Top 10 Hostels hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand

May 1, 2023 Esmeralda Fenner

Staggering beauty and heart-pumping thrills await in the resort town of Queenstown, which is also known for its Hobbits—much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Queenstown for the kayaking, bungee jumping, jetboating, white-water rafting, hiking and skiing. More mild-mannered adventurers can take a quiet cruise through nearby Milford Sound, part of the Fjordland National Park World Heritage area, or sample South Island pinot noir from one of the region's 75 wineries.

I've written an awesome review for this place once but this time it wasn't as good. Mainly because I think the room smelled like bbq because of the outside restaurants even though we had the windows etc closed. It was also super bothersome chatting or calling to turn the aircon on and off every time we needed. Guessing sometimes the phone is not manned so you have to wait 10-20 mins for your request to be met. The rest of the stay was okay, it really is just a budget place to stay but I guess for it's price it is okay :)

This backpackers really made our winter stay in Queenstown very memorable. We stayed in one of the second-storey family rooms with fantastic views of the Remarkables. The room was always warm with comfy beds, plenty of storage space and a fridge. A few things stood out for us: very helpful and friendly staff (nothing was ever a problem), very clean bathrooms, clean kitchen with plenty of cutlery and crockery, free meal on Wednesday night, free bike hire (quality bikes!), spa and within walking distance to all major attractions in the town. I'd highly recommend this backpackers!

Fantastic location so could walk into town. Car parking was a bit challenging as there is very limited space. The room was small and basic with good kitchen facilities. We had a room with a private bathroom and toilet which was great.

One of the dirtiest places I’ve stayed at! Water was brown coming out of the taps which was undrinkable, kitchen was disgustingly dirty showers had mould all through them and toilets were dirty. The shady manager was never around and wouldn’t clean the hostel up when asked on numerous occasions...
