"The location was nice, with it being only an 8 minutes walk into town centre. The kitchen was clean enough for us and so are the bathrooms. However, the wifi was not so great. We had to use our own mobile data, but if you're fine with that then it's a good place for a short stay, which was the case for us considering if you're planning to be out travelling for most of the day anyways. The staffs were all also very lovely and helpful."

"The handsome men and beautiful women at the front desk genuinely and sincerely helped guests with their questions and needs. My three-night stay was truly fantastic! The rooftop offers stunning mountain and lake views, and the cozy fireplace makes you feel like you're in a secluded paradise. Getting around is super convenient. After leaving Queenstown Airport, you only need to walk about 100 meters to find the #1 public transport bus. Remember to buy a transport card at the airport bookstore beforehand; it's very convenient and cheap, especially if you're traveling alone or with one other person. One card is all you need. To get to this hotel (Leloo Hotel), take the bus from the airport. After about 20 minutes, get off at Stanley Street, which is a major transport hub, just a 4-minute walk from the hotel. You'll know it's the right stop because it's at the bottom of a big downhill road, with a large park on your right. The bus stops are conveniently divided into A, B, and C sections. Getting to Arrowtown only takes 25 minutes and costs 2.5 New Zealand dollars. There are many popular, Instagrammable shops nearby, like Fergburger.

For the room, I stayed in a one bunk bed (2single beds). Space is enough for two occupants. Each bed has it’s own light and power sockets. Locker is also available to put your valuable things. Just bring your own lock. Also, bring your own towels. They don’t provide it for free. You have to rent it and pay NZD4.
Common toilets and showers were clean and spotless during my four night stay."

"It was a really great backpacker hostel! I can also convince you that the word of mouth is very good.
First of all, there is a lot of cleanliness. The shared space is beautiful and all the guests use it cleanly. Each room is also beautiful, and it is also great that the bed on the lower stage has a curtain and can be closed.
We are also prepared to drink hot chocolate and tea. New Zealand was cold in autumn, so I was very happy to have a warm drink when I returned to the hostel.
It was an early check-out in the morning with a late check-in, but he contacted me in advance and responded politely.
Also, it was a nice hotel that I would like to stay!"

"Clean, tidy, and generally comfortable stay. The room was quite compact, but there was just enough space to store and open large suitcases, and there are heavy drawers under the bed for storage (no lock provided).
The building itself is narrow and compact, with quite a few stairs required to access the kitchen, bathrooms, lounge areas, and some rooms, which may be inconvenient for those with heavy luggage or limited mobility.
Our ground-floor room was directly below the shower units, and with thin walls, noise from water running, footsteps, and street traffic (as it’s centrally located on a main road) was noticeable. Light sleepers may find this disruptive.
Facilities are good, with two shared kitchens (stovetops, toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, cutlery, and crockery), indoor and balcony seating areas, and a large lounge (TV plays DVDs only). There are multiple shared unisex bathrooms, including single units and a space with two showers and toilets. This may not suit everyone. Cleaned in the morning but gets dirty by end of day. On a positive, there are plenty of bath mats, liquid soap, and a hair dryer are provided.
Laundry is available via QR code payment (around $6 per wash or dry), and on-site parking is offered at $40 per night. Towel available for hire ($4).
Staff super friendly."

Set against the backdrop of awe-inspiring views, Haka House Wanaka is a welcoming hostel that serves as your gateway to discovering the Southern Alps. With scenic wonders like Pembroke Park and Lake Wanaka just moments away, you'll be immersed in nature's beauty. Our contemporary facilities and well-appointed rooms strike the perfect balance between comfort and convenience, ensuring that every guest feels right at home.
"Haka House is a national chain in New Zealand. You can park for free on the street outside. The bedding is good and comfortable to sleep in. It's a shame that the king room has two beds pushed together, so it's easy to slip into the gap in the middle, which is a bit inconvenient. It's close to Real Gun and the Lonely Tree, and Red Super is also nearby. The kitchen is decent, and the dining area is very warm with a fireplace. The decor is cozy, and the staff are patient."

"Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient.
There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle.
There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great.
The showers are on the first floor, unisex.
The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge.
The facilities are generally quite complete.
By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo.
New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own.
You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor.
The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it."

"Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again.
One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room."

HHuobatuThe hotel environment is very good. The boss lady is a Chinese sister. She is very nice and gave me milk. It is very quiet here and very close to the scenic area. There is a McDonald's and a gas station ten meters away. There is a fish and chips restaurant 100 meters away. It is also opened by Chinese people. It is delicious but not friendly. In short, the hotel is very clean and sanitary, with a good location, convenient and fast, and convenient parking.

GGuest UserThe location is convenient, just a 6-minute drive to downtown Dunedin, and within 3 minutes there are various dining options. The Botanical Garden is right next door. The room was clean and a good size, though the closet in the loft was a bit small. Going downstairs to use the restroom at night was also a bit inconvenient. Furthermore, the loft doesn't have a stove for cooking, only a microwave, and there's no drying rack for dishes and cutlery. The best part is the free self-service washer and dryer, but they can't be used after 9:00 pm.

JJulesTAt first glance, the place seems lovely and inviting. However, on closer inspection, there are quite a few maintenance issues that need attention. Several lights weren’t working (only about 2 out of 5), the carpet wasn’t as clean as it initially appeared, and there was mould in the shower. There are also signs of wear such as plastering around the sink, and the hairdryer made an unhealthy noise when used. The toilet bolts were loose, which was concerning.
The bathroom lacks an extractor fan, so it becomes very steamy. The shower head is quite small with low pressure. While there is an outdoor area, it doesn’t offer much privacy as the motel is right on the road.
Parking is available on-site, which is a plus, but there are no laundry facilities.
There is a makeshift kitchenette with a toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, and basic cutlery and crockery. However, it’s not suitable for cooking proper meals, and the lack of a sink makes washing up or even filling the kettle inconvenient.
On the positive side, the location is excellent—right next to a New World supermarket and very central.
Overall, the place is reasonably clean, tidy, and comfortable, but it would benefit from some maintenance.
7.3/10
Cchiichan_desuyoBeing in the city center, it's very convenient to get around, and close to the InterCity bus and airport shuttle stops. It's also about a 10-minute walk to places for tours like Milford Sound. I'd say the location is excellent!
The room itself was very clean, and even though all the beds were occupied, the other guests in the room were quiet, which made it easy to sleep.
The building itself also looked very clean from the outside.
However, it was a shame that there were no power outlets near the beds, no hairdryer in the bathroom, and the common areas were incredibly dirty – though that might have just been bad luck with the other guests staying at the time.
Considering the price, if you can overlook these issues, it's probably worth staying. I'd consider staying here again.

YYuzixiahuazhenhaochiDunedin's top choice for accommodation! The room was clean and spacious, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and the mini-kitchen was fully equipped. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. Owners Barry and Donna were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to mark local eateries and attractions on a map. Parking right outside the door was super convenient, and it's an easy walk to downtown restaurants and shops. Amazing value for money, I'll definitely stay here again next time!
