Location, it was quiet in a busy town and super clean and friendly. (My only beef was with some of the other "travelers" who need to look up the definition of "respectful behaviour" The staff, especially the kitchen staff, were delightful. Thank you, mr. Ron for your insights when we were chatting about the Te Matatini competion.

The location is the best part. Super easy to walk everywhere and easy parking too. Big kitchen and modern facilities. Nice and cozy rooms that were good and warm. As a bonus there was a cute hostel cat.

Stay Hostel was at a great location and parking on-site was provided too. The service was great - we were also offered a private room to upgrade our booking for a reasonable price, which we didn't hesitate to say yes to. Facilities and rooms were clean, reliable WiFi connection and it wasn't hard to find to make our way around nearby shops & cafes during our stay.

It was the best hostel by far out of the ones in Rotorua since the YMCA closed. Stay here if you can.
