They are really committed to the jail theme and there are a few fun activities you can do such as fingerprinting yourself or taking a mugshot. Also has various informative displays of the jail's history.

Firstly, I want to say how great the location is! It is walkable to lots of areas of CHCH. I was situated in room 330/womans 4 bunk with ensuite, and unfortunately had the worst nights sleep I’ve had in a long time - not due to the other woman in my bunk, they were great! But due to the loud constant banging coming from the wooden hallway doors outside and the heat in the rooms. The rooms are not sound proofed at all and the old wooden doors are HEAVY so everytime someone used them (which was a lot) through the night they would BANG so loud it was like an earthquake in our room! I’m a heavy sleeper and this was waking me up every half hour at one point! I contacted the after hours number to ask if there was anything that could be done (maybe get a door stop or even change rooms) as I had to be up at 5.30am - no answer to calls and no text back. As well as not being soundproofed, the rooms aren’t fitted with any aircon or fans, and it was sooo hot! I left early in the morning so didn’t see a staff member but also didn’t receive any communication back from the number I had been contacting overnight.

I stayed a couple of nights in a single room with a shared bathroom. It was simple, but clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed for a short stay. I also liked that the shared bathrooms were single occupancy instead of having to share a bathroom with several other people using different stalls, as I've seen at other hostels. The location was convenient, and it was easily walkable to everything I needed.

Nice relaxed hostel to stay at. Shower in shared bathroom could benefit from a bit of tlc around corners of shower base but overall very happy with the cleanliness, bedding & bunk areas great and well equipped and warm and secure.

私が英語があまりできないためか受付スタッフの対応があまり良くありませんでした。 部屋の設備の中にタオルが書いてありましたがそれは有料でした。 外観は古かったですが部屋自体はそれほど古いとは思いませんでした。 ただ、窓から隙間風が入りヒーターをMAXにしても寒かったです。 すぐ近くにアートセンターや公園があり、観光スポットにも歩いて行けたため立地は良かったと思います。

Had a very comfortable and convenient 4 day stay in female 4 bed ensuit room. Everything was great. Only issue I had was the noise coming from closing of doors out of other rooms with bangs and loud noises in the middle of the night other than that I had a lovely stay. I would highly recommend it.
