Linda “Fantastic hostel in Dunedin, 100 %”

The attitude of the staff really set this hostel apart from other places I’ve stayed whilst travelling in New Zealand. The kitchen was chock full of different pastas, cooking oil, herbs and spices, coffee tea and sugar. Yesterday there was even multiple packets of different bread rolls laid out on the tables with signs that said please help yourself. I’ve never seen so much generosity from a hostel that I’ve stayed in ever and I travel a lot. Even though I stayed in a 10 bed dorm, the way the bunks were positioned made it feel like there was more space. Each bed had power and a shelf and a lamp. The beds were really comfortable and even the colour of the linen made the place feel light and airy . Full marks to the staff there, especially James who was so sweet and always remembered my name when he saw me, he was never in a hurry and he always had time for a chat.
