Kiwi Basecamp Backpackers

Hotel

Nice staff and location is ok. BUT, we find out they didn’t even change and clean the bedsheet.

Wonderful hostel, modern kitchen and bathroom, rooms kinda small but nice, very friendly people, all staff are backpackers, but the place is organised nonetheless, 5/5

Clean, comfortable, great atmosphere. I was actually really impressed with the showers; they had a perspex lid on the shower cubicle so the rest of the room does get all steamy/wet/mouldy. And they provide fresh bread for breakfast.

What a great place this is the staff are wonderful people and the set up in this modern facility is awesome, very reasonable rates and Laura is a lovely lady to deal with. Right in the heart of Christchurch close to all amenities you will love your stay here.

Private room ok but shared bathroom smelled really bad and was dirty! No toilet paper for whole morning. Free breakfast was ok — bread and jam.

Wonderful place, with wonderful people in abundance. Very clean, fun lounges with guitars, games, and reading material. Covered outdoor area is great for meeting other travelers and general revelry. The bathrooms are very clean, and the showers are amazing. Such high water pressure! Enough of them that I never had to wait to use one! The toilets show a red color when in use, but it seems they can still be opened, so be careful of that. Or maybe I just didn't lock it correctly. Oh, you wanted to know about the rooms? Also great! Plenty of space — I think a lot of hostels would've tried to squeeze in another bunk bed, but instead it's quite comfortable. Also feels very safe, as there's a different code to get into each room. Location is also great. Close to the city center, but also not quite in it, so it's an easy walk around without being loud late at night. And the staff is also super friendly and helpful. Many of them are travelers working part-time while staying. Altogether top-notch place!

Rooms a little expensive but you get what you pay for. A fantastic homely welcoming place. Definitely cured my home sickness.

Such a fun, lively group here at the hostel! Sat down this morning before I left and had some breakfast with the night manager and owner. The owner is very down to earth and the workers are very fun. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is great! There lounge area is a great place to just chill and have a good time at/play games. They have local guides and books as well so you can easily find something to do! Made my New Zealand experience great! Thanks again guys!

One of the best hostels I've stayed at, and I would highly recommend it! Friendly staff, cool atmosphere and the location is great. Another good thing is that every bed has its own charging station and you can charge your phone right next to you and not in the other corner of the room. It also have proper free Wi-Fi, you just connect and stay connected, not like other hostels that give you an access code which is only 1GB for a week… If I go back to Christchurch this is the hostel I would stay at!

The staff was listening, several places to cook what was convenient, but the people we slept with came back at 5:00 am totally drunk by waking everyone up. It's not the fault of the hotel, but it still ruined my stay there.
