Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, deep sinks in the kitchen, great courtyard with seating and trees, clean facilities.

No complaints.

The value for money was great, with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. The location was also convenient, and the staff were helpful and easygoing.

The breakfast option could be improved with more variety and options.

the value for money was excellent - with shared bathrooms that still offered privacy and five incredibly comfy single beds on the lower floor, it was definitely worth it. Secondly, the location was great, being close to Taupo's downtown and within walking distance to restaurants and the town center. Lastly, the staff were friendly and the basic amenities were spot on.

No improvements needed, everything was perfect.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! the value for money is excellent. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the great location. It's close to everything, including restaurants and the center of town. Secondly, the staff were amazing - their attention to detail and friendly service really made my stay memorable. Lastly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, with shared bathrooms that still offered plenty of privacy. Plus, the shared lounge had a very comfy couch, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

All in all, everything was perfect!

Close to supermarket and shops. One bed in a spacious room.- Great location near key amenities.

Noisy hostel environment. Unhelpful and unfriendly staff.

We had a great time here! The location was perfect, close to the shopping area and a big supermarket, but still within walking distance to the town center. The rooms were clean and comfy, with curtains for privacy, and the shared kitchen was big and well-equipped. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the leisure facilities such as the sun terrace and the game room.

During our Thanksgiving getaway, we had a great time staying at this hostel. The complementary breakfast and WiFi were a nice surprise which we appreciated. The central location made it easy for us to explore the town. We also loved the friendly ambiance of the communal areas and the chance to socialize with other guests.

The mattresses were a bit old and uncomfortable, giving us a bad night's sleep. the common areas could have been cleaner and more well-maintained.

I loved the laidback vibe of this hostel. The music playing in the reception area was a great touch. The kitchen was well equipped and clean, and there were plenty of spots to relax both inside and outside. The hotel was in a convenient location, close to both the grocery store and the lake. Lastly, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even when I arrived late.

Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

Clean, spacious pods with personal light and socket. Big kitchen and seating area. Close to supermarket and waterfront. Friendly staff and helpful recommendations. Cool garden area.

The location of this hostel is great, as it's walking distance to all shops and restaurants. the room is simple but comfortable with a nice view of the surrounding area. the bathroom is clean and well-maintained. the breakfast is a nice touch and includes a variety of items. There is also a pool for those hot summer days.

The hostel isn't ideal for those who enjoy karaoke or casinos, as there are no facilities for these activities.

We had a fantastic stay at Yha Taupo Finlay Jack's Backpackers. The sleeping pods were a unique and comfortable experience, providing privacy and a clutter-free room. The courtyard with its grass and seating options was a lovely place to relax. The location of the hostel was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen had enough hobs and sinks, and it was great to see a compost bin for food waste and recycling. I highly recommend this hostel for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. it offered great value for money, with reasonable prices and attention to detail. The location was also a major plus, as it was conveniently located near enough to the lake and right in the town center. Additionally, I appreciated the basic amenities and spacious rooms, which were a pleasant change from the usual bunk bed setup.

No major issues, everything was just fine.

The signs around the hostel insisting on quiet after 10.30 pm were admirable and followed by all. the outdoor area and picnic tables were fantastic, it was perfect for hanging out with friends. the bed was really comfortable and spacious which made up for a noisy night.

There was no way to cool down the room making it unbearably hot. the ironing board was without a cover, it wasn't really a big deal but when I pay for a service I do expect it to be adequate.
