The hostel was wonderful. Clean, friendly, and the beds were super comfortable. There is considerable construction happening in the neighborhood so drove around for almost an hour to find parking and an entrance, used an affordable parking garage just behind.

Had a private room and it felt like a basic hotel, clean and comfortable. A good deal when split with another person. Nice and quiet. Be aware that this is a dry hostel even in private rooms. The quiet hours are generally well-observed.

Nice enough hostel, has the basic amenities but I might not stay again if I came back to Wellington. I stayed in a 4 bunk room with en-suite. The drain in the showers needs to be unblocked, I had to keep turning the shower off to let the water drain (I am a quick showerer). The paint was flaking off the walls in the bathroom. The layout of the room was very strange-the ladders for the bunk beds were in quite inconvenient places. The kitchen/kitchen storage area is very small and the kitchen was really dirty (not the hostel’s fault, literally no one seems to wash up after themselves so the sinks were piled high with dirty dishes). Was nice and social though and in a central location and the reception staff were lovely and friendly when I checked in.

Stayed in a single occupancy ensuite room. This was decent sized. The windows didn’t close properly nor were able to reduce lots of noise outside from courtyard music and talking along with air conditioning noise and external noise. Heater didn’t work. Noise in other parts of the building were much worse due to construction work on the street. The fridges were so full I didn’t bother trying to use them. It is a dry hostel which is great with no smoking or vaping but this is soon known not to be true with people smoking on the doorstep and in the courtyard with ash trays provided by the hostel - so cap re that. The bathroom had mould, linens not great but you get what you pay for noting it’s in a really great spot with all amenities, buses, cbd, supermarket all nearby
