Absoloot Hostel QT welcomes you with a variety of accommodation options for the independent travelers, families and groups alike. With the best location in Queenstown, you will get to enjoy the convenience, view, and quality that you only get from a stay with your friends here at Absoloot.

Designed by travelers, for travelers, AbsolootQT is owner-operated and equipped with everything you could ask for. Have breakfast in the best hostel kitchen in New Zealand, talk to our staff for advice on the coolest adventures around, and sleep in comfort in sustainably designed custom beds with power-points and reading lights at your finger tips. Some of our multi person rooms can also be booked privately for families, triples and couples.

If you need more privacy, take a look into our Queen and Double configurations, and enjoy the sort of comfort some hotels don not even provide. You can also enjoy peace of mind from the fact you are in an accommodation provider that cares, with sustainable practices employed across the accommodation to keep our environmental impact to a minimum.

Each room has been fitted with double-glazing and shutters to keep the heat in and the noise out. And there's a heat pump/reverse-cycle air-conditioner in every room, so you can stay warm in Winter and cool in Summer. Multi person room guests can enjoy fully-made beds with toasty duvets (doonas), large individual lockers for every bed, key-card door access, individual reading lamps and power-points, and Free Unlimited Wi-Fi throughout the property. En-suite rooms have a fully-equipped bathroom including hair and body wash, as well as an in-room LCD TV, and 4 person en-suite rooms come equipped with a fridge as well. Borrow a free fresh towel from reception if you have forgotten your own, free earplugs if you are a light sleeper, and free smiles all day long!

Speaking of smiles, you will have one all over your face once you step into our guest kitchen after taking one look at that view. Grab a free coffee, tea or hot chocolate, spice up your life with free spices while cooking on quality electric stove tops and ovens in a fully-equipped kitchen, and lose yourself in daydreams about the experiences available on your doorstep.

On the down days, take a moment to sort those dirty clothes out in our commercial on-site Laundromat with brand-new machines. Then while you are getting your life in order, you can relax in our 24hr lounge room, equipped with a Nintendo Wii, XBox 360, board games, book exchange, and a travel nook to book the next leg of your journey. An LCD TV for video games and a Smart TV for your Netflix and Chill should stop any arguments about what is on, but that is only if you haven not taken advantage of the adventure deals available from the team at reception there is no excuses to not get the most out of your Queenstown experience.

So just get in touch with the team at Absoloot QT and meet your travel family in your home away from home!

Stayed here in a couple of occasions during my time in Queenstown. Found it very comfortable for hostel, with a clean well equipped kitchen and decent dorm rooms. Staff were very friendly as well. A bit quieter than some of the other hostels in Queenstown, which was ideal for me. Location pretty perfect as well being right on the lake.
