Big hostel but the manager keeps the capacity limited, so that your dorm is never full - max. 2-3 people per dorm! Cute cat and dog onsite. I could borrow a bicycle for free! You can also book Tongariro transport very cheaply. The best WiFi I've encountered in a long time. If you need to do something online, this is your place!

Great location with safe parking at rear of building. Spacious room with big spa bath. Quiet location even though relatively close to town. Taxi trip to the restaurants was only $10 each way. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location near a natural hot spring, cheap for Taupo. Also some cool history, although you have to go looking for the information! And has aircon.

Great courtyard set-up which felt safe with a relaxed vibe.Everything seemed to work and staff were very helpful. Grateful for a discount with my Scottish Youth Hostel card.

Really like the privacy of curtains on the bunk beds and how sturdy they were. Also the convenience of a plug in each bunk for charging devices safely. lockable cupboards for possessions were good. The hostel had a welcoming and friendly vibe and good for socialising but not too loud late in the night too, so a great balance as a solo traveller. Facilities clean and tidy, cleaned well every morning.

The best hostel kitchen we've seen - really big space with enough hobs, pots and pans etc for multiple people to cook at once. Lots of fridge space. Very Clean. Lots of fridge space. Great views. Well heated bedroom. Easy check in. Parking on site (although pretty crammed and we did get blocked in by another car). Great location near the centre of town.
