One of the front desk staff members did not answer my questions, even though the screen indicated we could approach them to book activities. The same employee was also unable to explain how the laundromat worked. That said, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The common areas are practical and well equipped for cooking, including spices and other products left behind by fellow travelers.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
How could this hostel be rated 9.2 when the doors are slammed nonstop, the washrooms are pretended to be cleaned and there's NO A/C nor a Fan at least in the rooms. How can you sleep in a furnace, in a Sauna? Fans are supplied in the private rooms only. Are we non human beings? Staff are nice; beds noisy.

This was a great place to stay, close to the arts centre of Christchurch and good clean rooms. Only issue was the cleaning of the bathrooms at 8am in the morning - a time when I think people would be using them. I think it would be better to do this after check out time.
