I stayed in this hostel for during my two-week long study abroad session. Out of the nine accommodations we stayed in, this was my absolute favorite. The staff was utmost friendly and helpful; they offered help with a smile whenever needed whether it be carrying a bag upon arrival or if you forgot your room key. The building itself is full of personality and character - I loved the bright colors, funny signs, and toad decor throughout. There are several common spaces, a kitchen, clean bathrooms/ showers, and comfortable rooms.  I especially enjoyed the rooftop area; it is a great space to exercise, sunbathe, oversea the town, and spend time alone/with friends. Another perk is the great breakfast spread in the morning and a keep cereals/cookies available throughout your stay. You truly feel like you're at home with the abundant selection of books and games. Toad hall is also just a five minute walk from the water, making it the perfect location to view the sunrise or sunset. It is also 5 minutes from the town of Napier, full of great restaurants, shops, and a laundromat. I couldn't recommend it more!

Home Away From Home

Ruthie is the friendliest/most efficient/laid back host you’re likely to meet. You’re instantly part of the family, an amazing baker, 4-6 freshly baked goodies at brekky. 
Clean, shabby chic, huge rooftop area w. BBQ. Games/books/puzzles galore. Specialises in sports teams, singles-and everything in between.
We will 100% stay again.

O60’s cricket stay!

Great owners, clean facilities and we were able to switch from a twin to small double room.  Big 1st floor dining room/ sitting room and a common room with book swap on ground floor.Breakfast included as part of the room cost, and cake and coffee available for thru the day.  Close to the beach and town centre and a 12 minute walk from bus station.  Booking recommended!

Great stay 

This place is super nice for a backpackers! The breakfasts are amazing (homemade bread fresh each day plus a bunch of baking!), everything is spaced out and the common areas are huge. Even though it was raining and fully booked, the noise was kept well away from our room and there was tons of space to relax. 
The staff were super lovely too- excellent advise on activities & even did a bag of laundry for us! 

Spacious, great breakfasts and lovely staff 

We spent a weekend here with a large group. There were two common rooms so we had one to ourselves mostly.  The breakfast consisted of home baked breads, yoghurts and cakes which was fantastic. Typical quirky New Zealand backpackers with affordable accomodation, clean rooms and very central location. Free parking on the street outside. Next to a pub with live music so some initial noise in the weekends but stopped early enough not to disrupt sleep. This accomodation does not provide Winz emergency social housing. Overall a great stay and highly recommended!

Great Backpackers

Have stayed at Toadies several times over the last 10 years and I am a Napier local. Most recently with a group of friends for a girl's night. Ruthie is an awesome host, friendly welcoming and helpful. Rooms are clean and more than sufficient for a good night sleep, rooftop is awesome with amazing views over the city and the backpackers is so close to town and all sorts of activities. Great value for money.

Great place!

The lady who lives and works there was welcoming and friendly and her dog should get an extra star because it's adorable. Huge accommodation, smells like an old hall but in a good, wooden way. Always clean bathrooms, quiet rooms, great rooftop area, kitchen and free laundry service. Would go back in a heartbeat

The Dog is awesome

This place is amazing! We have stayed at quite a few backpackers and none of them even compare to how great this one is. They were so accommodating as we thought we wouldn't arrive in Napier until around 8-8.30 so wanted to make sure we could check in and they were absolutely fine. Our room was way better than expected, super comfy beds and so clean. We had an ensuite in our room which was awesome. 
Freshly baked bread in the morning for everyone to enjoy such a nice touch and for the price you pay to stay (super cheap) you wouldn't expect to get this.
Great place and would definitely stay again 🙂

The best backpackers ever!!

Hi 
I travel to Napier Periodically from AKLD.
I will allways choose Toad Hall. 
It's an inviting and welcoming accommodation.The building is quirky,has awesome character and very homley atmosphere. Hassel free environment and very well equipped with all amenities.
Michelle(1 of the managers) is friendly and very helpful. I would never stay anywere else in Napier and I have tried other backpackers in Napier. 
I believe. .....
Toad Hall is very cool place to stay.

Be ready for a slightly run down and well loved hostel. However, this does not detract from the place’s character and charm. We only stayed one night here, but we would happily have stayed for longer. The manager was absolutely lovely and made us feel so at home. The homemade bread for breakfast was also a lovely touch. The beds were comfy and unlike some other hostels in NZ, the sheets had definitely been washed! We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
