Flying Pig Backpackers Rotorua

Address: 1221 Amohau St, Rotorua, Bay of Plenty Region, 3010, NZ
Location: Inner City
Star rating: 1/5
Guest rating: 9.2/10 (27 reviews)
Review: For $15 usd, cant beat it. Clean, quiet, friendly. Even offered extension cords for charging in the bed, a fan, full kitchen use, and a place to lock your things so you dont have to worry about roomies with sticky fingers. Its downtown so convenient for going out for a walk, movie, shopping, but sometimes parking is a litrle harder. Had to park around the block. No biggie., by katie, November 8, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Rock Solid Backpackers Rotorua

Address: 1140 Hinemoa Street, Rotorua, 3010, NZ
Location: Inner City
Star rating: 4/5
Guest rating: 8.4/10 (237 reviews)
Review: We got a double ensuite room and it was amazing! There were very few rooms around ours and it was really quiet for a hostel. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was nice and big. The kitchen is great and has newer appliances and cookware. I couldn't have asked for a better location in town and it was within walking distance of everything you could ever need. The breakfast place right next door (Lotus Cafe) had an amazing bacon and egg breakfast for only $9.50 NZD and we ate there every morning...., by TomCeratops, September 2, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
