Good location, and clean and comfortable. But don't expect to get much sleep. Quiet hours (10 p.m. - 7 a.m.) are neither respected or enforced. (We saw too late that there is a number to call to report noise, but guests shouldn't have to do a staffer's job, anyway). Our three nights there were like staying in a frat house -- loud partying and music until well after midnight, including one night until 4 a.m. Never again for us.

I guess I should be happy that I had a room in Queenstown. To be clear I didn’t realize that when I booked this that’s it’s a hostel. I just feel it’s ridiculous to pay $289 Cdn as single person and get almost 0 amenities. The bed was excellent but it was a very hot room with no air conditioning only a small fan to move the air. I had no choice but to leave the windows open but my room faced the Main Street so it was very noisy. The curtains were falling down as the rod is not astrong enough to carry the heavy drapes. There also is no bathroom in the room and you have to use a shared bathroom. I have been paying approximately the same price in other busy tourist locations and this room definitely doesn’t meet the standards set by other places.

Room was clean but bathrooms not very clean. Very noisey. From first floor you can hear people upstairs, doors opening and closing. Not super close to down town. Was expensive in comparison to other hostels j stayed at which were much more modern, clean and close to downtown. Front staff super nice and welcoming.

It's obviously a budget option catering to backpackers and younger workers, but it's clean, friendly and central. There's a bit of demand on the shared bathrooms, but nothing you wouldn't expect from accommodation of this type. I would happily stay again.

Great location and comfortable beds! The staff are super nice and helpful (booked through a third party and there were some discrepancies but Haka House resolved them separately with the third party). Enough showers/bathrooms so we never had to wait. Only complaint is that our room was next to the lounge and that door is closed in the evenings (propped open during the day), which meant whenever ppl came and went at night, it kept slamming due to the door mechanism. Just bring ear plugs and you'll be fine.

It was very difficult to find the lodge as there has been construction around. Took us 20 mins to find that place at night. When we got in, we spent another 30 mins trying to figure out why our power points aren’t working. We tried ringing night shift manager and it goes straight into the mail box? We were exhausted at the time and just wanted to relax and CHARGE our phone!!! Turns out the main switch on the switchboard WAS NOT turned on… HOW COULD A GUEST KNOW THIS??? The bathroom. Again, shower does not work. We did not take a shower that night!! On top of that when we got into bed. Bedsheet has the previous customers hair!!! HOW GROSS. THEY DID NOT EVEN CHANGE THE BEDSHEET! I’ve never left a bad review. This is my first time and I will never go back again. The only good thing about the place is. Easy location. Very central.

This is a basic accommodation hotel. I was not familiar with the concept of "back packers" in New Zealand until this experience. The hotel was basically ok but no room had private bathroom. We decided to move to another hotel after our first night instead.
