Hostels in Dunedin

The bathrooms were modern and exceptionally clean, with fancy mirrors. The bed was very comfortable, although the top bunk was a little high, so you need to be careful when climbing up. There was plenty of space to store belongings as well. The kitchen was spotless and fully equipped with all the cooking utensils and tableware you could need. There was also a cozy lounge area, a nice study space, and lots of relaxing little corners throughout the hostel. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, and you could tell they worked hard to keep everything clean and well maintained. I absolutely loved staying here, it’s the best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. If I ever come back to Dunedin, I will definitely stay here again!

Mr Ben, the owner, was the best hostel owner I’ve ever met in NZ! His staff were amazing, too - Matty & Micah, Carmen, Isis, Ai, & 1 more nice guy - they were like my family for my entire 7-day stay! My 8-bed dorm room was very spacious, love the new pine bunks, lounge area & kitchen/dining area also were very spacious! Location was perfect, smack dab in downtown, 5-minute walk to the InterCity bus & local bus stations & Countdown grocery, 1-minute to the main shopping/dining/cafe street, library is across the street, town center is a 2-minute walk! The staff does the laundry for you for a fee. The best part, I was there for the week of Christmas and the owner, Mr Ben, provided & baked a ham & chickens and they were the best baked ham & chickens I’ve ever had - perfectly seasoned, plump, juicy, & sooo tender! He even provided the wines & beers!!! About 1/2 the hostel guests & I participated in cooking/making the side dishes & desserts!!! He even reserved the TV for a group movie time on Christmas Eve & provided popcorns!!!! you rock, Mr. Ben!!! even made signs for the free soups I made for everyone from the leftover chicken & ham bones & meat scraps for soup bases!!! It was the best Christmas ever away from home!!! Thanks a million, Mr Ben & your amazing staff for the best hostel & staff in my 7-wk stay in NZ!!!! Isis, thanks a million for helping me carry my luggages down the stairs!!!

Everything you need and more for a very pleasant stay

We liked this place a lot. We booked a private room and even got a private bathroom to go with it. The parking is right next to the building and the shared kitchen space is super handy. The staff was always lovely and helpful.

It’s an old house which gives it a special charm. I felt very confident and comfortable and I actually felt at home. I really loved it. The rooms were very comfortable and this place is nicely designed and decorated. I extended my stay because I liked it so much.

Loved staying here and it was the cleanest backpacker type stay I have ever seen.
