Great location in Rotorua. Very roomy facilities and multiple kitchens, showers and toilets. Lots Activities within the hostel and next to an indoor rock climbing facility and movie theater.  Walking distance to convenient stores and restaurants. What can be improved? Sharper knifes in the kitchen and coffee maker.

Nice place to stay in Rotorua

Amazing stay. Pretty clean facilities for a hostel, friendly and helpful staff, dorms were decently sized. Overall one of the best hostel stays I've had. Only notes are that top bunk beds don't have rails and (at least in my room) there were no outlets near the beds. On the plus there were cupboards to keep your stuff, just bring your own padlock! If looking for activities to do while you're visiting, there are tons of pamphlets in the lobby and staff has many good recommendations (plus discounts for certain places so make sure to check with them before booking)

Fantastic stay!!!

Single and double rooms available in a very central location in Rotorua. The business has all the facilities needed for a pleasant stay with the  Thursday night Food Market, Eat Street, Polynesian Spa, Lakefront and shops only a short walk away. I can recommend the Buffalo Restaurant on Fenton Street and the Icecream, Bubble Tea shop next to The Warehouse in the Mall. A very relaxing couple of days.

Priests Pool in Poly Spa was miraculous!

Really nice cruise good fun, thanks Dale ! Music with a little swim and some good drinks. Such a great way to enjoy the beautiful lake !
Cheap price and totally valuable nice captain, the dream cruise.
I don’t know what to add but trust me it’s a must :)

👌

One of the staff members, Dale, made my stay 100 times better than I thought it ever could be! He was cheerful no matter the time of day and always had answers to questions customers may have had. Dale always had a smile on his face and greeted all customers, we appreciate you Dale! Thanks for your hard work!

Great hostel! The 8 bed dorm I stayed in was spacious compared to other hostels I have stayed in, had storage lockers and a small table and chairs. The bed was comfy. The female bathroom has hairdryers and a pair of straighteners available for guests to use. Free tea, coffee and sugar in the kitchen. Plenty of places to hang out and the upstairs lounge has a mini kitchen and big TV.  Cinema, cafe and climbing wall in the same building and loads of info available in the reception/lounge about activities in the area.

A great hostel with a bit extra

This place was fantastic! Our previous accomodation fell through so we had to book on the fly and Dale (I think is his name) at the front desk was so helpful. The room was clean and organised well. Super close to city centre as well! Kitchen was great too. Only thing I would love is female bathrooms on all floors :( 

A great last minute find!

People were really nice. I think it could be a nice improvement to adopt the system of YHA Finlay's backpacker from Taupo, they have pods and they show the guest's name on a board on each pod, they also have plugs inside the pods (on the other hand I think YHA Finlay should adopt Rock Solid's lockers, they are big enough to fit hikers' bags while Finlay's ones are too small). 

When I arrived at Rock Solid I've put my stuff in a locker and went outside, I didn't think of putting something on the bed next to the locker since I already locked the locker, when I came back somebody took the bed, I took another one and the next day the bed sheets were changed and somebody took it before I came back so I changed again. I think it would be more efficient to put people's names on the beds. 

Very good but could benefit from pods, boards and plugs.

Private room with ensuite was basic and clean.  Appreciated the kettle, heat lamp in the bathroom, towels.  The room is a bit dark but it was quiet.

Comically:  the laundry closes at 6pm so if you think you'll spend an evening getting caught up on that - don't. Why a coin operated or token system can't be installed is baffling.  People want to use the daylight hours for sightseeing and once all the cafes close (3pm everywhere) and restaurants close (early), laundry would be a natural choice.    Also comical - reception closes at 6pm.  Thankfully, I didn't need anything as there was no one to ask, though numbers were provided.

Special thanks to Dale, who helped me to make a room transfer to stay two nights in the same room - appreciate his extra efforts. 

Get all your questions asked before 6pm - everywhere. 

My fiance and I stayed for two nights in a room with a private bathroom. The room was clean, the staff were friendly and the backpackers is well located. We walked to the main restaurant area each night. 
I would stay there again in the future.
