Only here briefly, but had a good experience! There are some hostels with nicer rooms in Queenstown, but I had no complaints. Centrally located it's easy to walk anywhere around town, and the staff are very friendly and helpful if you want to book activities More

Just stayed at the YHA in Queenstown. It was my first youth hostel experience in over a decade. It was a good one. The location was great. Easy to get to the pick up location for the Intercity bus tours and trips. Shared a room with 4 other woman, and it was easy. No one really spoke to each other,... More

Lots of stairs up to the kitchen area, not so... More
