This is a really fun little hostel with a quirky theme. The rooms each have a different animal theme (from Noah's Ark). There is the Tiger Room, the Zebra room, the Bear Room, the Sheep Room, etc. Inside the room are pictures, posters, murals, and sometimes stuffed toys based on the theme of the given room. The rooms themselves are comfortable and clean and have plenty of space.
The building is old but not rundown. Some renovations are ongoing. The bathrooms and toilets are old but clean. There is a clean kitchen and a comfortable TV lounge. At the back of the hostel there is a pleasant outdoor dining area and chairs.
The hostel has a friendly, fun atmosphere and most travellers seem to enjoy the animal themes. The hostel is a five minute walk from the centre of town, but there isn't a lot to do in Greymouth, so most people are only staying a night or two. The owners are helpful and will happily help arrange activities in the area and onward travel.
