person found this review helpful

We stayed at Topspot as part of the Kiwi Experience and perhaps the guaranteed visitors from this has resulted in their rude and unhelpful attitude? When we checked in there was no welcome or introduction to the area, or the hostel for that matter.

Spent 2 nights at this hostel which was very basic, and not too clean. Toilets and showers flooded one of the evenings with water all over the floor. Showers were of low standard.

“Not much going for it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2007

Top Spot is midly better than it's sister hostel, The Lazy Shag but really only due to it's location. It is on a hill about the town and has a great view over the bay. The hostel was tired and a bit dirty, the sofas were creepy. It was not the worst hostel and maybe OK if you're not there... More
