Good hostel. Great bar. Hotdog stand outside :) pool isn't worth going in. Looks dirty More

A party hostel, which is fine if you are happy being kept awake till the early hours by music and drunks. The rooms were basic with clean bedding. There was a flood in to the sleeping area from the bathroom when we arrived - we reported it to the guy cleaning but no one turned up to sort it out... More

It's fine. The bar is fun. It's a younger crowd. It's also where many of the tour buses go so it gets crowded. But it's really not that great. There are better hostels in Paihia. Also, I was in an 8 person room so that doesn't help this review. Not their fault though. More

I went on a Stray bus and pretty much had to stay here in an 8 bed dorm. Never again. The fellow guests were loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate and partied late into the night.

So you’ll find yourself being number 8 out of 8 people queuing for the bathroom sometimes. However, outdoor hot tub is a nice touch. Has a lively bar attached which... More

This is pretty excellent accommodation. I was in Paihia for 4 nights and I spent 2 nights in Pipi Patch. The room I was staying in (8-bed dorm) was clean, and equipped with a fridge and a pantry. Overall, the place has a well-equipped kitchen, a mini pool and a bar (the night I was there happened to be the... More

Loud and crowded. I met lots of very nice people though. More

We stayed here for one night in a double room. It shared a bathroom and small kitchen with toaster and kettle with two other rooms which was a nice touch. The clothes washing facilities were ok although the dryers were a little poor and i ended up drying the clothes in our room on a makeshift clothes line (it was... More
