Liked: Staff & service
The staff member who greeted me was amazing he was so helpful and enthusiatic I would return purely becasue of the servie he provided. I know it was Rotorua but in the area near the kitchen it smelted like people had not showered for weeks were in the rooms and the carpet and kitchen floors were dirty and I did not want to walk around in barefeet.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Centrally located so great for getting around. Friendly and helpful staff, helpful about providing bus information etc. Luggage storage in a locked room. Lots of kitchens and lounges. I had a private room with ensuite which was fine, a bit basic but everything I needed. Only thing I didn't like was that the bed linen was very pilly which was a bit uncomfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location, good facilities. Not sure if i was off-season but it seems a very quiet hostel. Huge lounge/communal space on third floor. Women’s bathrooms have hairdryer and straighteners in them which is a nice touch. Free parking a short walk away. The top bunk bed did not have a bar or edge so may be an issue if you toss and turn in your sleep. Overall a great stay-I ended up staying here twice during my travels. The Lotus cage next door also does good breakfast.

Great location. Plenty of facilities for number of guests that were staying while I was there, nothing felt crowded. Everything was clean. Big lockers to store your bags in which is good. Free parking a short walk away too!

Rotorua is a pretty small town so you can walk to pretty much everywhere in the “downtown” area. Can walk to start your tours and shuttles within 5 minutes.
