Quiet part of Greymouth but not far from places to eat and shop. Hostel is dated but OK. The space heater is on top of the bed headboard and switches off after certain time. Our time there, Greymouth was cold and wet so quite inconvenient to wake up to turn it on again. Yes, they did give us extra blankets.

While some parts may be old and in need of a spruce up (or new carpet), the overall cleanliness of both the room, and all of the facilities, was absolutely fantastic. You can tell the owners really care about great, friendly service.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A great stay at a location that is easily walkable around the downtown area, although the hostel itself is a bit outside of the downtown area and is a bit of an industrial area. Really not a problem... just for knowledge. Everything was there that a hostel should offer and easily accessible. Perfect for my stay in Greymouth as I was passing through and just needed a shower and a bed.

Affordable and best option in Greymouth

Very nice staff, always eager to help. The rooms were freshly painted and clutter free with a sink in each room. There is no closet nor shelving for storing the luggage or hang clothing for longer stays however they might have larger room with storage capacity for extended stays. The laundry facility is superb. The kitchen is large and clean. Highly recommended as it is the only affordable place in Greymouth and it is my j better than other hostels or even hotels in the southern part.
