Closet for a room misleading especially for what we paid Seemed staff put all their tour groups in best rooms and we got the crap rooms

Haka House Lake Tekapo
Beautiful view from kitchen but everything else was awful. Never been so hot in a dorm. Why air conditioning in the whole hostel but not the rooms? No towel included. And one of the 2 fridges was out so groceries stuffed in one fridge. Super expensive.
