The Hostelz.com Review
Resort Lodge, a BBH hostel, is located on a little, quiet street, but is still near the main road of Shotover Street. If you are traveling by Intercity/Newmans coaches, the hostel is only two streets away from their bus stop along Athol Street. From there, you walk along Shotover Street toward Stanley Street where you can see a Four Stars Supermarket. The next street will be Stanley Street, although it is not clear as the road sign indicating the street cannot be seen. The road sign you will see is Gorge Road -- Resort Lodge is easy to locate from that point as you just need to turn right from Shotover Street and you can see that the hostel is not far into Henry Street. The street may not be well lit, but at least the hostel is.
Resort Lodge does look resort-like with its multiple large-panel windows, plant boxes, flowering plants, and al fresco lounge at the rooftop. The interior is painted in bright pastels with fittings in similarly bright colours. As you step in the front door, you can see the reception straight ahead -- ring the bell if there is no one there. Beside the door, there is a side table stacked with brochures for activities in and around Queenstown, and town maps.
The rooms inside the hostel are arranged interestingly. Rather than rows and levels of rooms, they are grouped in clusters/sections. In each cluster, there is a bunch of rooms which may be bunks or private rooms. Each cluster has at least a toilet with shower facilities. Some clusters even have a kitchenette. There is a main kitchen on the first level and two other kitchenettes on other levels.
Rooms are decent-sized, even for bunks, with generous space to move around. There are not more than four beds in each bunk and every room has a TV. The facilities are more than sufficient with a separate laundry area, a spacious TV room, dining, and chill-out area at separate levels, and an Internet area with two computers that work on Internet cards dispensed by a coin-operated unit next to the computers. Overall, it is a clean and pleasant environment that is also very well located.
The ever-popular Fergburger is a short five minutes' walk along Shotover Street. The location of the hostel is also good, with the supermarket just a street away and a short walk to a few of the grooviest pubs in town.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
So LOUD Booked a double room which turned out to be a regular dorm room with 4 bunks -- the double bed was the bottom of one of these bunks. Check in girl was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately she couldn't make up for the fact that there was a huge gap above the top of the door (similar to stall toilets) and our room was right next to the TV room. Noise went on till 11:30pm -- it sounded like the party was in our room. Other than this glaring oversight the hostel was fine. Not the cleanest either. — Anonymous , Ireland (2011-01-09) Awsome and helpful We had had bit of a time with the flights and sickness and this hostel was our good luck. We arrived late to a good sized room with heater and phone and comfy beds. The next day when we lost our keys they had no issues and helped us look for them for ages. They even drove us to the airport to get some more keys for the car! — Fewtrells , New Zealand (2009-09-19) Poor Rude lady on reception. Poor facilities. Power kept going off. Worst place I have stayed in! — Henry , UK (2009-08-10) We really loved staying here. The owners we really nice. The rooms were spacious and always clean. All the people staying there were friendly and loved a good party. Would stay here again for sure! — emma and katie (aus) (2006-08-07) We got the whole of one of the top floors all to ourselves. It was adequate and the people seemed friendly. The kitchen was well equipped and the other guests were pleasant. — Emma (2005-07-13) Great, clean with honest staff. I left my iPod in one of the rooms. They found it, took the time to charge it, connect it to their computer, find my e-mail address and then contacted me! I'll go there every time. — Anonymous (2005-02-07) The Dutch girl on check-in was arrogant, rude and ignorant. She didn't have our booking and made a huge deal out the fact she couldn't remember our names (after we told her three times while we were standing there). she seemed to really enjoy repeating this fact to us! I overheard her messing up several other peoples check-ins, too, and telling them to come back in a couple of hours when she could sort it out (this was at 7 p.m.!) The rooms were small and cramped, with tiny little-kids style camp bunk beds. The showers were good — clean and spacious with plenty of hot water. The kitchen's okay, but hopeless if there are more than four of you in there (which there usually is!). The TV room is cool, too, but not when it gets invaded by people with stinking sweaty feet (Germans, you know who you were!) Basically, the place is pretty sucky. — Anonymous (2005-01-02)
