I love that there are sloped ramps instead of stairs up. There were 3 bunks in my room and 2 single twin beds! I enjoyed a night of not having anyone above or close to me! Staff was super friendly. Lots of supplies in the kitchen for cooking. Walking distance to the Polynesian Spa. Overall loved my stay here!! ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin Mar 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Hostel, would come again. The hostel was great, the beds were comfy, it is centrally located and the staff were super helpful. The bathrooms could be in better condition (they were clean), and the showers really need a place to hold towels/ clothes. ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### IEUFAKA Nov 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This establishment attracts a wide range of guests which makes for a very pleasant experience. Staff are very customer service oriented and the vibe is consumer friendly. I will return to stay here on future journeys to Rotorua NZ. ##### IEUFAKA Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Abigail Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location. Plenty of facilities for number of guests that were staying while I was there, nothing felt crowded. Everything was clean. Big lockers to store your bags in which is good. Free parking a short walk away too! ##### Abigail Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Satish Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness No parking, no lifts, mostly suitable for backpacker groups. The property is well inside a building complex , have to walk some distance by carrying luggage. Window view is adjacent buildings. Pricey for the facilities. However the property was clean. ##### Satish Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vedant Ulhas Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Booked a private room in this hostel. The property was clean, the bed was comfortable. Please note this doesn’t have air conditioning but does have heater as well as a fan. Parking was easy. Satisfied with the stay otherwise given the price. ##### Vedant Ulhas Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keishi Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I appreciate response of staff ##### Keishi Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberley Feb 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rotorua is a pretty small town so you can walk to pretty much everywhere in the “downtown” area.

Friendly and helpful staff, helpful about providing bus information etc. Luggage storage in a locked room. Lots of kitchens and lounges. I had a private room with ensuite which was fine, a bit basic but everything I needed. Only thing I didn't like was that the bed linen was very pilly which was a bit uncomfortable. ##### Sharon Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ichiro Aug 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Comfortable . ##### Ichiro Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lee Sep 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good. ##### Lee Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Québec City](https://www.expedia.ca/Quebec-City-Hotels.d180017.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Coba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Coba-All-Inclusive.h1414071.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Bed-And-Breakfast.d4138-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Ajax Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Ajax-Convention-Centre-Hotels.0-l553248621563220601-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in El Nido](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Nido-Hotels.d6046867.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Red Deer](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels.d6139537.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sternwheeler Hotel & Conference Centre, Trademark by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitehorse-Hotels-Sternwheeler-Hotel-And-Conference-Centre.h28265.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelback Lodge & Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Tannersville-Hotels-Camelback-Mountain-Resort.h39161276.Hotel-Information) > > [The Casablanca Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-The-Casablanca-Hotel.h477749.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Jersey City - Holland Tunnel by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Jersey-City-Hotels-Holiday-INN-EXP-Stes-Holland-Tunnel.h42422475.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6023515-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near North Cascades National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Cascades-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6093379-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Houston (IAH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/iah/toronto-to-houston) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyc/kelowna-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ylw/toronto-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/nrt/montreal-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Chek Lap Kok (HKG) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hkg/del/hong-kong-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Incheon (ICN) to Chengdu (CTU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/icn/ctu/seoul-to-chengdu) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/yvr/miami-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Ladyville (BZE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/bze/prince-george-to-belize-city) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Tremblay-en-France (CDG) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cdg/nce/paris-to-nice) ### Cars ### Packages > [See Ya Later Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/See-Ya-Later-Ranch-Okanagan-Falls.d553248621532863802.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit St. Petersburg](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg.dx180029)
