Sat in a room and watched a mouse coing in through the skirtings. The place is filthy and should be closed down. Photos taken in the showers by previous residents show the cleaning is not up to standard.

Stay away this place is a dump!! Read other reviews before booking in.

No refunds is practically theft.We paid and received nothing.Phone call was ridiculous also, no conversation, no reasons, do they even speak English here?Infuriating experience.

It is a view in the Historical Hotel. In good condition. Me and my son enjoy the Piano as well.

The stairs were very high in the tread which made them difficult for me.

I have travelled extensively and stayed at hostels  throughout Nz and the rest of the world, and have to say this place is the worst by far. 

We checked in and were shown two options for our room. We chose the first option, room number 39. I did find it strange that we hadn’t been assigned a room and didn’t see the receptionist take any note of which room we were assigned. The hostel is incredibly dirty however this room didn’t look as dirty as the rest of the place (although I don’t think the sheets are changed in between guests). 

After we checked in we went out for dinner (way too dirty to cook in the kitchen). We arrived back at around 9:30pm and put the key in the room door to find a complete random guy in there! He jumped out of bed in fright and turns out my partner and I were assigned the same as this poor guy. 

I quickly shut the door and called reception, she explained that as there weren’t any bags in the room when I checked in she thought no one had been assigned the room. This is no way to run a hostel!!! Completely unprofessional not to mention dangerous. 

We were assigned a new room in which I slept in all my clothes and used my spare tshirt as a pillow case. 

This place needs to be shut down

Comically bad DO NOT STAY HERE

I liked the price but you get what you pay for. The room was cold, damp and draughty. I would not sleep on the top bunks as they were unstable. Heating was inadequate on 30 minute timers and only one shower and toilet per three rooms or up to a dozen people. Alright if you are young and healthy.

The property needs some investment, light bulbs replaced, fixing dripping taps. Overall its a hostel with good service

It was horrible and cold and dirty and smelly and the price was ridiculous for 1 night in a absolute dive $180..absolutely the worse place ever and i didnt feel safe there at all

Worse place to stay in Dunedin

Good low-budget accommodation. It would have been better if there was some non-see through glass in the upstairs bathroom. And if the reception was available for longer hours.
