Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Good location and great for backpackers (we don’t like backpacking) so hard to review properly but it had all the facilities it needed. We moved hotels due to the noise during the night from other travellers but it was overall a nice hostel.

    The amount of money that I spent for the stay if I compare it with other backpackers. They are cheap and yet the facilities are the same with other backpackers. It was quite and was very near to town. I like our stay it was good, the staff are friendly.

    I had a great stay, it was comfortable and clean and the staff Sophie and Brett were very kind and helpful! Brett was great helping me get to see Mount Taranaki! The hostel was in a great location and felt safe and comfortable.

    The room was spacious and very clean and warm the decor was a little dated BUT it was one of their budget rooms. So if you wanted more modern just pay a little extra ( we didn't need to as were not in the room much). Great location and staff are super friendly.

    I liked the cosy, friendly vibe of the hostel. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I felt very safe and at ease, and the bed was very comfortable! Great location too, right in downtown New Plymouth and just a few steps away from the waterfront.
