Hostels in Westland District

"Nice, clean hostel."

"Very noisy all around. Our room by communal bathroom, so door slammed everytime someone used it. Staff helpful and friendly great location "

"It’s an old building but the facilities are excellent, bed was great, staff great it’s warm and clean."

"The hostel is very unique--one has to see it to understand why "global" is a perfect name for it. The kitchen has everything one might need and more. The bathrooms are clean and updated. The owners are nice and clearly dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming and clean environment."

Manager very helpful, said every guest has towels & sheets provided (info on website was wrong) Not providing free breakfast or soup as stated on website, but Chateau is close to great cafes & bars. Washing machine & dryer worked well - place needs a fix up & paint. "

They offered free veg soup every evening and the kitchen was very well equipped. Private room was comfy and the showers were great. Lovely touch to have the hot tub available too. Everywhere was very clean. Would definitely recommend. "

"Amazing huge facility. Well cared for and new. Perfect of you have transportation since no town is within walking distance. "
