    5.0 star property
    8.4/10 - Very Good (760 reviews)
    "Lylo has always been the best place to stay in town for a reasonable price. Staff they hire are always friendly and polite, willing to help any way they can. Rooms and bathrooms cleaned daily and they stay on top of it. Since my last stay they have done some cool improvements with the upstairs area, the kitchen and bar are an awesome addition to the hostel. Keen for my booking next year when i visit queenstown again."

    "This is the best place to stay in Queenstown! My third stay here and it did not disappoint. The turndown service was just perfect! The little treats left on the bed were a lovely touch. The juice and treats in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon was just amazing. I will be returning next month and can’t wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much"
