Clean! ##### Jayr Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hala house is beautiful , we booked a private room with two twin beds. Staff was kind and had a packet waiting for us for late check-in. Plenty of parking. Facility is nice and clean Room was clean and nice. The views from outside our window was stunning I’m giving them a 4/5 instead of a 5 because of a few sticks in the mud : 1) the shared bathroom across from our room. I actually liked the design they have the toilet and shower separate , however the shower room door and lock sticks and I didn’t know that ,and I was stuck in there for a good five minutes trying to get out… the next day when my partner went to shower I forgot to tell him ( I’m horrible I know ) and the same thing happened. Also the shower drain was clogged so you had to slow your shower down to a trickle while you stood in an inch and a half of water No complimentary coffee/tea: I know this is a silly thing to get stuck up on, but coffee is my elixir of life. We got there late and didn’t have time to pick any up, there were not any packets in our room so I went downstairs to look for some, they had a machine in the lobby but you had to pay over three dolllars a cup and it was broken and wouldn’t work. I think some packets of complimentary tea or coffee is a small gesture to guest that goes a long way for them Overall pretty good stay. Mt cook is stunning and there is so much to see there ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/74994c9f-f37d-4af3-90ee-6572629637a9-1760121501262.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas Feb 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cool environment. 300 dollars US a bit steep for no bathroom in room. Pretty place for a hostel. NOT WORTH $300! ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen Nov 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hostel itself is very clean, excellent staff, workable kitchen, etc. The only down side is that it’s a short drive or a long walk to most trailheads & of course any other loud/inconsiderate guests. The place is great though! ##### Kristen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dolor Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Easy access to most hiking area, amenities clean and comfortable, friendly staff, affordable. The noise level is way too much though. It's expected on shared rooms/ accomodations, however, banging of doors and conversations of the next door occupants can still be heard past 11pm. ##### Dolor Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Newer and larger building compared to the Queenstown location we stayed at! Really comfy mattresses and the rooms had a mini fridge and plenty of hooks and hangers. The kitchen was very large and the hostel was very clean. Walls are a bit then but no issues with ear plugs! ##### Natasha Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chihiro Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities There were really clean and modern kitchen and lounge. But it’s a bit pity that the dryer place didn’t work well when I stayed. ##### Chihiro Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yeong shin Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort so good ##### yeong shin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ella Jan 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The cost is very high for what you get, suggest looking around at local motels instead. Stayed two nights, one morning and one night there was no hot water for showers or washing up. ##### Ella Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SHASHA Jun 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is wonderful. There are no many options for budget travelers around Mt Cook. Yet it is worth to visit. Staff are friendly. Price are competitive. ##### SHASHA Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024
