Chalet Backpackers

Difficult place to give a review. Place is super clean and well maintained even as the facilities are quite old. On the other side, the beds are normal beds without privacy shades, personal lamps or electro outlets.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Chalet Backpackers for some months a few years ago. My stay left such an impression that I felt compelled to write this review. Met loads of awesome people and wow what an interesting and beautiful building! The owner Richard and administrator Chris were not only friendly and but also great to chat with. I felt thoroughly comfortable and entertained throughout my stay. All in all I couldn't recommend Chalet Backpackers more highly and on my next trip to Dunedin I'll surely spend some more time there :)

We really enjoyed this place who looks like a cottage. Petra, who was in charge of reception, was so nice with us! We recommend it.

This hostel is such a vibe. I believe it was a massive royal house back in time and it hasn’t lost it’s charm. Carpet everywhere and high quality old furniture makes you feel like taking a trip to the past. Only downside is the reception being closed from 3-9pm which obvs. is peak arrival time and you have to call a lot of phone numbers until someone tells you the front door entrance code.

I had a great time there ! I stayed 2 weeks there and I felt like home ! Petra was really welcoming ! I recommand this place for sure :)

Besides the room being a bit cold and having a smell of fish from the outside, the location and price are great. The receptionist was very caring and helpful with all my question inqueries.

Cozy and historic hostel within walking distance of the city centre. We really liked this hostel and its character. The staff is friendly, rooms comfortable, the kitchen clean and well equipped and nice lounge areas. Some parts are under renovation so it will only improve from here.

I have booked this place for a few days until I find a room for me in the city. The place is so nice and the facilities are good. Price is the lowest if you check other places around here. The kitchen has a lot of utensils and the facilities to cook. Enough storage space and the refrigerators. Bathrooms and the toilets are very clean. Their staff is doing the job very well. The staff and the owner are very friendly. They provide all the information you need. I could not find another place to move within the planned period. The owner of this place has offered me the same room I stayed for one more week for a great rate. This place can be highly recommended.
