The best hostels in Dunedin

Some of the best backpacker spots in Dunedin

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location, the people you stay with here you can easily make friendships and such a good atmosphere. Bonus Points as they have a Cute Golden Retriever Puppy in residence. I wished I stayed longer as Uptown Backpackers feels like a 2nd Family.

Great location, lovely staff, clean facilities. Really loved their bunk beds with curtains and shelves, makes your bed more of a private space.

The staff were super friendly! Check in and out was so quick and easy, the room was comfortable, great location and I loved that the female dorm had a keypad lock instead of a key for that extra sense of security! I would highly recommend this hostel!

In terms of youth hostels, it was the best accommodation I have had so far in New Zealand. Unpretentious but comfortable, with everything you need, in a great location and with friendly and helpful staff.
