5 Small but (almost) perfectly formed
I liked this place a lot. It's half an hour's walk from the city centre, but only a couple of minutes from the beautiful Hamilton gardens and the river walk. Rooms were spotless and comfortable and I don't think any had more than four beds. Probably had the friendliest atmosphere of any of the hostels I stayed in during five weeks in New Zealand, both from the staff and the other guests. Kitchen is tiny, and lounge quite small also, although everyone's so chilled out this doesn't seem to matter. Also is probably a bathroom or two short. But these things don't matter when they have everything else so right.

3 This is a good hostel in Hamilton. It is in a quiet suburb which is close to the beautiful Hamilton Gardens and they collect from the bus station. The facilities are all adequate although the lounge is small. There is a nice outdoor area and the owner is helpful.
