and plenty of amenities. We appreciated the on site laundry, lounge areas, and the sauna! Dining options are limited in the park (~3 restaurants). Even though they're all good, you may want to plan ahead and bring groceries to take advantage of the communal kitchen area at the hostel. Helpful and friendly staff keep everything clean and tidy. We loved our experience here!

Cool environment. 300 dollars US a bit steep for no bathroom in room. Pretty place for a hostel. NOT WORTH $300!

8/10

Easy access to most hiking area, amenities clean and comfortable, friendly staff, affordable. The noise level is way too much though. It's expected on shared rooms/ accomodations, however, banging of doors and conversations of the next door occupants can still be heard past 11pm.
1-night trip

10/10

Clean, big kitchen, enough bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Remember to bring bathing suit to enjoy the sauna which opens from 5-9pm. Close to hooker valley track (10mins walk to the entrance)

10/10

Hostel itself is very clean, excellent staff, workable kitchen, etc. The only down side is that it’s a short drive or a long walk to most trailheads & of course any other loud/inconsiderate guests. The place is great though!
1-night trip

10/10

Beyond all expectations this place absolutely amazing, the owners are very friendly and welcoming
2-night trip

4/10

The cost is very high for what you get, suggest looking around at local motels instead. Stayed two nights, one morning and one night there was no hot water for showers or washing up.

3-night trip

Newer and larger building compared to the Queenstown location we stayed at! Really comfy mattresses and the rooms had a mini fridge and plenty of hooks and hangers. The kitchen was very large and the hostel was very clean. Walls are a bit then but no issues with ear plugs!
1-night trip

10/10

There were really clean and modern kitchen and lounge. But it’s a bit pity that the dryer place didn’t work well when I stayed.

so good
2-night trip

6/10

Room description was inaccurate- there was zero air conditioning available in the rooms. The only option were fans/heaters that did not work properly, or open the windows which resulted in freezing temperatures overnight. Bathrooms got incredibly dirty quickly in the mornings, but overall stay was ok with a great location and a good restaurant next door.
1-night trip

10/10

Location is wonderful. There are no many options for budget travelers around Mt Cook. Yet it is worth to visit. Staff are friendly. Price are competitive.

Good location. A little bit noisy, we can hear someone is taking from the room nearby.

Clean and seemed to be well managed. Stayed two nights in an 8 bed dorm. Deducted one star as the internet wasn't working for a few hours the first morning.
