Κουίνσταουν Hostels

"Location is just a 10min walk to the center of downtown Queenstown. The place is clean and cozy. There’s a big kitchen communal area that occupies almost the entire first floor. People can cook their food there. I think all cooking utensils and tools are provided. 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."

"The location is super convenient, it only takes less than ten minutes to go to a well-known burger restaurant or lakefront. Roommates are happy."

"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. Even if you're vegetarian, don't worry, they all have Chinese menus."

"Quiet hostel, no unnecessary noise. Everything is quite basic, but perfectly fine for a couple of nights. The room is clean, beds are comfortable, nothing fancy. Common areas are decent. The staff is friendly. The only thing is, you can tell it's a budget option, without any special frills. But if you just need a place to sleep, it's perfectly acceptable."

"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."

"Very nice place to stay if u are not driving in NZ the location is excellent, walking distance to intercity bus stop and the pick up point for realNZ day tour Staff is helpful."

"I highly recommend this cozy and comfortable hostel! It seems like there were small activities every night, and I was lucky enough to participate and hang out with people from other branches. The overall experience was great, and I made friends from all over the world in just two nights. Not only were the staff friendly and welcoming, but the location was also very convenient, and the price was even better. This small hostel is also perfect for shy and introverted people."

"We arrived in Queenstown by car very late. This was the only hotel that answered our call after 10 PM and said check-in was possible at any time. The hotel is right in the center. There are a lot of young people who came to have fun in Queenstown. There are free parking lots near the hotel in the evening and at night. During the day, you can only park there for half an hour. So we had to wake up at 8 AM to move the car to a free parking lot further away."

"Polite staff and central location in Queenstown ( 5 minutes walk to city center). Amenities include free WiFi, laundry, a garden, hot tub, and bike access. Rooms were cozy but basic. The communal kitchen space was organized and easy to use. The sauna is the reason I will book again when in Queenstown. 🥰"

"The backpacker is still a clear gap in the room type compared to other youth hotels in the town, because it is not possible to catch up with the car, so it is temporarily set for one night. Overall, it depends on the price comparison. The facilities in the room are relatively simple and should be changed by self-built houses. But the front desk lady sister service is very warm, the introduction is detailed."
