Lobby or reception in Jailhouse Accommodation

- fun concept - cool location (former jail, street with a lot of cafes, bus to city centre very close by) - clean - everything you need (kitchen, bathrooms, lounge area) - walking distance to train station (25min walk)

The history of the place was interesting and brought personality to the stay. The code worked well and you could move around the place very independently. It was easy to get to the destination by bus from the airport (bus 3 to Christchurch Hospital and from there bus 7 stops almost in front of the door). The hostel also has many different places to sit and work in peace. A small yard is nice! There is also quite cheap and good take away food places near by. I would definately stay again :)

I love a good building repurpose - great to see unused building be used for a different kind of accommodation. It still has the feel of a hostel and the harm of a jail. The bones are the same, with some slight upgrades of course to ensure security is maintained for all guests. the entry and exit code system is easy to use and gets rest when you complete your stay. I also liked the museumesk component - stories on the walls of former inmates, rooms allocated as a space for art on walls. It was all in all a very clean stay. There were a few cafes and restaurant type places nearby within walking distance and the giant park was not far either, to meander along the riverside.

Everything is clean and well kept. Quiet at night, nice and relaxed atmosphere. You see that the staff tries their best to make your stay as nice as possible. Also high tec doors you can open with your personal code and also with your phone. The kitchen is tidy and clean, the best one I've seen while traveling.

This was a quirky place to stay and the hostel leant right into it. A couple of the cells were set up so you can see what it was like and there were some good prison photo ops. The kitchen was well maintained and rules enforced so even with a lot of people it was tidy and clean and there was space for everyones food.

At first I was scheptical of going to a "backpackers" but found out that this place is tidy, clean, with really helpful people and most of all respectfull people, by night time it was quiet, for lunch and dinner time everything was clean. An special feature its the building and all the story around it, really liked it

Lounge or bar in Jailhouse Accommodation

Great experience. 10 bed dorm wasn't too cramped. There were lockers for belongings. Each bed had a shelf with light and charging point. The shower was powerful but the temperature control was loose and hard to find the perfect temperature. I didn't speak to any staff while I was staying but communication was great beforehand.

This is my second stay at this hostel. It is extremely well managed with a great cohort of energetic staff that work hard at keeping it clean and running smoothly. The beds are comfortable, kitchen and dining areas spacious and well stocked, and the hostel has very cosy tv and lounge areas. I like how they enforce a strict 9pm curfew in the quiet areas close to the sleeping quarters. The guests I met here ranged from very young students to gray nomads, solo travellers to couples and small families. In my view, this is NOT a Party Hostel... but it is a very sociable hostel where you will feel comfortable and welcomed. I strongly recommend it.

Facade/entrance in Jailhouse Accommodation

It’s a very stylish jail with comfortable beds and clean bathrooms, the rooms can be a little bit intimidating at first, as they are pretty authentic but you’ll get used to it very quickly. Since I had a late check in and very early check out the next day, I can’t really say much about staff, I didn’t meet anyone but everything was very well organised from the beginning so didn’t really need assistance with anything.
