Our first night was in a room over the kitchen and the noise from the extractors was excessive all night, they never switched off. It was a hot day and windows had to be open. We upgraded to a room at the back which was lovely.

Great location and proximity to all points of interest in the downtown area. Hostel and room were quiet and secure. Hostel is also larger than most I've stayed in. There were lots of travelers coming and going. Great for business and activity but restrooms and early morning "noise" certainly take a toll. All was expected for hostel life. Despite the cons would definitely stay again.

The Airport Bus operates from 7am - 10pm approx. Please ask the Bus driver to indicate the Cambridge Tce / Worcester Street Bus stop and get off at this stop.

They operate a door to door service. As we have 2 hostels in Christchurch please advise you are going to YHA Christchurch on Hereford Street
Car
Christchurch is busy repairing and rebuilding our city as a result of the 2010 / 2011 Earthquakes. This means that road closures and detours are very common. Download the YHA New Zealand travel app from the iTunes app store or on Google Play for Android phones to keep updated and find the easiest way to our hostel.
Rail
The Train Station is approx 3km from YHA Christchurch. Shuttle Buses meet the services and are the preferred choice to get you to the city center as they charge a set rate per person.
