Whilst this hostel is still recovering from the damage caused by the earthquake last year, the staff made every effort to accommodate to the guests need. There is a really relaxed vibe at this hostel, and I greatly enjoyed my 2 night stay here. I wanted to stay there again when I was back in Christchurch, and despite attempting to... More

Stayed in a 4 bed dorm 22.50 NZD. Rooms are dirty. Floors unswept walls and ceiling are cracked. Collection of pizza boxes on closet. Dirty mirrors and dripping sink in room. Facilities are messy. Showers dirty - found three types of dead insects and lots of dust on the clothes shelf, shower head broken so be prepared for a vertical... More

Stayed several nights and could not fault the place. Handy to everything in Christchurch with food outlets and drinking establishments nearby. The hosts Graeme and Denise very helpful and informative. Stayed in two different rooms and found both very comfortable with sink and TV. Some of the guests were a little noisy one night, but hey it's a backpackers where... More

A great stay. I arrived late but all was accommodated for. Really friendly owner who even offered to take me to the city the next day. Comfy rooms and wide beds with little noise. A TV lounge fit for purpose and a well stock and organised kitchen. Showers were warm and powerful and toilets were clean. Would really recommend :)

We stayed here in September for 2 nights as we flew into Christchurch and we were so pleased we returned to stay here before our departing flight. Location was great as we could walk everywhere. Short walk to location where Magicbus picked us up and dropped us off. Supermarket, post office and food outlets in ST Albans 5-10 minute walk.... More

Stayed in a private double for 2 nights. Couldn't wait to leave. Everything about this place was unpleasant, which is a shame as it does have potential and the owners did seem ok (on the one occasion we saw them - checking in). Let's start with the room. It had a tv, fridge and sink, which were a nice surprise.... More

I was traveling with 3 other girls via NakedBus and this hostel is quite a distance from the NakedBus stop just as an fyi for anyone traveling like that. The owners seemed very nice but the toilet paper was never filled and the trash was always full. The room I was in was clean and had access to the porch... More

Everything was in a poor state with this hostel, from the building surrounds, dirty rooms, kitchen and dining area. Taps, toilets and sinks that didn't work. I suppose you can excuse some things from the earthquake but with large numbers of people passing through this hostel you need to have a level of cleanliness. We stayed in a number of... More

Old place desperately in need of some work! Location ok except hookers have moved out to this street due to the quake. Room was pretty clean and host friendly enough
