We knew the rooms would be tiny having seen it online. The walls were freshly painted and the bedding was all fresh and finer than some other hostels. I shared a modern shower cubicle with strong, hot water flow with one other, similarly the toilet. The TV reception was clear. Extras such as shampoo, soap and fresh soft white towels... More

We stayed here for one night and did not use any of the facilities other than the bed and bathroom. We had booked using hostelworld which listed the room as Double Bed Private - Ensuite. The lady at reception could not find our booking as they had not had any communications from Hostelworld in the last few days so we... More

We stayed at the Micro Tel for two nights at the end of a trip through New Zealand. I'm writing because some of the reviews on this site seem extreme and completely opposite of what we experienced. It is located on a pretty busy street (you only hear the traffic if you stay in a room at the very front)... More

I was only in Hamilton for one night as a stop-over between desitinations and thought "How bad can it be?" Haha, oh it can be very bad! The guy at reception was nice and even carried my bag when showing me to my room, but after that it was just dismal. My room (a single with a bathroom shared with... More

We had a group staying for one night in Hamilton. Rooms were basic and clean, thats all we needed. so perfect for us. Microlet was in a great location, but we got no sleep due to the noise. People came and went throughout the night, every movement and converstaion was heard! Rooms advertised as air conditioned - Completely untrue. We... More

After reading the last review thought better add a review as I felt it was a great place to stay was there for 4 nights and my linen was clean fresh, rooms were serviced daily the staff were helpful, friendly and funny. The rooms are small but have everything I need and that didn't put me off as it is... More

It was a major disappointment. The room was as small as 3 square meter. all the beddings were dusty, stinky, dirty, and totally disgusting. the corridor was narrow and dirty with construction material left on the ground. There was no heater in the room and when I asked for one, the staff said not all the rooms have heater. We... More

having read other reviews, i had to write about my experience of this hostel. It looks to me that when i was there the place was three quarters of a way through a major renovation. The communal areas looked nice, clean and relaxing. Must admit sisnt use them as i went in to town which is only a 10 min... More
