This hostel is typically labeled as "best in Wellington." The kitchens are cleaned somewhat regularly and the bathroom were always clean. Also, the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. The dorm has lights at every bed and New World is directly across the street. However, the hostel is massive. After traveling around the world and staying in boutique hostels... More

Perfect as a base to visit Wellington. Staff is very friendly. As it is low season, they put me on a 4 dorm just to share with myself:) Unlimited wifi for 5$. 3 min from the great Te Papa museum. Shuttle can be organised to take the ferry. This is a big hostal so don t expect to much in... More

After staying at the Base hostel, this was great! Reception staff very friendly and helpful. 6 bed female dorm a nice size, with small desk and chair. Lots of power points around. The only annoying thing is the 'bedside' lights - they were soooo bright, woke up the whole room! Creaky old bunks too. Bathrooms ok. Wifi not great in... More

The reviews that say this hostel is more like a hotel are defintely true. The size alone can attest to that. I stayed here in May 2013 and had a great time and a few great people. I had a 4-bed female dorm with an ensuite and that was definitely a good choice. The room was on the 5th floor... More

If needed, you could walk from the ferry port to the hostel, it's not far. there are 2 fairly decent sized kitchens, good reception, a... More

This hostel is amazing! I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm and I was so impressed when I walked into the room: it was like a mini hotel. Spacious room with two lovely big windows (and a fantastic view... of New World) so the room is nice and light. Clean towel and a little bottle of shampoo/shower gel included on... More

The location was great, the kitchen large and well-equipped, the staff was friendly, and it fulfills what one expected of an hostel perfectly. I didn't mind the thin walls, the small room, or any other inconvenience that came with budget accommodation. But fleas! That was unacceptable. My mom and I went to bed fully dressed and still were bitten all... More

I stayed in a girl dorm room for 5 nights. The hostel is clean and very well located, but it's huge and not that homely like. It looks kind of like a hospital and people don't mix and don't talk to each other. The kitchen is good but always busy. I would stay here again because cleanliness is a BIG... More

This hostel is huge, and it lacks a bit of atmosphere, it's a bit impersonal.. But everything else was okay!! Everything looks new and modern! They have an elevator! The dorm was perfect, spacious, clean and very good beds! A bit dark though.. The laundry room was also perfect! There were not so many toilets and showers on our floor,... More
