Queenstown Auberges de Jeunesse

"This is the best hostel I've stayed at in my 17-month trip around New Zealand and Oz. Coco the dog is adorable, and facilities are excellent." … "Loving this place, I was here for two weeks over Christmas and New Year and had the best time, I went away for a week and then came back for another six nights. It's clean and tidy, with free breakfast, comfy beds, and a great atmosphere. I met loads of great people here and it's really good if you're traveling on your own.

"Flipping Fantastic - it's only just opened so everything is sparkly clean and brand new (in fact it's so new that two of the floors aren't even open to backpackers yet!). From the looks of it though they're going to keep this place looking awesome and fingers crossed the staff stay as helpful and friendly as they were. Absolutely fantastic place to stay right in the centre of the city!" … "… ensuite to private ensuite rooms with wide screen Sky TV.

"It was only a hop skip and jump to town or a stumble home after a night out. Everyone was so nice, from the people working there to the people staying there. The atmosphere was wicked. It is the cleanest hostel I have ever seen. Keep up the good work guys." … "Best hostel we stayed in. Clean rooms, amazing views great location and the friendliest staff anywhere (they even bought us a round of drinks at the world bar).

"Amazing, well worth the trip to Queenstown alone! - This hostel came highly recommended and despite high expectations, this hostel exceeded all expectations. From the moment we booked until the moment we checked out, we had an exceptional time. The room was immaculate and the cleaning staff should be highly praised as everything about this hostel was spotless! The linen was fresh, the beds were great, the toilets and showers were clean and convenient. Seriously, this is a massive plus! Furthermore, the location was awesome and the staff are...  more »

"GREAT SPOT - This was a really great spot and would happy come back. 2 minutes out of the town, so easy walk. Showers are hot and powerful, never run out like at some of the place, well not for us anyway. Would recommend." … "I rate the Black Sheep as one of my all time favourite hostels ever. It has fantastic friendly staff; has a real homey atmosphere with a large, cosy lounge; and has the perfect location just overlooking town. If you want a fantastically friendly experience then Black Sheep is the way forward. I have stayed there...  more »

Highly recommended!" … "I was sad to leave this place. It's awesome, one of the best places I've stayed. Mitzi and Dan are quality and know their stuff about the area and activities. The hostel is cozy and clean and there's free soup at 6 every night." … "Top notch - Lovely atmosphere -- super chilled out. Friendly, switched on staff, and relaxing...  more »

"You can't go wrong! - As previously said very professional and friendly. For the price I have got nothing at all to complain about, you can't go wrong. Showers are absolutely bliss, you'll find out! I took the double bedroom which has double doors that opens out to an amazing view and the joinery is made from recycled native timber. They were also kind enough not to charge for my friend who who at the last minute canceled his trip, they had no notice." … "A lovely hostel, ably run by Gemma, the manager who is very friendly and...  more »

"Great little place - Small, clean, cosy, and friendly with free Wi-Fi. Great place, loved Gary the cat." … "Wonderful - It was one of the cheapest and nicest hostels in Queenstown. I found the staff to be friendly and interesting and we ended up staying here for almost two weeks. It was absolutely spotless and had a really nice homely communal area. Stay here if you go to Queenstown! Wish i was still there!" … "Really great hostel - This hostel is fantastic. It's in a great location in Queenstown, just a short walk from...  more »

"Three friends and I just returned from a holiday in Queenstown, and throughout our ten days in Queenstown we stayed at 'Backpackers Downtown Lodge' in Shotover Street. We've all agreed that we had almost just as much fun staying here as we did flying down "Homeward Bound" (a ski run) in two feet of fresh powder at Remarks (a nearby skiing area). The staff at this place deserve a medal for the way in which they go out of their way to make you feel welcome (especially Amy). I would go as far as saying they provided us with the friendliest,...  more »

"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!" … "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!...  more »

"Nice hostel but psycho owner - The hostel is a lovely place but the owner Evan is crazy. Basic things to know are that the hostel is fifteen-minute walk from town and there are much closer hostels in the area. Secondly, minimum three-night stay which means that if you book initially for more and want to change it to less, you cannot. Also only forty-eight-hour cancellation policy (even thought we booked twelve hours in advance so it didn't exist). None of the above points were mentioned when booking on the phone and handing over credit card...  more »

"I stayed here about a year ago when reforms were on. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I would highly recommend a good stay here. If I remember rightly, there are two ways to get to the hostel and one is a nasty hill, which should be avoided" … "This hostel is located just outside the main area of Queenstown, but is within easy walking distance. Its well worth the walk as the view from the hostel is outstanding, right over the lake and mountains, and its quiet too. The hostel is made up of 3 seperate buildings, which was...  more »

"Aspen Lodge advertises itself as the newest of Queenstown hostels but it's a bit rundown and could use a facelift. The sealing around our room's windows and door were coming off, making it tricky to close securely (and keep out noise and cold), and the fabric on the lounge chairs were a bit ratty. If you're a clean-freak you might be a little uncomfortable here. But if all you're looking for is a place to crash after a full day of activities or a full night of partying, it's one of the more conveniently located backpackers in town so you...  more »

"The Flaming Kiwi Backpackers is a nice oasis away from the buzz of Queenstown's activities. The Location Based about two minutes' walk away from Queenstown's centre and bus station, this hostel is ideally located for whatever you want to do with your stay, but at the same time, it is based on a quiet street near to a suburban neighbourhood and supermarket. Needless to say, the neighboorhood is very safe. Adequate parking is also available. Rooms and Bathrooms The dorm rooms vary in size and there are also options for private...  more »
