Apartment was great for 4. Thanks for the luggage storage while we did our hike. Double rooms were quite tight for 2 with suitcases. Strange layout but two shared kitchens and plenty of bathrooms

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.

I didn’t realise check in was until 6pm was stressing out that we wouldn’t be able to get in because we were travelling over, my cousin was in Queenstown and she called them up got everything sorted and gave us the key and everything was absolutely perfect so thankful for that. The stay was awesome perfect sized room for me and my friend nice and tidy, really comfortable and staff in the morning were super friendly!! Definitely recommend staying here

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.

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.

6/10 Good

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

2/10 Poor

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.

The hotel is located a bit outside of town, and since there's a main road right in front, you can hear some traffic noise. Like other HAKA properties, check-in is fully automated and self-service. However, there's a curfew and a PIN code required for the entrance door. This information was displayed at the reception, but I wasn’t aware of it. When I returned around 8 p.m., I couldn’t open the door and had to ask another guest inside to let me in. It made me feel that there was a lack of clear information regarding the absence of on-site staff. The room I was assigned was a semi-basement unit facing the street, while the staff room was on the second floor—which made me wonder about the room assignment. My bed was on the top bunk, but there was a large gap between the bed and the wall. Small items would fall through the gap; in fact, a 500ml plastic bottle dropped and hit the light on the lower bunk. I understand that room layouts may vary, but I believe it would be safer if this gap were filled or minimized. The small storage basket near the outlet was better than nothing, but I was still concerned about items falling. That said, the shower and toilet facilities were well-maintained and I appreciated that. While I’ve pointed out a few issues, in terms of cost-performance, this hotel is hard to beat. I would still recommend it to others.

I was on the lower floor and every step a person makes on the floor above it feels like the celing is going to cave in. The walls are extremely thin. Everything in the room was nice and the room smelt nice. The bathrooms were as dirty/clean as the person that previously used them.

Yes, my reservation included parking, however reception asked me to pay $15/each night. Guy called hotel manger and problem was resolved- but insisted that parking is additional to room charges.
