We spent 2 nights at the Rotorua Treks YHA in a 6 bed mixed dorm for NZD24 per night. The room was a decent size for 6 beds and the heater worked well. The beds were a bit squeaky and the bed side lights it up the whole room. There were no lockers in the room which I think would... more

This was anewly renovated YHA and it was very modern inside. The rooms were nice and cosy although the walls were tin, not that it was a rowdy hostel. The computer area was good, as was the kitchen and sitting area. It was a bit of a walk into the town though and it wasn't the nicest town to be... more

We arrived out of office hours but staff were still available to sort out the keys to our room. The room itself was basic but clean and comfy and the small ensuite was perfectly adequate for our needs. The one downside was the walls were not particularly sound proof and our room looked out onto the central courtyard which meant... more

I have stayed here last year with my friends. All I can say, you won't believe that this is a backpakers!. We don't expect much from this 'backpakers'..But we were blown away by the facilities and the rooms!. They were clean and comfy.The kitchen provides all kind of utensils you need..The dining area was spacious. Enough to socialize with other... more

I stayed at Treks for 4 nights in February 2009 with a friend in a twin ensuite room. And wow. This place did NOT seem like a hostel. It was new, clean, modern, and offered many amenities! I would stay here again and again and I actually wish this hostel was the standard for all hostels! ROOM: We stayed in... more

Been traveling around North Island the last 2 weeks, Treks in Rotorua was probably the best hostel I stayed at since. I slept SO comfortably. Beds were really solid. I like the structure of the hostel too--cute and they have a huge kitchen/common area in a separate building. Staff was great, place was clean, I really enjoyed it and highly... more

We spend a night in Treks during our roadtrip to New Zealand. Easy to find, in a very good position Treks Backpackers was the best we would expect. Friendly and helpful staff, clean though very very simple rooms and a very big and well equiped kitchen (which finally we didn't use) are the tops of the hostel. The only that... more

We’re a couple in our early thirties & stayed one night in Rotorua. All we wanted was a good nights sleep after a full day of activities and before did the same the next day. We loved TREKS. Yes, it was a hostel but one of the best hostels we’ve stayed in. It was clean, well maintained and quiet. The... more

We booked a twin ensuite for one night. Easy to find, ample parking, initially helpful staff. So far so good. Room has patio door leading onto terrace but after closing it we became very aware of the smell from the drains- worse than the eau du sulphur! Otherwise clean and comfortable if a little lacking in atmosphere,with good communal spaces... more
