We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights in Queenstown. The location was close to the Queenstown gardens and to many nice restaurants and shopping. We also rented bikes from the hostel and biked all around the Frankton Arm. The hot tub and outdoor seating were a bonus as well!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Private room was good size and comfortable, but there was nowhere to hang a towel. Would’ve been good to have a socket by the bed and a lamp in the room. Hostel itself has nice facilities - good kitchen for cooking, big communal lounge area which always has someone in it, outdoor tables, clean bathrooms and showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is close to town but a short walk up a hill. There were a lot of long term stays which did make the social vibe a bit different and maybe not so geared towards solo travellers just passing through for a few days, although everyone I spoke to was really nice.

Loud with issues - Very Nice staff
Super nice staff in a convenient area. Unfortunately noise was a frequent issue- be it door slamming, drinking, people wrestling at night, blasting music etc. Broken hot tub not fixed the week I was there, kitchen burners not working well, Wi-Fi unable to keep up with the demand on it. The staff are quite helpful and really pleasant- the accommodation is lacking in many areas unfortunately so I cannot recommend it overall.
