    Great value for the price, with a comfortable ensuite room and friendly staff. The location was perfect for exploring Mt Ruapehu and the climbing wall was a fun bonus.

    Breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety and fresher options.

    This hotel offers great value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The location in the National Park is perfect, with easy access to restaurants and nearby activities. The staff are friendly and accommodating, always quick to respond to any queries. The rooms, especially those on the ground floor, are clean and well-maintained, with all basic amenities provided. The added bonus of a private bathroom for just $89 is a great deal. Plus, the breakfast offered is delicious and satisfying.

    Despite the overall positive experience, there is room for improvement in terms of the bathroom facilities.

    We loved staying at this hotel during our visit to the national park. One of the best aspects is that it is located very close to the mountain, which made accessing the hiking trails hassle-free for us. Furthermore, the hotel facilities were fantastic, and we enjoyed using the clean and well-equipped kitchen during our stay. Additionally, the hotel offers parking facilities which added to our convenience. The staff were also very helpful when it came to transportation, and they provided us with valuable information on the nearby walking routes.

    It was all superb.

    Nestled amidst the breathtaking mountains, this hostel is just a stone's throw away from the trail for a picturesque hike. the ensuite rooms are cozy, spotless, and adorned with modern amenities. Their hospitable staff provides exceptional service throughout your stay. You can start your day with a sumptuous breakfast in the spacious dining area before embarking on your adventure. the onsite equipment rental ensures that you don't have to go far for your leisure needs. the scenic location and proximity to all local attractions make this hostel the perfect base camp for your mountain holiday.

    The communal kitchen often gets crowded, causing a minor inconvenience; however, given the hostel's popularity, it is understandable.

    We had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The location was great for accessing hikes in Tongariro National Park and skiing at Whakapapa. The kitchen facilities were good and the room had a heater, which was perfect for the chilly weather. The staff were friendly and the views from the hostel were beautiful. I would recommend this hostel for a one-night stay.

    Spending my Xmas vacation at a backpackers hostel was enjoyable and affordable. The hostel provided guests with basic amenities, including a clean kitchen where we could cook our meals, and comfortable beds with clean linen. Its convenient location was convenient for quick access to outdoor adventures.

    The thin walls were a significant downside. It was difficult to have a peaceful sleep when the room next door had noisy occupants.
