Pros:

Clean and comfortable. Only drawback is the walls are paper thin and if you’re a light sleeper like me the loud snorers will keep you up all night.

Cons:

Thin walls

Pros:

Very friendly staff, I had a good rest here. Although it’s a shared bathroom, I think it’s clean enough. Hope we have more time in hokitika and i will stay here longer.
