LyLo Christchurch
Close to airport, easy check in and out. Comfy. Nice common area. Good kitchen facilities. My first pod needed some fixing but nothing major .

Bealey Quarter
Convenient

Haka House Lake Tekapo
Beautiful view from kitchen but everything else was awful. Never been so hot in a dorm. Why air conditioning in the whole hostel but not the rooms? No towel included. And one of the 2 fridges was out so groceries stuffed in one fridge. Super expensive.

Quest on Kilmore
