Overall Ratings & Reviews Stafford Gables Hostel

No refunds is practically theft. We paid and received nothing. Phone call was ridiculous also, no conversation, no reasons, do they even speak English here? Infuriating experience.

It is a view in the Historical Hotel. In good condition. Me and my son enjoy the Piano as well.

The stairs were very high in the tread which made them difficult for me.

Poor conditions but good value

I liked the price but you get what you pay for. The room was cold, damp and draughty. I would not sleep on the top bunks as they were unstable. Heating was inadequate on 30 minute timers and only one shower and toilet per three rooms or up to a dozen people. Alright if you are young and healthy.

The property needs some investment, light bulbs replaced, fixing dripping taps. Overall its a hostel with good service

It was horrible and cold and dirty and smelly and the price was ridiculous for 1 night in a absolute dive $180..absolutely the worse place ever and i didnt feel safe there at all

Good low-budget accommodation. It would have been better if there was some non-see through glass in the upstairs bathroom. And if the reception was available for longer hours.

Great basic accommodation but all you need. Good service, clean and quiet

Awesome experience!

We did not feel safe or comfortable for this stay. The room smelt of cigarette smoke and the whole place was run down. You even had to buy your own loo roll!! It was not provided for free!

The eftpos machine was not working for two days and requested to pay cash, couldn't even pay through online banking. Had to go out get cash which was very inconvenient. It didn't provide toliet paper and it costed $1 to get a roll in reception. The check-in time on hotel.com was incorrect and reception closed before we arrived. The reception lady was nice to come back to drop off the key.

The hotel is a little run down, although our room was comfortable and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. As a budget option you get what you pay for, we found the price very reasonable but probably would choose elsewhere next time

Booked some where else where we felt safe. Spoke to a couple the next day who did stay. They came from UK and said the police what the night before was not comfortable. We booked a double bed room. Got a small single room. They rang me the day before we were due to arrive. And asked if I had spoken to them the day before and cancelled the room. I had not !!! Do not stay there. !!!!

Terrible hostel, loud and unclean. Won't return!

All basics covered. A nice stay in Dunedin for the price and location.

Close to the CBD, off-street parking, clean building but old..

Did not change the bed sheets and pillow covers. Weed and grass are growing everywhere in the garden and doors. Property is in low maintenance

They cheat you about internet. Don't believe! There is no wifi connection in the dormitory! You can fiind some in the corridor of kitchen. The whole building including all communal areas is terribly cold. The heater in the room produces unbelievable jetplane noise, so you cannot use it at night. And anyway the timer is set to 1 hour.

Could not turn on the room heater. Otherwise everyting else was great.
