This is an extremely pleasant, well located, central hostel. The rooms are nicely furnished (the doubles even have a TV). The kitchen is a good size, although could do with more cooking areas. There is plenty of seating, including an outside dining area. There is a also a comfy lounge area, and a seperate TV room, with loads of videos. A new pool table has just been installed with a charge of $1 per game. One of the hostel's main attractions is its free spa pool. It's small (only three can get in a time) but it's great, especially after a glacier hike. It is really hot though, which may be a cunning plan to stop people from staying in too long!
There are reasonably priced laundry facilities and bike hire, and plenty of off-street parking. Showers are plentiful, hot, and powerful. It is less than a five minute walk to the grocery store and the main street where are the glacier tours, heli-tours, etc. leave from. There is also a great pub across the road.
Internet is pricey at $2 for 10 minutes, but there is a bus across the road (yes, really) which only costs $5 for one hour!
We would highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
