Thanks to the staff, I had a great day. He's very kind and give me a lot of useful information. The room is small and labyrinthine, but it's clean and satisfying to stay for a short time.

Lovely old time hostel form a converted hotel. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy. Only issue was heater being wall mounted with a timer which would click off every 30 minutes. Not ideal on a very cold night.

No body wash, shampoo and cup for teeth brushing.

10/10

A nice no-thrill hostel where the staff are super friendly and helpful. In NZ west coast, hostels are for travellers of all ages. So if you are concerned (like I did) about staying with a bunch of college, worry not. The shared bathroom is not that much a hassle. It's like staying at a friend's or relative's place. There is a sink inside each room. The walk from the train station is 10 min. Do bring your own soap, shampoo, and conditioner. For what they lack in toiletry, they make it up with a gigantic kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils...you ever need for a trip.

服務人員非常親切友善，整體環境也很乾淨，雖然是一間很有歷史的老旅店，不過住起來仍然相當舒適，要自行攜帶盥洗用具，不過廚房的設備很齊全，用餐區也很舒適。

Very nice staff, always eager to help. The rooms were freshly painted and clutter free with a sink in each room. There is no closet nor shelving for storing the luggage or hang clothing for longer stays however they might have larger room with storage capacity for extended stays. The laundry facility is superb. The kitchen is large and clean. Highly recommended as it is the only affordable place in Greymouth and it is my j better than other hostels or even hotels in the southern part.

My family had a great stay at the Duke Hostel. The location is convenient, and the common area is spacious with good Wi-Fi. They have a ping-pong table and pool for entertainment. The friendly staff made our Christmas special with a surprise cake. The hostel is clean.
