This is one hostel I keep coming back to because it's well maintained. The location and the room are strong reasons to come back. No other hostel in Queenstown is as well maintained as this one

There's nothing I really didn't like. One thing I'd suggest as a room for improvement is the kitchen - instead of using tea towels to dry the utensils, I'd prefer an alternative solution, because most of the time, utensils taken out of storage still have water on them and aren't dried correctly
