National Park Backpackers

沒有免費wifi,這裡是徒步的中轉地，能做飯，背包客的地方，沒有免費白色毛巾，有暖氣，旁邊有個便利店，便利店價格比大城市高，旁邊還有個加油站！

Great location and price, and the kitchen is reasonably well set up, but either someone forgot to buy more dish detergent, or they routinely water it down so much that you may as well wash your dishes with just tap water. This is really unhygienic, considering everyone is sharing dishes and there is no steriliser. We had a family room with an ensuite. It was dated but fine; the beds were average, and the pillows were really thin, but acceptable considering the price. The rooms could really use some hooks to hang up towels, ski gear, and bags. I had booked for three nights but only stayed for two. Our toilet started leaking, and I found cockroaches in the bathroom. I had my six-year-old with me, and it was all a bit much after that, so we decided to leave and go somewhere else. I informed reception of the issues, and they told me I needed to speak to the manager. She was very short with me and tried to blame me for the cockroaches, saying I had taken food into the room, which I hadn’t. She said it must have been the people before me. Interesting, however, that the cockroaches were in the bathroom. I asked for a refund, and she refused, offering to move us to another room, which I declined. This place is probably fine if you’re backpacking and just need a bed for the night, but for families, it’s a dump, and I wouldn’t stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

Come on guys. Charging for WiFi in 2023?? It is like charging for use of power outlet or tap water. In this days internet access on a hostel is one of the top 3 needs. YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT. Aside that, clean and quiet hostel. They provide a payed (50 NZD as for April 2023) bus service to the Tongariro Trek.
