Pros. The rooms were brand new with gorgeous plush carpeting. Very clean and modern. Each bed has its own power plugs, USB plugs, and reading light. Comfortable beds. Towels available. Friendly reception staff. FANTASTIC location right by Lake Wakatipu, a 10-minute walk from Queenstown Centre. Overall a marvelous experience at one of YHA’s best.

Cons. Nothing to add! Everything was great. :-)
