The Black Sheep Backpackers Reviews

Facilities: Complete facilities, everything you need Sanitation: Clean and tidy Environment: Very close to the city center, very quiet, you won't be woken up at night Service: Friendly service, proactive introduction of facilities and attractions, etc.

It is relatively close to the city center and the beds are quite comfortable. However, there are many people during the peak tourist season. Some people have athlete's foot and the smell is not good. It depends on luck.

The experience is very bad. Don’t stay here. The public restrooms and bathrooms are all occupied by foreigners. They stay up until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night. It’s so noisy that I can’t sleep. Check out at 10 o’clock. At 9 o’clock, the aunt will clean the toilet and wait to leave. I couldn't even go to the bathroom, so I was speechless. I booked it in advance for more than 700 yuan, but the price was reduced by more than 500 yuan on the day. It was a scam every time.

We enjoyed our stay for 2 nights in Queenstown. The location was close to the Queenstown gardens and to many nice restaurants and shopping. We also rented bikes from the hostel and biked all around the Frankton Arm. The hot tub and outdoor seating were a bonus as well!

Good place to stay. Only 5 minutes away from city centre. Comfortable beds. I've seen complaints about the place being noisy, but that was not a problem during the 5 nights I stayed. There's a sauna as well as a spa pool you can use. Internet was excellent and staff was friendly.

Private room was good size and comfortable, but there was nowhere to hang a towel. Would’ve been good to have a socket by the bed and a lamp in the room. Hostel itself has nice facilities - good kitchen for cooking, big communal lounge area which always has someone in it, outdoor tables, clean bathrooms and showers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is close to town but a short walk up a hill. There were a lot of long term stays which did make the social vibe a bit different and maybe not so geared towards solo travellers just passing through for a few days, although everyone I spoke to was really nice.

Restroom was outside, so inconvenient

Super nice staff in a convenient area. Unfortunately noise was a frequent issue- be it door slamming, drinking, people wrestling at night, blasting music etc. Broken hot tub not fixed the week I was there, kitchen burners not working well, Wi-Fi unable to keep up with the demand on it. The staff are quite helpful and really pleasant- the accommodation is lacking in many areas unfortunately so I cannot recommend it overall.

Seemed like a lovely place to stay. Which on first impressions it was. Friendly staff, lovely communal areas however when we weren’t able to fall asleep by 3am the deafening noise from the toilets nearly drove us mad. We were in a private couples room next to the toilets on the first floor. The ladies toilet down the corridor had a awfully loud fan which turned on when the light was on. Trying to sleep was impossible, even with wax earplugs. Hopefully they fix this problem but it was unbearable.

Was a really great time spent at black sheep 👍😉

location great but felt for what our room was ,was somewhat overpriced

Expected to be here for a week or two while I found a place but have stayed a month now and might just loge here over winter! The staff are lovely and are always available to help out or hang out, the facilities are decent and reliable (mostly), the people who live here long term - and the people dropping in for a weekend - hang out in the social areas and play board games/watch netflix by the fire. Beds have curtains and a light/USB/socket which is actually so helpful. Would highly recommend anyone visiting or moving to queenstown to stop over here :)

Great backpackers, cosy lounge area, good kitchen, we stayed for one night but were really impressed with the facilities including a free dinner if you wanted it. Super close to town.

Very clean, staff are welcoming and friendly.
