I stayed here for one night and had a great experience. The room was clean and comfortable, but what really stood out was the kitchen—it was extremely clean and well-equipped. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and would definitely recommend this place.

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.

Good overnight stay
Stayed just one night, good clean and quiet hostel. Only issue We had was the room was so hot, I requested a fan but they didn’t have. Many places in NZ offer fans, this would be my suggestion.
