P.
Great hostel! Beautiful old building but very charming and clean. Centrally located, close to to the city center. Hostel is filled with cool artworks and the wifi is super fast. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Good vibes and atmosphere!!!
A.
This is an awesome hostel! There is sweet art everywhere, the staff are so friendly and they serve a free breakfast of cereal, toast and jam and coffee/tea! The kitchen is huge and well stocked w everything you need to cook! We were stoked about this place because they have a double bed in a dorm which is unheard of so my boyfriend and I got to sleep together comfortably! Great location and great price! 😎

A real decent hostel, stayed in the private room with my girlfriend. The room was clean and modern looking the view looking otto the other wall was a bit doleful but overall really good place to stay I'll, it's quite central and close to many amenities! The hostel was in the middle of getting refurbished when we were there but it wasn't a bother. The place was near enough complete and was looking really good! They have a nice common room and a big kitchen to cook! The breakfast is free and a good filler till lunch! I'd recommend staying here for sure!
M.
Under new management and seems to have undergone a bit of change comparing it to past reviews. Place seems to be kept very clean, WiFi works well. Very comfortable bed, good price. Lots of quirky artwork. Big common area. Well located in the centre of town. Manager Ben very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area.
S.
I have been there since few days and trust me it's clean. Some rooms got TV. There is anything we need to cook on the kitchen, everything is on a good condition.
It's like a different old style backpackers. I would recommend this place and the manager is really nice :)
C.
The manager is very thorough on cleanliness, flexible for a worker and excellent accommodation for the price paid for it. The lounge is the best available with comfortable couches and chairs in a large room for chatting or entertainment in front of a large TV with access to Netflix, the internet via WIFI or a personal computer available to guests to use.

I visited here on my trip to NZ last year. Really friendly people which was awesome. Rooms were clean, as was the kitchen area. Unless it's changed, just be aware there's no parking near by so you will need to have a bit of a walk if you're driving. But hey! Cool statue in opening foyer makes up for it!
F.
The bedrooms are relatively good, the kitchen and bathrooms also keep a good clean, staff people is very friendly but could change somethings in the smooking area maybe put a little table in the middle for share a couple beers or simply play cards, near to downtown, supermarket and casino.
f.
Pretty good backpacker. Free wifi (and it's working). Double bed in bunk rooms (good for couple who don't want to pay for a private room). Free breakfast. Kitchen is a bit small and not enough bathroom but nothing terrible
H.
Very easy to find, lovely friendly and helpful staff. Room was adequate but mattress needed replacing.
Communal areas were very well decorated and welcoming. Plenty of bathroom facilities and breakfast was provided
S.
Lovely hostel, perfect for basic accommodation if you're spending the day in the city and just need a bed for the night. Staff were super friendly and showed us the best places to visit, the room was comfortable and the location was excellent.
R.
Hostel is OK for a night or 2. nice to have free breakfast. Rooms don't have much space and there aren't a huge number of showers or much space in kitchen.
S.
Loved my stay there! Would definitively go back if I had the chance of visiting Dunedin again!
Staff and premises are welcoming and friendly. Can’t wait to see the place once the renovation is over :)
K.
Great relaxed back packers. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Fantastic showers! always hot and pressurised :) big warm kitchen and lounge. movie nights! its fab :)
S.
It's ok. Free breakfast (toast, butter, jam, tea, coffee, milk, oats, corn flakes). Pretty old building and furnitures. Not very clean. Internet connexion is not working everywhere.

Nice atmosphere and very good as it is very cheap, equipment is really bad tho. Only one washer and dryer for everyone, so it is most of the time blocked by the hostel washing sheets.
D.
Despite other reviews, I think Its a very good hostel. Free wifi, breakfast and computers. Very hospitable place and owner.

(Translated) Pretty classic hostel. All the comforts of a hostel are met. Several clean bathroom. Nice staff. The hostel is decorated by street art works that are rather successful. There is no parking in front of the hostel but it is possible to park in a quiet street perpendicular to it. It is a good place to visit the city.

Auberge de jeunesse assez classique. Tout le confort d'une auberge de jeunesse est réuni. Plusieurs salle de bain propres. Personnel agréable. L'auberge est décorée par des oeuvres de street art qui sont plutôt réussies. Il n'y a pas de parking devant l'auberge mais il est possible de se garer dans une rue calme perpendiculaire à celle ci. C'est un bon endroit pour visiter la ville.

(Translated) Well equipped, the rooms are clean enough and the showers too. The atmosphere is a little weird but for one night it's enough.
(Original)
Bien équipé, les chambres sont assez propres et les douches aussi. L'ambiance est un peu bizarre mais pour une nuit ça suffit largement.
