Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great location, good facilities. Not sure if i was off-season but it seems a very quiet hostel. Huge lounge/communal space on third floor. Women’s bathrooms have hairdryer and straighteners in them which is a nice touch. Free parking a short walk away. The top bunk bed did not have a bar or edge so may be an issue if you toss and turn in your sleep. Overall a great stay-I ended up staying here twice during my travels. The Lotus cage next door also does good breakfast.

Great location. Plenty of facilities for number of guests that were staying while I was there, nothing felt crowded. Everything was clean. Big lockers to store your bags in which is good. Free parking a short walk away too!

Rotorua is a pretty small town so you can walk to pretty much everywhere in the “downtown” area. Can walk to start your tours and shuttles within 5 minutes.
