Hugo & Carters Backpackers & Motel, hotel in Tauranga

Situated in Tauranga, 13 km from ASB Baypark Stadium, Hugo & Carters Backpackers & Motel features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge.

The staff were fantastic and reception opening hours were long so you could speak to them up until 9pm. The double en-suite room was like a little cabin, shower and toilet facilities were lovely.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location, so many bars and eatieries in the area. Very clean and spacious shared areas and overall a great vibe in the hostel, which I enjoyed as a solo female traveller. Loved how serious they are about the quiet hours too!

    This was a very comfortable and affordable stay in a great location for my purposes. The shower was one of the best I've encountered at a New Zealand hostelry. The kitchenette was well appointed.

    Great location, near lots of restaurants and cGe and 5mins walk from the bus stop to take you to Mt Maunganui which has the best beaches! The balcony is amazing, and so lovely to have breakfast and dinner out there. Rooms are pretty basic but beds are comfy, the bunk beds shake alot but that's pretty standard in hostels. Busy hostel with lots of people.
