Stafford Gables Hostel

The staff were friendly, the location was great and reasonably priced

only 3 car parks on site (but is free on road parking) the room was cold and heater had a 30 minute timer glued to the plug, beds were not that comfy and very noisy but the absolute kicker for us was you have to pay for toilet roll, it was only $1 from reception but not great if you run out in the night.

No breakfast or tea and coffee.

Too noisey, people playing loud music and stomping around. Only 1 shower with hot water. No toilet paper, have to buy from counter for $1 a roll. Have to hire a towel for $2. Shithole would.nt stay there again.also doors are unlocked and people creep around at night.

It was one of the worst hostel we've been. The house itself from the outside was nice but it was one of the dirtiest hostel I've been. The owner keep turning all the lights off it was dark and cold. Even the staff run around it winter clothes. Because they don't have a heater. The dishes in the kitchen were unuseable because of the dirt. Most of the shower were either not working or cold. It seem like there are about to close. they try to save money wherever they could. They even asked us to buy our toilet paper since they are not providing any. Definitely not recommended. We had to pay cash because the eftpos machine was "not working" and didn't give us a receipt. Even we asked for it.

It’s shows different things at online once we checked in need to buy toilet paper . It’s not same as online details

The way it shows online it’s not same as per room . Need to buy toilet paper too not hot shower .very discounted suggest not to go there anymore

Location is good .

I informed my check in was between 3/4 pm and I have to wait , because the room wasn’t clean . They ask you to pay 1 Nz for paper roll if you want cause you don’t have in toilet for free . The heater has a timer with 30 min , and is not comfortable, more in winter .... considering that they only provide you with a duvet and no sheets in bed, wasn’t a good night for me in winter . Kitchen and fridge need to be clean . They have to improve the customer service .
