Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No parking , elevator was broken our room was on the 6th floor, this is a kids hotel not meant for adults - help did offer to help carry luggage to the 6th floor we couldn’t leave there
I had a great time! I stayed 4 days in the 4 bedroom dorm. The hostel is right by CBD and everything is walkable and there’s a big bus station near bye. Heaps of cafés, restaurants, bars etc.
the hostel is clean and u have everything u need. Amazing staff who’s always helpful friendly. I highly recommend staying here.
The room had a comfy bed who has a shelf with outlets (also usb) and a locker near bye where u can fit a sport bag also has 2 outlets. But u need to bring ur own padlock. Quiet hours are between 10pm-7am and it was quiet at night. ✨ parking is free in front of the building between 8pm-8am after fees apply also watch out to not park at the bus stop before 8pm. Parking app is helpful (PayMyPark) because it tells u exactly if ur allowed to park or not.

I’ve stayed at other Haka Houses and this one didn’t match up to my previous experiences. To be fair, they have a significantly larger facility with a lot of guests but the overall cleanliness and friendliness of staff was lower than previous experiences.
A good place to stay. Great location in central Wellington. Easy walking distance to city venues. Bus stops handy. Nice clean room ; good shower. We even had a view of the harbour.
We will be back.
Thank you :)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Basic but very clean & great rooms.
Bathrooms & showers adequate - 1x shower head broken.
I just needed a place that was central city for one night. The room was wonderful, the locaation was perfect and the cost was fantastic. Even with so many people and rooms it was actually very quiet when i was in my room.

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice room but walls paper thin- woken nearly by people talking in next room. And noisy outside too. Beds and ensuite good though
Great value for money. Front desk team super friendly, housekeeping could make some improvements...
Id definitely stay again. Though I may up grade to an ensuite next time, just for the convenience.
Cheers team.
