We stayed in several hostels on a two week road trip, but this was the first (and only) one I had to unpack the towels for, and we did have a twin en suite which seems to come with towels every where else. I wasn't keen on the wash hand basin being in the room with the beds, but there... More

We pre-booked due to the lack of hostels available since the earthquake. From the beginning the service was really friendly and quick, replies arived within the same day. On arrival the reception very friendly, although we didn't have towels we were provided with some, the room was clean with enough room to move around. Kitchen facilities were good and the... More

It was a nice place to stay, but right off the bat, i felt like this wasn't a usual backpackers. The receptionist was interesting, but cool, down to earth, accommodating and nice. We had four in our group and only two got to stay together in one room. The room only had 3 beds. So the other friend and I... More

We had a double room with ensuite at Foley Towers - it was huge! The only downside was that towels weren't provided, there isn't anything else to fault, the staff were lovely, it was clean, the bed was really comfy and there was even a sofa, table and chairs in the room. Only 5 mins walk to the centre. Some... More

We stayed here two nights before flying out of Christchurch in a 3 bed dorm. It was pretty cheap for New Zealand standards and the rooms were comfy and functional. The beds weren't bunkbeds which was nice and there was a sink in the room. The lounge and the TV room are pretty cosy and there's a few board games... More

Well, this was a nice, clean hostel which was only a 10 minute walk from town. It is situated opposite a nice coffee shop and health food shop (Piko). The TV room was okay, but no DVDs were available (well not that I saw) and the lounge (not the TV lounge) was nice and big and relaxing. I stayed in... More

Depending what you after, Foley Towers is a great hostel. Its located slightly out of the city centre but is only a short walk. Its not a lively sort of hostel which you find in the town centre, but its very friendly and is a nice place to relax. Very clean everywhere. Helpful staff with good recommendations. Big, well equipped... More

We stayed in a standard double room at Foley towers. It is well laid out and, although it is a big hostel, it still felt cosy. There were enough bathrooms for it to never be a problem and they were nice and clean. The kitchen and lounge areas were great, although got a bit full at meal times! Unfortunately there... More

My wife and I spent ten days around and including Christmas at Foley Towers. We found the personnel to be most friendly and helpful. Our accommodations were reasonable in price, en suite included. For Christmas Day, they had a wonderful bar-b-que, with a whole lamb roasted in the open. This was a wonderful spot, comfortable walking distance to the heart... More
