The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming truly the heart of this place! The location is perfect, right in the centre of Rotorua and walking distance to everything ( pack n save ). The hot tub was a lovely bonus after a day of exploring, and the facilities were spotlessly clean.

It’s a small, cute hostel in a great location. Not far from the Intercity bus stop, really close to PakNsafe for shopping, a good café and a lot of restaurants around. I like that the hostel wasn’t crowded, it was more comfortable. I felt more like home then like in a hostel. The staff is really kind. I could leave my luggage at the reception after check out. I really recommend thus place!

Hot pool was open until late. The cabin was clean, toilet was really nice, also the heater was good to have for the cold weather. They have a pool table which is pretty cool and a free simple, but nice breakfast. Location was the best, walking distance every where!

One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Lovely layout of the rooms, comfy bunk beds with curtains. Toiletries in the spacious showers. Plenty of lounge space although I didn't have a chance to use it.
