This hostel is clean and nicely set up, basically good value for the price. It has cooking facilities, a table in the dining room, and chairs and sofa to lounge on. Andy was a good host and welcomed me to use the kitchen. However, I visited Dunedin in August, and Andy’s place was not heated. I had enough blankets so I was warm at night in the comfortable bed, but whenever I was out of the bed, I needed two layers at the very least, and still was cold. It worked out ok, for there were coffee shops nearby and Speights Ale House, which offers a hot mulled wine. I think Andy’s hostel will be fine when the weather warms up. It is close to the city center, good restaurants, cinema, pubs.
