It was my place for a long term stay. The bed was very nice and there were some plugs, USB connections, a small bag and a night light that simplified my life. I slept in a 4 beds room, so I never felt overwhelmed for the number of people. The backyard garden was lovely and the staff was very kind.

The space in the kitchen is reduced and it's difficult to have space in the only one fridge. It would be nice have a good sponge for washing the dishes.

Excellent location in the centre of Christchurch, bus stop just round the corner, 5 minute's walk. Excellent customer service, Manager / Owner very helpful and will go out of his way to ensure you have the perfect stay. Clean bathrooms, plenty of hot water for showers. Clean and tidy kitchens. Clean rooms with a comfortable bed. I loved the back garden and BBQ area the Manager / Owner has developed, a very homely, relaxing and comfortable place to spend the evening and meet up with fellow travelers from around the world. The next time I am in Christchurch I shall be back to stay at this hostel and shall recommend this accommodation to others while holidaying in Christchurch.

No complaints

SF2 cabinet & Netflix in the TV room, property cater more for locals due to it's old look inside, , good garden out the back & the kitchen showed the recipes for 3 of kiwi made foods

Only 2 showers were going as 1 was out of order. This place ain't bad but may have to book a private room when I return again

The public area, room, and toilet are comfortable and tidy, and their hostel has a bedroom toilet exclusively for women, so you don't have to worry about privacy and safety。
