Ariki Backpacker is in a great location, close to the museum, the coastal walkway, and a large market within walking distance.
The staff were very friendly, and it was nice to be able to do laundry at a low price and rent a bike at a very good price.
It was a guesthouse with great facilities overall, such as a small movie theater-like room, a restaurant, and a bathroom.
The cleanliness was also good.. I will definitely use it again next time.
I highly recommend this accommodation..

Overall it's OK, the most unbearable thing is that the bar downstairs is very noisy late at night, it's hard to fall asleep unless you are very tired

We had a spacious room with ensuite. Bed and pillows very comfortable. The staff member was very helpful. This was good affordable accommodation in the middle of town, available at peak time - many events happening in the city. Next time we would bring our own top sheet as it was so hot and the duvet supplied was too warm. We were pleased to get such a spacious room for the price, it's not an upmarket backpackers but good value for overnight.

Have stayed there for 3 nights so far, 1 next week. Everyone has been great.
Some of the mess is from the Backpackers being lazy and not doing their dishes and leaving pizza boxes for the staff to clean up.
Very good for the price.

The only thing I didn’t like was parking. I had a car and there was no parking facilities near the backpackers. Outside of this it more more than adequate! The attendant was friendly & helpful!

I meant to put 2 stars about property conditions. It is clean and beds you cannot fault.
The building and some chattels could eg paint and carpets.
Some Backpackers leave the kitchen messy too. Thry need

Very warm feeling to the building along with the staff. Very convenient to town Centre, bus services and the beach. I recommend the Ariki back Packer's to anyone looking for accommodation in the New Plymouth area.
