The location is convenient, but the property is poorly maintained. There’s an unpleasant smell upon entering, and both the kitchen and common areas are dirty and malodorous. The toilets and shower rooms are unisex, which might not suit everyone. The soundproofing is poor, and the street noise at night can be quite disruptive. Additionally, the bunk beds are shaky and creak loudly whenever you move. Stayed here for two nights in December 2024. Affordable price but I wouldn’t come back again.

I am sorry to say that but unfortunately facilities of this hostel isn't good. Old facilities didn't work well. Kitchen was mostly dirty by long term staying workers. And the dust smell makes me feeling sick.. the shower room was ok. No lift.
My mattress was terriblely painful by steel springs over night. But room was warm by heater. Staffs are friendly.. but reception is not always open..... I stayed here for 2 nights.. 42$ per night... sadly Napier has very few backpacker options.... location was very good.. near beach and restaurants.. else

Not enough fridge space, had to throw food out. Guests extrememly noisy after 11pm and sometimes early morning too. Notices need to be displayed in various languages to ask for concern for other people staying. Not really enough showers or toilets for the beds on the top floor, had too queue frequently. As a backpackers needs upgrading fixtures and fittings. On a lighter note, breakfast sat and sun was great and lifts to and fro to the concert were very much appreciated.

Stayed there for three weeks working.
Not recommendable if you have dust allergies since it doesn’t get cleaned unless specifically asked.
Very dirty, the ceiling is partly covered in mold.
The kitchen is also very dirty and there’s not enough storage space. While I was there the fridge didn’t work and didn’t get fixed for 3 weeks, even after several complaints.
The hostel offers car rides to and from work but not reliable since we didn’t get picked up without a warning and had to hitchhike home.
Food got thrown out without warning (even labeled food bags and boxes) because they “looked disgusting“.
The hostel is livable but way too overpriced for the quality they offer:)
