Spent two nights with my husband in this hostel. Simple yet modern kitchen, decent shared bathroom facilities, incredible location. Rooms are a bit lacking in windows but thats what you get in the center of a city. Our only major complaints was the mattress: seriously excruciatingly uncomfortable. More

It's not a terrible place, but the dorm was overcrowded and had a nasty smell. The bathroom was often flooded. Towels and laundry are twice the price of other places. Overall I think it's too expensive for a small dark place with no windows. I woke up in the middle of the night with the bunkbed rocking back and forth... More

stay here for 2 nights, just a few min walk to the theatres and shopping area ~ the place is nice and clean but it can get a bit noisy at night from the streets. the cat is lovely too ~ toilet was a bit small and kitchen was clean and tidy! The only disadvantage is the walkway from our... More

My main reason for choosing the hostel was to not have to deal with Dunedin's hilly streets which you are saved with this location: central to shops, restaurants, internet... More

Excellent hostel. The rooms were very clean and modern. The location is excellent very close to both the Octagon and the main shopping district. The only downside was the toilet and shower location; to get to the shower or toilet you had to go through the communal/reception areas. Not really a big deal though. More

Richard was a great help right from the start when I booked a night's stay on 8th August 2011. through an email. He helped me arrange for a half day tour which was the highlight of my stay in Dunedin. The other staff , a lady was equally helpful when I had a problem with a faulty lock on my... More

Modern and a good place. Dont believe the review saying that the kitchen and baths are a mess. They arent and as critical as I am otherwise, Id say this is good. Unfortunately its popularity also means it's crowded:( which I personally hate More
