Reviews
Very reasonably priced. Rooms don't have air conditioning and can be rather stuffy but it was tolerable. Others may not find it so tolerable. There is a fan provided in the room which is handy for sleeping as it provides white noise. Hostel wasn't very noisy but we didn't have a street facing room. Rooms are tidy and come with nice amenities.
This hostel is big and seems more like a cheap hotel, than a hostel. The kitchen is big but not well stalked or clean. There are no shared spices and no way to label your food. However, there was a small refrigerator in my room so I kept my food in there. The bathrooms are dorm style and kept relatively clean. You do not have control over the heat or power in your shower as it is turned on by a switch, which I did not like. Great location in central Wellington. Close to shopping, bus lines, Cuba street, Te Papa, and the wharf. My room was quiet, clean and comfortable.
Showers are always cold and you can't even regulate the temperature, awfull! I'd rather pay a dollar for a 5 minute hot shower. No place to put or hang your clothes in the shower. I haven't seen a single window, you can't regulate any airflow or temperature in the room, there is no fresh air or sunlight anywhere in the building. Fridge in the room makes a lot of noise non stop. Barely any place to put your luggage in twin room. Staff is nice, it's clean and the location is nice.
Horrible place. Stayed her with my partner a while ago and we were treated really badly. When we queried why we were being charged a charged we got laughed at by the staff who refused to look into the issue. People before us and after had similar problems.
My room was warm and dry. It was mostly clean, some food stains on the carpet and areas of holes in the carpet. The bedding was clean, but it was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever paid to sleep on. You could feel all the wires of the springs down the centre of the mattress, which hurt my ribs by day three. The microwave and toasters were broken, although they did replace them. The lift was broken. A few of the showers were broken and one smelt vile everyday!!!. The sanitary disposal units in the toilets were always overflowing. However, it was central to everything, and the buses were amazing. It had everything I needed and was cheap. I could of overlooked the bad things if the bed was comfy. Good for one or two days.
It was clean. Fantastic location. It was difficult to find out which floor they are on. I had to ask a security guard. It is the third floor. Do not arrive between 12 and 1 as there will be no one at reception. It is too hot at night so they have put free standing heater/coolers in each room. The rooms are very sound proof. The bathroom has a few issues eg. No space to put toiletries down.
I checked in at 10pm and out at 7am so only stayed one night. Very conveniently located on Dixon street especially when catching bus to amd from airport. Best location right next to Cuba and Courtenay for bars amd restaurants and the museum, wharf etc. My room number 21 was adequate. Bed was comfort, room was very clean, no bad smell except from.the room next to mine which was illegally smoking a cigarette. Good fan and ventilation seemed okay. I can see how people will complain though. There really is no natural light anywhere in the building and no air conditioning. The place lacks character and vibe. The lift and reception are particularly shabby and uninviting. However, it is a budget hostel so keep that in mind when booking. The toilet paper is budget, people walking the halls all night, thin walls and shared facilities. Personally i would not stay more than one night and consider it well overpriced for the standard. I cannot comment on showers as I purposely didnt shower. To be honest they didnt look great. I stayed there simply because I wanted to catch bus for early flight next morning.
Well managed, very clean, fully equipped, with modern interior. The amenities are aplenty, reasonable quality furniture. The bed is excellent, and reasonably new too. They're 2 nagging things: 1 most rooms don't have windows, so if you're that sort of person that need windows then this place is definitely not for you. Unless if you're willing to add $10/night extra. 2 somehow the bathroom door keep sliding; you can use the extra towel to keep it on its place/open, though.
Nice and tidy dorms. I am at a place where they have 4 people in a room. Decent kitchen and neat washrooms. But the rooms are so congested and there are so many of them its so confusing at first. It gets very very warm in the night in summer because the root is so low. It hit my head when I try to sit on my bed on the second deck. Not really great but yeah. If you get a decent deal why not.
Brilliant location, no frills stay. If you are looking for something simple and affordable, this place is worth trying. The staff certainly keeps the premises clean, same cannot be said about some guests unfortunately. Cleaning up after you're done with your business in common areas is something one should always ensure. The staff is very helpful and friendly, will book again for sure.
