Criterion Club Hotel, ALEXANDRA, Otago

One of Alexandra’s original main street hotels, the Criterion, ‘Middle Pub’ to locals, caters to both backpackers and budget travelers. The ground floor provides backpacker seven-bed dormitory style accommodation with shared bathroom facilities.

The pub’s ‘Legends Restaurant’ is reputed to serve the best cod in town! There’s a sunny beer garden and the main bar with TAB betting facility and pokies has a welcoming environment. The Criterion Club’s location couldn’t be more central to the shopping and entertainment heart of Alexandra.
