Next to the bed, that could be separated from the common area by a folding screen, there were three different socket outlets for your electric devices, which was very practical and comfortable. Also, the bedside lamp gave enough light to read, so you could stay awake reading as long as you liked without the common light turned on and without disturbing your room mates.

Very friendly, Iya has a great smile ✌️ and a cute cat as well. 🐱 I stayed in a 1 pod room and had a great MTB trip. I enjoyed walking around the park, shopping, eating and walking at night as it was in the centre of town, they also provided storage for the MTB, but l was worried about where to store it as it was an expensive bike, but in the end we stored it in the rental car.

All hostels in Rotorua

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is very social and gets a cozy vibe to it, that does make it feel like home when staying a longer time! I had an amazing time meeting so many new people at the backpackers and enjoyed the time there a lot

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Lovely layout of the rooms, comfy bunk beds with curtains. Toiletries in the spacious showers. Plenty of lounge space although I didn't have a chance to use it.
