Spent 1 night with my family (2 adults, 13 &10yr old). Enjoyed our stay at this small backpackers. Family room with en-suite was clean and warm. Common areas welcoming. Even managed a family game of monopoly. Location was perfect - short walking distance to shops and thermal pool. Tristan was friendly giving us local information. Would definitely use again.

Verified traveler
Okay price for location, the manager was really friendly and welcoming, the kitchen and seating area were nice and the rooms were very comfortable.
Verified traveler
We liked the way the staff greeted us, that everything in the kitchen was labeled with instructions set out so we knew how to use the facility.
Just one small negative was that we couldn’t reach the bathroom louvre window to close it and this made the shower area very cold. Otherwise loved it

The staff were friendly. The building is creaky due to its age. Bedding clean and fresh. Great location in town.

My stay at the Hanmer backpackers was very comfortable and relaxing. Yoko was so helpful and welcoming, it was like staying in a home away from home.

Central chalet very close to thermal spa. Dorm had separate single beds and kitchen good size.

The girls in the room were very loud at night, even though there were several common areas.
Id ask to be moved to another room and was charged extra even though it was late at night. The receptionist even knocked on my door to come and make me pay the extra $15 dollars. She took my card upon check in so im not sure why i was made to get up out of bed after having complained and moved rooms. Service was disappointing.

Small quiet hostel although some queues for the bathroom when dorm rooms are full.

Booked a 1st floor private room, and it was great. Nice and clean. The 1st floor has 2 community bathrooms, each containing an individual shower and toilet.

Overnight stay while travelling solo
My night stay was organised for the end of a 1200km motorcycle ride. Organising a late book in was easy and bed was really comfy. Perfect place for a solo stay.

Cozy Hostel
hostel was cozy but with a tad too many rules. however cleanliness is kept to a maximum even the toilet is constantly mopped and dried. location was a 10mins walking distance away from main town and conical hill trek.
Richard
A lovely stay in hostel and village.
Verified traveler
Great location, friendly staff.
The location is perfect, handy to everything. The lady who checked me in was extremely friendly, just lovely; as were the other staff members I came across. The place was clean and had a nice homely feel. The bathrooms were a bit dated, but that would be my only not so positive observation. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.
