Personnel really nice. They accepted to keep my bike luggage during my bikepacking trip and this is so much appreciated! Single room, was tiny but cozy. Really nice the shared area.

All hostels in Christchurch

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Really impressed with this hostel! I was upgraded from an 8-bed dorm to a 2-bed dorm, which was small but great to have fewer people. Comfy beds with curtains, individual lights, and chargers by the bed, plus lockers for luggage. They have two kitchens which are well equipped and have everything you need, plus a cozy lounge. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely stay here again! :)
