OMG. Without a doubt, the BEST hostel I ever stayed at. The common room/kitchen area is INSANE. Best accommodation I stayed at during my month in NZ. No review I could write would do it justice

The hostel has recently been renovated and you can really see the care and effort that went into it! The rooms are cozy, the beds are comfortable and there is a lot of storage room right under the beds. There are two fully equipped kitchens, that will take you right to a home-like dining area with a pool table. Not to forget that there are a lot of bathrooms around the building, all freshly cleaned and spacious. Oh, and if you're looking for a place close to the main attractions, you're good with Haka Hostel, which is right across the Botanical Garden and close to the shopping and dining area of Christchurch. We really loved our stay here and it made our Christmas extra special.

The staff and service was superb. It is a family run place and the man who checked us in treated us like family. Welcome us to church in early, made coffee and breakfast for us, personally showed us around and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

All hostels in Christchurch

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Really impressed with this hostel! I was upgraded from an 8-bed dorm to a 2-bed dorm, which was small but great to have fewer people. Comfy beds with curtains, individual lights, and chargers by the bed, plus lockers for luggage. They have two kitchens which are well equipped and have everything you need, plus a cozy lounge. Great location for exploring the city, would definitely stay here again! :)
