   I have been staying at the hostel from July onwards. Recently the organization upgraded their Wi-Fi and improvement in data uploading and downloading speeds has been amazing. I am very happy staying here and it suits my current needs.

   I stayed from march to mid april. The staff were lovely during my stay. I was attended to whenever I forgot my key, even in the middle of the night. However, I'd like to report a long-term resident for breaking the hostel rules. Is there any way I'd be able to do this? As i don't think having an emotionally unstable alcoholic taking up permanent residency in the hostel is the goal of the hostel.

   As a backpacker this would be good for a night stopover, but wouldn't recommend particularly other than that as it's not in a particularly nice area (one of the few places in NZ I haven't felt completely safe and almost nothing to do) , and it wasn't very social. Majority of people seem to be living there long term, so just not quite the vibe, but I imagine it's great if that is what you want from it. It was really nice to have a spacious room to yourself for a reasonable price, and the kitchen and other facilities were good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. My only real criticism is that the room wasn't as clean as I would've liked as it was quite dusty, and there was quite an unpleasant smell that I wasn't sure if it was just an unusual scented cleaning product or something else. The bedding and towel provided were very clean however.

   Good value for money as you pay $50 and get your own private room, which is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is quite small and doesn't have much storage place, and there's no communal area. Doesn't feel like a Backpacker's hostel and there's not a sociable atmosphere, but I guess its not marketed at that. The WiFi was pretty bad, kept on disconnecting.

   The staff is super friendly. Located nice and quiet. Communal areas are clean. Everything works. Private room for a slightly higher price of a hostle. Nothing to complain about. Would recommend to any backpacker that looks for a place to get things organized or just needs some privacy and a good clean bed.

   Staff are careless rude obnoxious unfriendly and not the best to look at when walking through reception. Awful atmosphere and the place is full of dirty old men who live there full time. Would never recommend this hostel

   Stayed here for over a month, Staff and people are friendly. Location of the hostel is in good proximity to Pac n Save, the lake and CBD. Cleaners do a great job to maintain the shared facilities.

   Had a fantastic food dining experience in the chapel there. They hire it for private functions. Cool spot. Heaps of history painted on the walls

   Myself and my girlfriend stayed here for 10 days and as a frequent traveller I was amazed by this hostel! By far the best I've stayed in, I would recommend staying here if you want to mingle with some of the nicest people around Hamilton. Our room was a great price, the cleanliness of the place was great, the kitchen area was nicely spaced (at least on the 3rd floor) and the staff were helpful, and friendly from the moment we walked up the driveway! I have come across good hostels and bad hostels but I assure you this is one of the good ones. We are looking forward to our stay again in the near future, and thank you to everyone who made the experience so good!
