The property and staff itself are amazing but it is located on one of the most dangerous intersections in Hamilton. Absolutely worth the stay but just be careful of the area.

The Pring Guesthouse is a warm and welcoming, extremely clean house with lots of fun little extras including a full kitchen, free cereal and treats, a bookcase full of board games, and tv and books for entertainment. There’s lots of fun maps and brochures about the Hamilton area. The hosts were very kind and welcoming and helpful and the hostel is quite charming and affordable. I would stay again. Thank you Pring Guesthouse!

Amazing place to stay! Quiet, safe, clean, home-like, and the hosts are super sweet. The house deco has character and feels very welcoming. The only thing is the upper bunk I had was a little squeaky...but no biggie. I enjoyed my time here and will come back when I visit Hamilton again.
