Around The World Backpackers

Don't make any mistakes when you book here - be 100% certain you do your reservation correctly. We accidentally booked the wrong date and the proprietor refused any kind of refund or assistance. No doubt it's a nice place, but I personally work in customer support for my day job and I never charge a customer for a product they don't use. Don't recommend, if you're a human and can make mistakes 😛

Nice and clean, host was lovely, but lost a star for the digital mayhem of apps and making accounts to enter.. not everyone wants a digital device and this should be made clear in booking process that this is a requirement.

Lovely place, very central and well connected. The staff is super kind and helpful and the place is very relaxing. It has a nice garden and they do yoga and movie nights from time to time. Good installations and great people. I'd recommend very much. If you want to spend some days discovering Christchurch or to have some rest is the perfect place Thanks for the stay Chade! :)

I stayed 1 week : room, toilet and shower were clean. Close to the center on foot. Cheapest room I found on Christchurch and it was very nice

Booked here a couple of times after being unfairly turned away from a great but now bitter sour hostel down the road (their loss, NOT MINE).Arohamai 2 the brother who had sleep apnea during my stay, he said i had it too but my health is sorted now. The place looks very vintage inside for a hostel but as any cheap fair place, I booked here. I've enjoyed my tumeke journeys there in Otautahi. Would come back here if i pass those ways but there are other gr8 places 2 visit too. Mauri Ora

one of the best hostels with good prices!! Really friendly staff. Rooms are nice and clean and there is also a big garden with tables and hammocks where you can relax. There is also a lot of free stuff in the kitchen. Also easy to reach by public transport .

Comfortable rooms and good kitchen. Outdoor space was nice. Was the cheapest at the time but around a 20-minute walk from the closest supermarket and town.

I stayed for two nights; pleasant hostel at this price. The location is perfect. Amiable and helpful staff. Saw a notice that they banned smoking on the premise from 1st June onwards; excellent decision! They need to make other guests follow the kitchen usage policy so that other guests clean the communal areas after their turn.
