Adventure Queenstown Hostel — Hotel in South Island

I stayed at the AQ for a total of 10 nights.

During that time I got to enjoy all the social events the hostel had to offer on a daily basis. There is always something going on if you want to meet people and submerge yourself in the proper hostel experience. You can also book tonnes of activities directly through them if you wish.

They also offer a washing services for a reasonable $8 and deliver your clothes back to your room meaning you can go on and enjoy your holiday without being stuck inside waiting to do it yourself.

The hostel is in a fantastic location with everything within 5 mins walk (bars, restaurants, lake).

I stayed in a 5 bed all girls dorm with ensuite bathroom. The room was snuggly with a fantastic view of the lake, the bathroom is large and the shower is really powerful.

All the staff that work there are so lovely, they offer great tips and suggestions regaring what to see and expore and they are always working hard cleaning everything from top to bottom to ensure your stay it the most pleasant it can be.

I had a few personal glitches in the week I was staying at AQ and I am so grateful of all the help and support the staff gave me to help me sort out my problems, each and every one of them would always smile, ask me how I was doing and genually cared for my wellbeing. There were so many occasions that they came to my rescue and I want to stress my appreciation to those who really made my stay very special.

I would strongly recommend this hostel and I would certainly come back. I will be sending all my friends there when they come and visit.

Thanks...

I've stayed at many hostels across AU, NZ and Europe but Adventure Queenstown Hostel is hands down the BEST hostel I've ever stayed at. The owner Brett has gone into so much detail to create a hostel that is accommodating for the needs of every young traveler. From the rooms, to the kitchen facilities, communal areas and amazing bathrooms, this hostel is clean, comfortable, modern and yet still so homey. Each bunk bed has a little lamp, powerpoint right next to your bedhead, curtain for privacy and designated storage space for each guest. The bunk beds themselves are also incredibly sturdy and super comfy.

The kitchen facilities are honestly incredible for hostel living - gas stoves, all the equipment you could ever want and devoid of that standard 'industrialized kitchen' feel many hostels have.

The staff are friendly, bathrooms cleaned daily, the layout accommodates to those that want some quiet time in the lounge room or catch up with other backpackers in the kitchen. Some hostels are too big that you don't get to know the others staying there - AQ certainly doesn't have this problem. As a solo traveler, you're bound to make mates and probably mates for life. Quality guests, quality vibes and quality accommodation.

I stayed at AQ for 4 months Winter 2021 and I will always cherish the memories and friends I made here. A massive thankyou to Brett...

The staff was super super nice and friendly! The rooms, the kitchen and the restrooms were clean and modern. All of the things you get there for free (WiFi, storage room, Towles, bedding, bikes and go pros for rental and much much more) were great. They have lots of hooks in the room which is cool as well. Ever bed has it's own reading light, 2 sockets and 2 USB plug-ins and a little pouch that is attached to the wall where you can put your phone or a book. Every room I've stayed in so far has air conditioning. They host stuff like movie nights and barbecues as well, which is a great idea and you get to meet people that way. They have a nice lounge where you can just hang out and watch Netflix or TV, in that room they have 2 computers as well which you can use for free. The Location is central, you are right on the main street of queenstown, but it's not noisy or anything. You can enjoy the sun out on the wrap around balconies. All in all I really really recommend this Hostel and it is worth every dollar you pay for it. It's the best Hostel I've...
