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.

Nice old building. Clean and nice service. There have been some renovation to the building but there are still areas that could need an update. I have a room that has been updated an it is lovely. Nice bed and clean sheets.

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.

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.
