Liked: Really nice hostel with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Didn't spend that much time there, but seemed to live up to what they said about themselves.

Disliked: My room smelled like old sweat and was full of flies. Too bad, because over all a good hostel.

Liked: Very nice place. The most helpful and friendly staff I encountered on my trip in NZ. The free breakfast is great, and the chocolate pudding and ice cream even better. Nice to see a hostel go that extra mile to make their guests feel welcome. Free 100 MB of internet! Wow, all the other hostels I stayed at charged for every single byte.
