The best hostels in Franz Josef

Some of the best backpacker spots in Franz Josef

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

The best hostel we have stayed in New Zealand. Modern, cozy, great shower pressure, spacious kitchen with dining area, there is even sauna with cold shower outside. Super friendly staff and in general nice atmosphere. We extended our stay for one more night and would definitely stay again.

The warm welcome cement the impression of the place. Despite being a backpackers' hostel, this accommodation is full of family atmosphere and friendship.

A crowded and obviously popular Hostel in the heart of town ... Which turned out to be small but full of tourists... The staff at the hostel were friendly, helpful and informative... Showers were hot, Bed Comfortable and a well equipped kitchen ... Great mix of backpackers, workers and tourists were staying in this really nice Hostel

The property was amazing. Easily the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms were spotless with so many amenities which made the stay even better. I can’t wait to return

Clean hostel, comfy beds, good size rooms. Great location just a 30 min drive to fox glacier/ lake matheson and not far from Franz jospeh glacier. Nice lounge area with a pool table and a TV room.

Surprisingly good free breakfast including cereal, pancakes and toast. Other amenities too, and well set up for socialising. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.
