Lovely place which will make you feel welcome. Very convenient location as it's close to the airport bus, close to the magnificent botanical garden and 15min walk from the city center and the info center.
Beds are comfy, though it gets a little cold at night. Shower and toilet are clean. Kitchen is nice but could use a little more fridge space.

The Dorset House was by far the best hostel of the three I've been to in Christchurch.
Our twin room was very large and equipped with everything we could wish for: Heating blankets, heater, two pillows each, bedside table+lamp, towels and even a flat screen TV.
There were conveniently located bathrooms which were clean and modern and had a nice shower (although it was a bit difficult adjusting it to right temperature).
The hostel has a spacious and well equipped kitchen with plenty of fridge space, acceptable storage space for other groceries and enough stovetops and an oven. We also enjoyed the lounge with a billiard table, TV, plenty of seating and the really friendly and accommodating staff!
All in all a great hostel for short and long-term stays with amazing rooms which are offered at a really competitive price, especially when you book at weekly rates. Highly recommended, I will definitely stay again if I return (:

This hostel is in a great location, good free wifi and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a double room which was clean and the bed was very comfy. Heated blanket was also a nice addition! Bathrooms also clean and tidy - good showers too. Highly recommended.

Great hostel. Very friendly, good atmosphere but quiet at the same time. Not far from city centre. 2 min from botanical garden. Great if you have just arrived in NZ, they will let you use their address as New Zealand address if you need to open a bank account. Just need to ask when checking in.

A really cool place to stay! Ended up spending our last 2 weeks of our NZ trip here, much due to friendly staff but also super nice rooms with comfy beds. Free unlimited WiFi. Nice kitchen with all necessary utensils. Superb location!
