While some parts may be old and in need of a spruce up (or new carpet), the overall cleanliness of both the room, and all of the facilities, was absolutely fantastic. You can tell the owners really care about great, friendly service.

Lovely old time hostel form a converted hotel. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and tidy. Only issue was heater being wall mounted with a timer which would click off every 30 minutes. Not ideal on a very cold night.

A nice no-thrill hostel where the staff are super friendly and helpful. In NZ west coast, hostels are for travellers of all ages. So if you are concerned (like I did) about staying with a bunch of college, worry not. The shared bathroom is not that much a hassle. It's like staying at a friend's or relative's place. There is a sink inside each room. The walk from the train station is 10 min. Do bring your own soap, shampoo, and conditioner. For what they lack in toiletry, they make it up with a gigantic kitchen with all the pots, pans, utensils...you ever need for a trip.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A great stay at a location that is easily walkable around the downtown area, although the hostel itself is a bit outside of the downtown area and is a bit of an industrial area. Really not a problem... just for knowledge. Everything was there that a hostel should offer and easily accessible. Perfect for my stay in Greymouth as I was passing through and just needed a shower and a bed.

Affordable and best option in Greymouth

Very nice staff, always eager to help. The rooms were freshly painted and clutter free with a sink in each room. There is no closet nor shelving for storing the luggage or hang clothing for longer stays however they might have larger room with storage capacity for extended stays. The laundry facility is superb. The kitchen is large and clean. Highly recommended as it is the only affordable place in Greymouth and it is my j better than other hostels or even hotels in the southern part.
