Plenty of facilities for number of guests that were staying while I was there, nothing felt crowded. Everything was clean. Big lockers to store your bags in which is good. Free parking a short walk away too! ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had a great stay here! I love that there are sloped ramps instead of stairs up. There were 3 bunks in my room and 2 single twin beds! I enjoyed a night of not having anyone above or close to me! Staff was super friendly. Lots of supplies in the kitchen for cooking. Walking distance to the Polynesian Spa. Overall loved my stay here!! ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vedant Ulhas Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Booked a private room in this hostel. The property was clean, the bed was comfortable. Please note this doesn’t have air conditioning but does have heater as well as a fan. Parking was easy. Satisfied with the stay otherwise given the price. ##### Vedant Ulhas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberley Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rotorua is a pretty small town so you can walk to pretty much everywhere in the “downtown” area. Can walk to start your tours and shuttles within 5 minutes. ##### Kimberley ### 6/10 Okay #### Satish Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness No parking, no lifts, mostly suitable for backpacker groups. The property is well inside a building complex , have to walk some distance by carrying luggage. Window view is adjacent buildings. Pricey for the facilities. However the property was clean. ##### Satish Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keishi Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I appreciate response of staff ##### Keishi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ichiro Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Comfortable . ##### Ichiro Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon Apr 24, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Centrally located so great for getting around. Friendly and helpful staff, helpful about providing bus information etc. Luggage storage in a locked room. Lots of kitchens and lounges. I had a private room with ensuite which was fine, a bit basic but everything I needed. Only thing I didn't like was that the bed linen was very pilly which was a bit uncomfortable. ##### Sharon Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tania May 5, 2024 Liked: Staff & service The staff member who greeted me was amazing he was so helpful and enthusiatic I would return purely becasue of the servie he provided. I know it was Rotorua but in the area near the kitchen it smelted like people had not showered for weeks were in the rooms and the carpet and kitchen floors were dirty and I did not want to walk around in barefeet. ##### Tania Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail Mar 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, good facilities. Not sure if i was off-season but it seems a very quiet hostel. Huge lounge/communal space on third floor. Women’s bathrooms have hairdryer and straighteners in them which is a nice touch. Free parking a short walk away. The top bunk bed did not have a bar or edge so may be an issue if you toss and turn in your sleep. Overall a great stay-I ended up staying here twice during my travels. The Lotus cage next door also does good breakfast. ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Feb 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was only here for a night. Price was reasonable. The area seemed nice and I’ve seen places to eat and drink. The place was clean, and kept up. The staff was nice. If I ever make it back to Rotorua I will stay here again. ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda Feb 12, 2026 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Cleanliness The staff, front desk, were lovely and welcoming.
