Stayed in this hostel twice, and had the same experience each time, finding the beds unkept and the kitchen very messy. Saying this, there is always a friendly face at the reception desk, particularly the Irish staff who were welcoming and informative with backpackers about the surrounding city and what there was to do here. The bar also had good... More

This stayed with me as my impression of Wellington, which is a... More

I originally was going to stay at Base Wellington for 3 nights, but extended it to 4 because it was such a nice hostel and wellington is such a cool city. The lifts are a little bit slow, but taking the stairs is fine. The kitchen stoves are terrible but the rest of the facilities are great. I stayed in... More

I booked over the phone with a friendly girl from reception who was very helpful. I booked for me and 2 others for 3 nights. I asked for the cheapest dorm room as we are all on a buget and mentioned we had $3off vouchers to use at base hostels which we recieved in a welcome pack from another base.... More
