I spent two nights in a dorm and can only confirm the nice reviews. Very near to the centre and departure of the tours. Clean and comfy. Free wifi at arrival and soup. Perfect as a base in Rotorua. Would highly recommend it.

This hostel goes above and beyond. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, the bathroom facilities are always clean and the showers are really powerful which is a bonus. The special thing about this hostel is the extra thought that has gone into it, there are hair dryers and straightners available, hot water bottles, blankets in the TV area and... More

Family run hostel with central location. Clean rooms, good bathroom, well stocked kitchen (free tea/coffee and a spice rack to use) and free internet (computers downstairs and access to rotorua wifi upstairs). Combined with helpful hosts what more could you want!

Our stay at the hostel was for about 4 day. The hostel was located in the center of town, about a 2 blocks away from the "i-site" information center. The couple running the hostel were great.

The Internet access was good too and you get quiet a bit free... More

I was a bit worried when we found the hostel as the signage outside looked more like a seedy club than a hostel. Once inside loved this hostel; really cosy with comfortable beds and and the best stocked kitchen I've come across in 5 months of travelling. Definitely a nice antidote to the chain hostels!

Lovely hostel. Especially if traveling on your own. Easy to meet others. Relaxed. Quiet. Great facilities. Reasonably prices. Central. Clean. Nicely decorated. Staff are very helpful and friendly. And of course it's Irish themed. Lovely lovely hostel. My favourite in New Zealand to date.

I have been traveling New Zealand for several months now and stayed in lots of backpackers but this has been the best by along way. The main lounge and kitchen are great for socialising and the facilities are great. The staff make the hostel they are warm welcoming and wise and make you feel at home the momment you walk... More
