The 6 Best Hostels in Queenstown (Updated 2025)

"Within walking distance of Queenstown’s center, I liked Southern Laughter for a few unique perks: a hot tub to relax after exploring, a lively common room with a large flat-screen TV, self-service laundry, a BBQ area, and free soup every night for dinner which saves money and helps you meet other travelers. The dorms are spacious and the mattresses are decent, though the beds are basic metal bunks and lack privacy curtains; the hostel also offers free parking and discounts for bars around town." - Matthew Kepnes
