Hostels in Canterbury, New Zealand

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic. It's just a few steps from the InterCity bus stop, right next to the Dark Sky Project for stargazing, and there are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Shepherd's Church is only a ten-minute walk away, and Lake Tekapo is right outside the door. The cleanliness was good, and the facilities were quite new. Service: Almost non-existent, as it's a hostel and mostly self-service. The front desk staff wasn't very friendly.

Due to the season, all the hotels in the area were booked out, so I had to stay in a dormitory room in this hotel. The hotel itself is nice. The room was very small, but clean and ok for this type of room. There is a shared kitchen, rest area, as well as laundry which is great. The location is 15-20 mins walk from the town center, but it’s ok. However, the service is not good. It was the male manager who checked me in. When I asked the manager if there was a breakfast option, he laughed at my face and told me: “Girl, your room is like what, 30 bucks and you want breakfast?”. This was really rude and unacceptable. Moreover, I didn’t even mean for the breakfast to be included in the room price, but wondered if I could buy one since I don’t have much experience of living in hostels. Therefore, I deduct some point for such an arrogant behavior from the staff who represent the hotel.

Located near the fun Regent;s street with lots of restaurants and bars, near the convention center and cathedral, but a bit farther away from the Riverside market etc (10-15 min walk). Staff is friendly, kitchen is really big and has everything, with lost of fridges and storage space. I booked the room for myself, it was very comfortable. They provide big towels, which is nice. No hair drier though. Right next to bus stop to airport.

The room was small but had everything I needed, which was very convenient. The kitchen was well-equipped with oil, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce, and had plenty of space for cooking. It's also close to the airport, and the path was well-lit the whole way, so I felt safe walking alone as a woman.

I really enjoyed staying at Dusky Lodge. Friendly staff , cosy room , nice communal areas and the bonus of a spa pool . Excellent value.

Lovely location, just a few minutes walk to town. Close by restaurants and shops. Easy check-in process, and the place is clean. It's slightly cold though, one of the hot showers is not hot enough. Otherwise, we had a great time staying here. Tekapo is lovely in the winter!

Location is very good close to everywhere, bus station to airport number 8 very easy to reach. Walk to park n restaurants. Staffs r friendly n helpful met 2guys receptionist all very nice.

An absolutely fabulous place. Really playing on yhe history of the building all while still giving privacy, security and fun. Location is super close to a variety of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores, and a general store for those forgotten small items. Parking is free but it's a first come, first serve scenario. I loved staying there and highly recommend to any traveler looking for a funky and reasonably priced accommodation.

I stayed in a mixed dorm room for two nights. The location of Hakka House is good. The intercity bus drops you there and pick you up. Walking to Hermitage Hotel or Visitor Centre is around 15 mins or so. From Visitor Centre, you can walk to ****** Valley track or Kea Point track, each is 1 hour one way. I highly recommend ****** Valley track. People in Hakka House usually stay for one night. In any case, for both nights, my roommates switched off the lights of the room as early as 9:30 pm. The room is too stuffy and hot as it seems that only an inch of the window is opened, probably too cold if opening the window more. Shower room is relatively tidy (very much depends on the users) but it seems that there is only one hair dryer for the entire ground floor which is not convenient. Imagine a lady with long hair will need to use it for at least 15 mins or so and there are many ladies who need to use the hair dryer. The kitchen is impressive. Well maintained and clean, good ventilation too.

タオルは借りれる＆タオルの洗濯もしてくれて、最高の宿でした！室内は広く清潔でした◎ 喉が渇いた際は、一階のバーで水をいただけて助かりました。 共有キッチンでは調理もできました！ また近くに来たら泊まります！ オーナーさんやスタッフさんも皆笑顔で優しかったです。ありがとうございました！
