Hostellit – Blenheim

”Friendly staff, easy to locate and get to from Ferry terminal. Well worth the money.”

”The hostel was quite unclean, especially the kitchen was disgusting. The whole place also smelled like cigarrette. I thought the breakfast was supposed to start at 7.30 but there was no one/nothing there then. The doors can not be locked which feels a bit uncomfortable as a female solo traveler. However it is a cheap option to stay in and you can park your car right in front of the hostel. It is also nice that the toilet and shower are in the room. ”

”Nice hostel/motel, there is everything you need for a couple night stay. Only thing is, there is no lockers where you can store your bags/valuables so you really have to trust your roommates.”

”Like: Garden and quirky endearing Villa. Showers ok. Bed was ok. Free basic breakfast but as no milk was provided only bread jam or toast were possible. Dislike: Thought we booked en suite but only a double was allocated. The advertised free shuttle to ferry was not available and hasn’t been for years. Spa out of order. Kitchen was filthy - sticky floors and not enough tea towels so the three or so were soaking wet. Hardly hygienic. Very little space in fridge and no freezer. No...

”The place was REALLY dirty and full of flies. It was full of long termers (really nice and friendly people) and it seemed fun place to stay if you were working somewhere close but as a traveller it wasn't so pleasant when the dorm room door was open and there were a lot of people from another rooms just hanging out. ”

”Interesting - no one there to check in or out. Just left key on counter for us. Nice and clean room, small and basic, but that’s all we needed for a short overnight stop. ”
