This hostel was probably one of the best hostels we've stayed at in New Zealand! The double room was located in a separate building away from the main hostel, which housed the dormitories. Not only did we have a bathroom that we shared with only one other double room, but we also had our own kitchen and lounge area! The... More

I stayed at Aspen Lodge for 3 nights and it was great. Its in a good location, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Queenstown and all the attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - it was mostly Mandy when I was there and she goes out of her way to help people and is always... More

Located far enough from the city center not to be involved into night life, this not so big backpacker is the youth inn definition. The location is perfect : not far from the supermarket, not far from the city center, not far from the hill, not far from the bus. The rooms - I was in a 6 beds dorm... More

Pros: 1. Superb location - two blocks from the i-site and city center. 2. The staff is friendly and helpful. 3. Discounts \ benefits when booking attractions from reception. 4. Free parking space, we were allowed to park beyond checkout time. Cons - mainly small annoyances: 1. The rooms are self-locking. This means that you must take the key with... More

This is a great spot in Queenstown. We had a private room ($70) and stayed several nights. There are two lounges and kitchens - a large one for the dorm rooms and a smaller set in a separate building where the private rooms are. This was great because the private room area wasn't very crowded. Everything was clean, there are... More

Got pretty high expectations of the place for a good night of sleep after reading all the reivews on Tripadvisor. Sadly that was not the case for me. Was put in a 4-bed dorm next to the kitchen. Room Clean enough with 4 power points for each bed, unless the heater was plugged in. Could feel the bed springs when... More

Very quiet place with 3 seperate lobbies and kitchens, you can either hang-out with fellow backpakers or just keep... More

We stayed here on two occasions during a group tour - Mandy and her crew are awesome, and the hostel has great facilities! I shared in a three bed dorm, the beds are so comphy and the pillows are too - major bonus. The shower was clean and hot water eventually plentiful, the kitchens well kitted out, and only a... More
