First time staying and loved the cleanliness and closeness to work. Staff were awesome with all my queries. Definitely will be back for next year's Armageddon.

6/10 Good

The only reason I stayed here was because my tour group was meeting there early in the morning of the start date. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed in an actual hotel. I’ve only interacted with the staff at check in, and they were nice. But the cleanliness of the bathrooms was abysmal. The drains in the showers on the mezzanine level were clogged, one of which to the point where the water wasn’t draining at all. There was no soap in any of the bathrooms. Luckily I had Lysol so I sprayed the door knobs of the bathrooms before touching them. If you’re staying here, pay extra to get a private bath. Or pay extra to stay in a nicer hotel.

stayed here a couple times now, it’s in a great location in Christchurch, and the facility is nice, it doesn’t have the super cramped feel of a lot of hostels. If you’re near the kitchen it can get noisy early am but it’s a hostel…Staff had been very helpful as well.
