Every time I go to Christchurch I stay in this YMCA, have never had any problems with the accommodation, the rooms, even the dorms, are clean, bathrooms as well, tv is on each floor, fast and cheap internet, good location, gym, climbing wall... But I don't think I will go back. My 5th stay wasn't as awesome as the previous... More

The hostel is very good in location and the rooms are very clean at the same that bathroom. The big problem is the kitchen, very small and all the stuff dirty because the people who stay in the hostel make a mess and don’t clean very well. Also the people who work in the hostel don’t fix the problem, so... More

I don't even know where to begin! I ended my wonderful trip in newzealand with the worst experience of a hostel ever! Check in was an unorganised sham. We were given 1 key between 3 in a 4 bed room! The room was freezing, there were blood stains on my pillow, the bathrooms were very old and small randomly placed... More

Our single (private) room was clean and quiet. It was small w/ two beds (1 double/1 single). There were coffee/tea packets and a tea kettle but not much for amenities, like a refrigerator. We stayed the one night and had to leave early in the morning. We had time for a walk through the Botanical Gardens which is right across... More

I spent a night in a single room on the 4th floor. It was clean, warm, with a balcony - shared facilities, but they were very close to the room. Pleasant place to stay, quiet- across road from museum and 2 minute walk to centre of city. Cafes opening up nearby. Considering the state of accommodation in CHCH at the... More

only a few o word.... dirty, unfriendly...small, stinki,the reception girl: HORROR! i will never go again to this place! the kitchen is too small, the rooms also.... for this prise never again!! and the stuff is so unfriendli!!! not normal!!

Clean, good size room. Quite expensive for what it was. Good location right across from the botanical gardens and museum. We stayed here for one night mainly due to convenience and location (directly across from bus-stop)

I booked a single en-suite (night before a long-haul flight) - I was upgraded to a twin room, it was like staying at a hotel, good facilities, clean room. Staff were helpful. Location is good, although there isn't a huge amount of evening entertainment/restaurants in that area. There's not a huge amount of choice for hotels in Christchurch due to... More

The only good point is the location: just beside the amazing botanical garden of Christchurch. All the rest should be improved. Toilets are terrible, the kitchen is a 3x3 boxroom on the 1st floor, dirty and surely insufficient for 6 and more floors of rooms (so save money to eat out), and if you need to collect something before 7...
