We just had a short stay (1 night) here. Initially my friends were skeptical and taboo to stay here after they found out that it used to be a hospital, but it turned out to be quite clean and rather comfortable. And don't forget to check out the rooftop, where they have this space for us to hang out, it... More

We had such a great time here. We were jet-lagged and driving-challenged. Close (free!) parking on the street and easy walk down to the octagon area of town. The staff was so friendly. The kitchen is large, well stocked and well organized. We met so many people in that kitchen and got great tips for the rest of our trip.... More

A great place. The building is clearly a historic building, it has plenty of character and style. We stayed in the family room which had it's own balcony and a great view of the harbor. We extended our stay frim 2 to 4 nights partly because if the building's character. The facilities are great with a great kitchen and dining... More

Stayed one night in this very clean hostel. The kitchen is huge and there is a nice dining room in which to eat. As usual with YHA hostels the bathrooms are kept spotless and everything is well-organised. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. More

I chose the YHA because it was the cheapest accommodation I could find at short notice. I wasn't expecting a huge amount, having stayed at other YHAs around New Zealand and not had the best experience. The building is quite spectacular, though if you have heavy bags to get upstairs, it can be a pain as there are a lot... More

YHA Dunedin is located in a quiet part of town and is about 15 minutes walk to the restaurants/bars/cinema at The Octagon and 20 minutes to Countdown supermarket. The building is rather old and the interiors dark. They have a quaint little kitchen. Was in a 4 bed dorm (bunk beds) and felt that the room was cramped. Look out... More

We loved our stay at Stafford Gables! It is an old hospital that has been converted into accommodation and has hallways and staircases that lead all kinds of places! Good kitchen, clean bathrooms, modest rooms. The only downfall was the hike up a hill to get back to the accommodation after a trip to the city. We had a car... More

I was surprised wifi wasn't only not free but also crazy expensive. Staff weren't as friendly as you'd like. But the bathrooms are fantastic. Couldn't compare to competition price wise but you're probably paying for the old world stuff. Locating is really bad. If you're the lively type the neighbourhood will make you miss home More

This was a welcome stop on our trip home from Milford Sound to Queenstown. We had a friendly reception when we arrived and were given directions on great places to go for dinner. The hostel is in an old hospital ward and has lots of character. Our room was cosy and clean, it's nothing flashy but it was a great... More
