Traveller reviews

“Great quirky place, good value”
14 Jan 2025
No frills accommodation exactly as they state in an old jailhouse. We had bunk beds which were comfortable. Extra blankets provided too. Basic as you would expect but clean and comfy. Showers were hot. Shared kitchen. Plenty of hobs, fridge space and utensils. Historical information, was on display. Nice touch

The character, space, and ambience. The history and having pins for room entry made the stay very pleasant and enjoyable. We would stay again.

“A unique stay”
06 Jan 2025
I loved the Jail theme of this hostel, the idea of rooms being a prison cell is cool. The room was comfortable and the common area was big. Location of the hostel is top notch and all Christchurch attractions are walkable. Also plenty of restaurants next to the hostel. I also loved the fact that you don't need a physical card or key to unlock your room. I will definitely recommend this hostel.

“Superb”

It is a very clean accommodation with lovely common areas and smiling staff. The kitchen is large enough and well equipped. We appreciated free parking very close to city centre. Beds were comfortable.
