Well equipped kitchen, friendly & organised welcome on arrival. The only thing is the walls are thin, so I had next door's tv coming thru one wall and the other neighbour's snores through the other. But, it was well priced and reasonably central. A good place to stay when you juat need somewhere to sleep. ##### Rachael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chantelle Jul 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent service. Great room. Clean and tidy. Good facilities. Unfortunately someone stole some of our food from the kitchen and some people didn't clean up after themselves in the kitchen which is stink for others.

It was just that we didnt know we had booked into a Hostel. Must have pressed the wrong button when booking as we were in a hurry/ ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabelle Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Minus: My room was just sufficient, but not practical. And at night I had to tape cardboard on the window pane to screen from the outside electrical light, and to darken the room enough for sleep. Plus: good location, good atmosphere, good facilities. ##### Isabelle Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Takashi May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is located outside of town, so if you want to eat out, you'll need to walk a bit. However, there is a large parking lot, making it convenient for those traveling by car. The dining room and kitchen are well-equipped, and it seems that many guests cook their own meals. One nice point was that check-in was handled by staff rather than an automated system. They gave clear explanations and guidance, which was easy to understand and much appreciated. Each private room faces an outdoor corridor, and the lodge-style design felt refreshing. The ceiling above the lower bunk is quite low, so taller guests might find it uncomfortable when sitting up. I also found it slightly inconvenient that when using a plug adapter in one of the two outlets, it blocked the socket for the bedside light, making it unusable at the same time. That said, the room, bed, shower, and toilet were all very clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel. ##### Takashi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirsty Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Night's Stay I've not stayed in hostels much so I had a lot of questions that the staff were very happy to answer. They helped me with everything I needed and were very kind. Hostel beds come with privacy curtains which kept things very cosy. I slept incredibly well and had a great shower. Everyone is friendly. Although the lower bunks are QUITE low, I bumped my head a lot. Great communal kitchen with all required free amenities, and great laundry services although be aware that you do need change. ##### Kirsty Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zef Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Staff were welcoming and friendly. The beds provided a reasonably comfortable night's sleep. The main lounge offered a selection of enjoyable board games. However, the lack of air conditioning on a hot night was notable. The kitchen appliances were somewhat unreliable, and the extended wait for shower access due to one bathroom being out of order was inconvenient. A blocked shower outlet led to an overflow issue. Given these issues, personally, I don't plan on staying there again. ##### Zef Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Central, clean and well equipped accommodation ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stefan Nov 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was good except the cigarette smells ##### Stefan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deborah Dec 4, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Did not disclose that even for a longer stay the booking was on refundable and refused to refund the remainder of nights past my first one, when I realized the property looked nothing like the photos and was not suitable for the length of time I was in Taupo. ##### Deborah Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerrie Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Safe place to stay.
