Absoloot Hostel Queenstown 4.5 stars

Queenstown

Located on the lakefront in the centre of Queenstown, Absoloot Hostel Queenstown offers rooms with private bathrooms. Guests enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi access in their rooms.

Absoloot Hostel Queenstown offers a choice of private rooms and dormitories. Every room is equipped with heating/air conditioning and security card entry: The best hostel I've ever stayed! :) I'm a solo traveler and stayed in different hostels in different countries all around the world. This one I could range as exceeded my expectations! It is located in the city centre, near the beautiful Wakatipu lake, so all attractions, shops, restaurants & bars are reachable in a few minutes. I stayed in a dormain room and shared it with other 3 guests, the most nicest thing was that the room was large with shelves and hangers to put your own stuff and we had our own shower room. Fantastic! Very large kitchen/dinning room with a spectacular view to the lake, just a good vibe to drink your coffee and enjoy the view. The staff were very kind and helpful. The hostel suggests many services including tours, usage of washing/drying machines and etc. Highly recommended!

Hippo Lodge Backpackers

Queenstown

Located in Queenstown on the side of a hill, just 500 metres from Skyline Gondola and Luge, Hippo Lodge Backpackers features a barbecue and a ski storage space. The popular bars and restaurants of Queenstown are within a 10-minute walk. Room is big and the bed is very comfortable! Staff was very friendly and helped with check in even though we were very late due to flight delay and the wait for public bus. Good evacuation plans in case of fire. Many evacuation routes available depending on where you are. The door of every room is a smoke door so it is tight and heavy. 1 shower room (with toilet) and 1 toilet. Good especially if you need the toilet and 1 is occupied.
