cheap but decent. Room was basic, but shared showers/toilets were clean, staff helpful, and kitchen was decent. Close to trendy areas of Kingston and Manaka (with restaurants, shops).

Stayed here for two nights in a single room. The room smelt a little musty but not unbearably so. Some noise from other guests, but you could perhaps avoid this if you ask for a room less close to the shared bathrooms, and it didn't continue late into the night. Towel provided but without soap. Those are the negatives.

When booking this really cheap and wonderfully clean Lodge I was not aware that the female bathroom would be done the hallway.It was on the site but I missed it. "my bad". It was not a problem as every time I went for a shower I could just go straight in. The Lodge was full so I was amazed. There...

Kingston is located about 20 minutes walk (I don't drive) from Australia's Parliament House. It's a bit of a trek from the city centre itself over the bridge but it's a pleasent suburb with a selection of shops, cafes and pubs about five minutes walk away. Regular buses go to the city centre too.
Arrived late(ish) at night and didn't...

A reasonably priced accommodation, which despite having the feel of a hostel made for a good stay. Situated in a leafy residential area, Victor Lodge is also fairly handy for cricket at Manuka Oval. Good quality information is available plus a decent laundry room for sorting your washing!
Thanks for your review. Hope you can make it back for the cricket in summer things are a bit more lively then.

Victor Lodge is a good option for those on a budget but who don’t necessairly want to stay in the YHA. It’s a little dated but the staff were friendly and the place was clean. It’s a bit out of the city but get a bus to Kingston or Wentworth Avenue and from both those stops, it is only a...
