I got a room upgrade when I arrived so I had an awesome stay! The place is absolutely huge and of course the decor looks a bit tired but it was totally clean so no complaints at all. Hot shower, huge shared kitchen, great location literally right next to the bluebridge ferry terminal, and lovely staff. Will stay again my next visit to Wellington!

Location is fantastic - right in the city. Beds are huge. The bathroom is petite but all good for a short stay. It’s definitely on the more basic side, but very affordable and more comfortable and tidy than we expected. Great value for money.

Great location, efficient staff, clean bathroom, warm bedroom & didn't expect clean sheets and bedding for the very low price. I'd recommend to to anyone on a budget.

Clean, comfortable en-suite room with great view of harbour (and Homegrown Festival which was on that weekend!). Wasn't quite sure what to expect as not stayed in youth hostel for a very long time, but it exceeded expectations

Well located for exploring Wellington, the hotel has both hotel rooms and backpacker (hostel style) accommodation. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom and it was very clean and comfortable. The fridge was a bonus, and there was no issue waiting for a shower at any time. We also ate in the bar downstairs and the food was delicious!

Great location in the centre of town and up a wee hill. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was normally always someone at reception if I had a question. Great breakout spaces for chilling or having something to eat. Place felt secure and safe and not too noisy either. Most travellers there were super friendly and easy to talk to.
