“This place has a genuine personality that cuts through Queenstown's more commercial offerings, with a location that truly puts you right where you need to be. The communal areas, both inside and out, feel well-used and welcoming, and my exploration suggested the beds offer a surprising level of comfort for a backpackers. The staff's helpfulness seems to be a consistent highlight, underpinning the solid value found here.”
