Fodor's Review:

The best-equipped budget place in town, this hostel manages to keep the lid on its rates despite a Queen Street locale. It has air-conditioning and a security system that you would normally expect to pay a lot more for. Accommodation varies from a six-bed bunk room to family rooms with bath. The lounge and Internet café area act as the hostel's social hub, where you'll also find a travel center and even a New Zealand job-search service, should you be compelled to cancel your return flight. Pros: Inexpensive, secure, range of rooms. Cons: Noisy and not private.

  • Hotel Details: 71 rooms, 35 with bath

  • In-hotel: 2 restaurants, bar, laundry facilities.
