The parking situation is a bit of a nightmare, but it's Tauranga. In the room I was there was someone there for a while, so the room was full of her stuff, it felt a bit crowded to be fair.

The hostel is super central. I've only stayed a night, but I wouldn't have minded staying a bit longer :) It was clean and well-maintained.

Parking is an expensive nightmare, it is definitely turning people away from Tauranga. Small kitchen space, in summer would be packed. Price is also not so affordable, but that's the times now.

Location, it was tidy, staff where friendly. It was looked after and the renovations and time they put in shows.

The advertisement is confusing. It says that the $59 we paid for is for 2 guest and a room. When we arrived at the reception, we’ve been told that it’s strange how it shows up that it’s for 2 guest, but I actually paid for one guest only. So we ended up paying another $58 for another guest and we’re still on a shared room. We’re also not comfortable that we’ll still be sharing room with others so we pay another $42 so we can have our own room. It’s very confusing that it shows up in the mobile app that we paid for 2 guest and a room. I know it’s a little bit too cheap for a room but it’s because the advertisement is confusing, it also went through even I selected for 2 adults. All in all we just got confused and felt a little bit odd on that. Kindly review the advertisement for room sharing that cost $59. And try to book for 2 guest and what will it show. Thanks.

The room was quite small for the amount of people staying there. Kitchen was also a bit too small (especially the fridge..). Lots of noise from the bars in the street on the weekend.

Comfortable bed, nice common are and clean bathrooms. Lockers under the beds. Great location.

Having booked very late with most accomodations fullWarm and fine, this turned out to be a backpacker's place, where they, upon seeing us pensioners, upgraded us to a room with private bathroom. Basic but fine!

The noise outside of the building. Close to bars so some noise til late. But i am an older traveller and did need to get up early. For some they would be out there anyway having a good time😄

Excellent hostel in the best neighborhood. We had the double room with en-suite which was very comfortable. The common spaces were high quality and staff friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

Parking is a bit difficult but that’s a town problem in general, the matress is a bit worn through

My only downside were the beds as they were not the most comfortable.

The kitchen was spacious, and everything in the hostel was kept very clean and tidy. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful!

The train roaring past in the middle of the night.

The fact that I could just walk in and be directed to a bed with a fantastic view in a matter of minutes. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and I had no hassles what so ever.

Breakfast was ok , I did enjoyed lunch at Nectar Cafe very reasonable price and tasty

The security of the rooms depended on the doors closing on their own, so there was always the sound of slamming doors. Not a big problem, just something that's normal in a hostel.

Great location, and the view from the common room and balcony was fabulous. We also liked the noticeboard with local jobs advertised.

Didn’t have aircon but was provided a fan however still quite warm at night in the room. The only plug was in the corner with 2 outlets so couldnt keep things charged next to you.

Stayed in a 6 bed female dorm where everyone I met was lovely. Bed was comfy and clean. The place was easy to find and right next to restaurants so didn’t have to go far for food.

Got quite hot in the room, even with a fan and window open. Toilets are hard to access because of the position of .

Location, view, comfortable beds, clean.

The en-suite made the room very hot and stuffy, not much ventilation and the windows didn’t open wide enough. It’s very loud, I could hear a club nearby until 4am so I didn’t sleep.

The location was great during the day, I liked how it was an older building with lots of open space. The rooftop is a nice touch.

Bathroom and showers were dirty Staff was vacuuming at 8:15 in the morning and woke everyone up Mattress was too soft and bed quite small for two people Dishes and towels in the kitchen were dirty
