I really enjoyed stayed at Tahuna Pod Hostel. First, the location is just perfect, a short walk away to everything but peaceful away from all the noises and chaos of Queenstown, and perched on the top of the hill so you have an amazing view of the lake, especially during sunset. The staff is fantastic and keeps the place friendly but clean and orderly. And the bed is so so comfortable. If you are coming to Queenstown, stay here.

The hostel is right behind the main bus stop in Queenstown and very easy to get around town. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The female’s dorm has its own bathroom which is convenient. The bed is comfy.

I was accommodated in a single room. First, the staff was super nice and helpful. The kitchen's equipment examplary. Nice lounge area. Everything seemed modern and clean. But: my room was quite loud. There was constant droning sound that earplugs couldn't get rid of. When somebody used the bathroom next door it became almost comically noisy. There was a large window but only a simple blind to cover. Also, it was quite cold both in the room and the bathroom but there were no heaters. When you pay a high rate like that you should expect more.

Staff were great, room was great, only thing that was disappointing was the TV, it only had netflix which was fine but it would buffer so I couldn't watch any tv. I ended up watching on my phone.
