Bathroom is small and sliding door fell off once.

Great location, practically in sight of the water. Good kitchen and common rooms, also has cat.

Room smelled musty and one of the bunks didn't look like it had been cleaned properly. Kitchen was today but guests were leaving dirty cutlery in the drawer etc.

Great location, plenty of street parking

I found the beds very firm, didn't have the best sleep. Very noisy, I understand this is accommodation for travellers, I didn't think it would be noisy on a Sunday night too.

Great location. Has all the facilities you need for a short stay

The internet keeps dropping especially during busy hours like afternoons & night time. On Easter Sunday the internet was down fr afternoon until we left @ 8am on Easter Monday. Small things but really helpful is the lack of hooks to hang even jackets, no hooks in bathrooms either. Parking is scarce. We were told to park in their sister motel’s parking across the road but only have 10 spaces there so very limited. We opted to park along the road but quite full as well.

Accessibility to the main Paihia centre.

Nice beds and overall facilities. I didn't meet the staff because I arrived and left outside of office hours.

Ants in the staff cupboards in the kitchen which was a little off putting, and a lack of folks for dinner, but nothing major

Great location, and nice sized rooms which were clean and comfortable,

You could hear a bit of the other rooms/lounge rooms due to the walls being thin but nothing crazy or at late/early hours

Very comfortable room, we enjoyed having our own bathroom.

Bunkbeds don’t have curtains, so a little less privacy. Lockers were broken.

Nice hostel with decent rooms and great shared kitchen/communal area.

Although people came in to remake the beds for new arrivals, the floor under the beds was never vacuumed, while i was there at least, as when i came there was rubbish underneath and it was still there when i left. Also there wasn’t many spoons in the cutlery box!

Comfortable and well located. Gorgeous beach a 5 minute walk away

Staff were cool about us building our bikes in the common room, ready to ride the TA and there was a recycling centre across the road to dispose of the boxes There's a lovely relaxed vibe and it was great to meet and chat with other travellers. Everything we needed for our stay.

Not to keen on the shared bathroom, we had intellectual disabled ladies who would come out of the showers not knowing anyone was there. shock for them and others.

Close to everything you need.

Good location , good kitchen facilities

None of the staff were particularly friendly - in fact, most seemed pretty miserable to be working there. I know they're likely backpackers working for accommodation, but they should still be expected to do a decent job. Cleaning in the rooms and communal areas needs improving - it's clear cleaning is done, but it's not thorough. The towels and bathmat in our room were also covered in grubby marks and stains. The WiFi setup is awful. Having to log in with a new code every day was annoying, plus the signal was poor and regularly cut out. On a practical note, it would be useful to have a shelf in the bathroom and either a small rail/ hooks to hang clothes.

Decent budget option for a private room in Paihia. The room was a good size for two people, with a comfy bed, a decent shower and a free-standing fan. We were a little apprehensive about noise from communal areas in the evenings, but we needn't have worried as other guests respected the hostels' quiet hours policy. The communal kitchen was well equipped.
