I chose this place because it has a free transport service from/to the airport, which is surely nice. Receptionists are friendly enough. That's why two stars. However, as for the facility itself, I will never recommend this to others. - The doors are heavy and they literally bang when closing, unless you're aware of it and close them very carefully....

Stayed here for three nights in a dorm. The dorm was great but the kitchen and bathrooms were filthy. There aren't nearly enough toilets or showers to facilitate the number of rooms. The locks on the bathroom doors are pretty unreliable and the code for the front door didn't work for me! The staff were friendly but not as knowledgeable... More

Kiwi Basecamp is busy from day to night as it is located ideally just a few steps from bus stop. The space is not big enough as it always crowded with guests, especially the kitchen. However, I enjoyed to read the newsletter from the manager in every morning while drinking my coffee. He looks cool but his written is warm... More

Mix-up with booking and transport from train station. Information given not clear. Earlier enquiries went unanswered. Rooms clean, but shower was flooded. Kitchen untidy, no milk or sugar for breakfast. Security code for door did not work. Unfortunately this was the worst experience of an otherwise wonderful trip.

My family & I stayed here for a night before heading back to Kuala Lumpur the next day. There were 5 of us & at $29/person ($145 for 5) we got the entire family room with ensuite bathroom. This is very reasonable (please don't increase!) It fits 6 persons. The very good thing about Kiwi Base Camp is that 1)... More

Spent there just one night, everything was good. No problems with the late check in (after midnight), bedrooms are spacious and warm, all the facilities are clean and tidy. The hostel is small and I had the feeling of beeing in a small happy family. In the morning after a free breackfast I also had a FREE ride to the... More

Overall this place is not too bad. The dorms were a good size, not too crammed. Kitchen was small but clean and tidy. The free breakfast seemed to be first come served although I couldn't figure out when they started serving it. Staff were quite helpful on arrival. Location isn't ideal, maybe 15 mins to the city centre but thats... More

The hostel was ideally situated on Beasley Road, about a 4 minute walk from where I was dropped off by the bus, and when I got on the bus the following day, the lady at reception was nice and a fellow Tottenham fan, the Internet room was very small, and the shower room light didn't work, so had to shower...

Me and 4 of my friends stayed here twice, once before starting our road trip from christchurch and once when we ended it there. Both the time for single night. The location seemed to be fine, i dunno coz christchurch was almost dead and we hardly manage to do anything but roam around on deserted roads. The lady at the... More
