Loft 109 Backpackers Hostel, hotel in Tauranga

Set in Tauranga and with ASB Baypark Stadium reachable within 10 km, Loft 109 Backpackers Hostel offers a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace.

Let's say I liked the location but it wasn't great either. It's close to downtown but, for example, a normal supermarket is still very far away. But the location is the only thing that I didn't dislike.

Hello! Accommodation, hotel in Tauranga

Set within 9.2 km of ASB Baypark Stadium and 9.4 km of ASB Baypark Arena, Hello! Accommodation offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Tauranga.

Nice staff, room was adequately sized, no issues with noise at all - patrons were respectful. Great location for things at the Tauranga domain and not far to the Mount. Decently sized fidge, kettle and microwave in our room was great.

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.
