Very cosy. Bed too soft and my neck feels uncomfortable.

best location, very friendly staff, very clean room and facilities, and with complimentary breakfast, the best value in town.

It was pretty terrible. I checked out at 9 o'clock and wanted to go back to the kitchen to make breakfast, but the receptionist said, "Sorry, you have already checked out, so you have to leave here. I'll give you 10 minutes." At that time, I had just finished cooking the vegetables in the pot. Then I had to throw away all the vegetables, clean up my kitchen utensils and wash the dishes.
Moreover, this hostel has no elevator, which is very unfriendly to travelers with luggage. You have to drag your luggage up very high floors.
Also, their luggage storage is keyed 🔑locked. Every time you go to get something, you have to ask the receptionist for the key, and he must follow you. The tone of the slogans posted everywhere in this hostel is also quite demanding. In short, I don't feel that guests are treated as guests.
It may also be because this is the only youth hostel with decent conditions and good location in the city center of Dunedin, so they are qualified (? idk

When I checked out, there was no one there. When I came back after 11 o'clock, I was fined 20 dollars for being late to check out. It was unreasonable. The bed was shaking and I was scared. It was still cold at 5 o'clock and it was so dazzling that I couldn't sleep.

It's very close to the city center, so it's noisy until 5 or 6 in the morning.
The kitchen and bathroom are very clean and have hot water available.
The disadvantage is that it is on a slope and stairs and the room is very stuffy.
The cheapest price in the city. If you want comfort, you will choose another one.

quite a loud, party-like hostel. I arrived late and was initially given the wrong room - it was uncomfortable having to ask for it to be corrected, given that I’d arrived later in the evening after a long journey and that you have to check in through the bar next door, which I don’t remember any indication to previously. the room was okay, tidy and more or less clean - quite an anxious experience overall

It's an Okey hostel. The kitchen is very small and there isn't room to cook food during peak times. The hostel is pretty clean. The main part is that this hostel is a party hostel. Even though you aren't allowed to drink at the hostel after 8pm a lot of people go out and party, come home late and make noise, be mindful of that.

I liked having my own room. Even though it was pricey, the privacy was what needed at that time. Air circulation was questionable. The room had a stuffy odour by the time I checked out. I decided not to cook since the kitchen facility was very crowded.
