It was not clear when I booked the Absoloot that it was a backpackers hostel rather than a motel. For that reason, we felt that the price was a little high. Nevertheless, the room (with an ensuite) was fine if a little small. The location is excellent, right in the middle of Queenstown but unfortunately that meant that there was... More

I was very satisfied with this hostel from the following reasons. It is located in the very centre of Queenstown and just right next to the lake. Also very close to the bus stop. I appreciated towels and free wi-fi were included in the price which is not common in all New Zealand hostels. Whole hostel was very clean and... More

This place was very welcoming when we arrived, we were upgraded from the 6 bed to a 4 bed dorm which was nice. It is probably one of the closest hostels to the beach, but still close to everything else. Ensuite bathroom was nice and clean. If I had to give a negative, the kitchen is a little small, that...

This place is what is - perfectly located little hostel that is cheap for the location. Rooms are adequate as are the bathrooms. It suited me well because I was travelling alone and could duck out and back constantly throughout the day. Because I had my own room I could also read or watch telly for some down time, and... More

The best part of this place was that each room had their own bathroom! The beds were also good. Only negative I can think of was the small kitchen, it was difficult to move around if there were more then 4-5 people....
