I've stayed in many backpackers over the years. This place definitely exceeded my expectations... 😁 Bed was comfortable, staff were friendly and welcoming, kitchen facilities were well appointed, well-priced and the location, directly opposite the police station and right in town... 👍

All hostels in Rotorua

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is very social and gets a cozy vibe to it, that does make it feel like home when staying a longer time! I had an amazing time meeting so many new people at the backpackers and enjoyed the time there a lot

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at. Lovely layout of the rooms, comfy bunk beds with curtains. Toiletries in the spacious showers. Plenty of lounge space although I didn't have a chance to use it.
