I arrived before 3.00pm got the key from the safety box and waited in the lounge till 3.00. The room wasn’t cleaned at all and the old bed clothes still there. I rand the phone number for the night manager (the only number inside in the hostel) he came and was complaining that I rang before his shift at 8.00pm! The room was cleaned I got into it by 3.30 pm but in my opinion the duvet cover was’nt changed and I had my doubts about the fitted sheet. All in all I won’t be going there again.

Very central location. I stayed both in the dorm and a private room. The dorms are actually nice. With individual light, power outlet and a partition between everybed for a little privacy. No towel nor soap provided. No staff is ever present on the spot but they do answer pretty quick to messages on the app

Nice common areas, well equipped, clean and nice decor. Staff friendly and responsive. Room clean, bit faded but good for the price.

Nice spot to stay for a night. Great location to Nelson shops. We had an issue getting into the hostel as they ask you to call reception, however I did not have a cell phone plan to call. I emailed the hostel and did not recieve a response. We eventually were able to get someone's attention, however it would have been easier if a door code was emailed to us prior to our check in time. On the flip side of the coin, this place is very secure :)
