Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No breakfast included — One guest specifically noted that breakfast wasn't provided, despite some reviews mentioning free bread and coffee. Check what's included with your rate.
- Rating below area average — At 7.6, Lylo Queenstown scores lower than the Queenstown average of 8.5. Expect a more basic hostel experience.
- Rooms without windows — The 'Without Window Queen Room' means some private rooms have no natural light. Check your room type if that matters to you.
- Central street noise — Some rooms face the main street, which could mean noise from the town centre, especially at night.

7.6Verified guest“Right in the centre of town with easy access to everywhere. The room on the 4th floor facing the main street had a good view, and fresh bread was served at breakfast with free coffee.”
7.6Verified guest“I had a fantastic stay at Lylo Queenstown, formerly Jucy Snooze. The capsules offered a unique and private experience, unlike any other hostel. The shared facilities were well-maintained and the front desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location was ideal, with convenient parking across the street and a restaurant and lounge on the top floor. Great value for money, and I would definitely return.”
7.6Verified guest“My personal pod was great – with air conditioning, a light, and a mirror all to myself, I had a comfortable and private stay. The location was splendid and the staff were very helpful. I'd recommend this hostel.”
