Hostels in Wellington Region, New Zealand

I stayed in a basic room with shared bathroom. The hotel has an old style elevator which is cool. The room comes w a heater and a face basin with a mirror which is too high unless you are 1.9m to 2m tall. Lol. A fridge, a kettle , coffee, tea , cocoa powder and milk for coffee are provided. It also provide a bath soap and towel. The hotel entrance are locked after 5pm or 6pm for the safety of the hotel guests as there are no receptionist after 22:00hours. Cons :- The shower area light auto switched off 3-5mins thus it’s scary when u are still showering , the whole place turned dark. Both the shower cubicle and the common area in the shower area are scary when they are in total darkness. This is negative as not the right way to save electricity I guess and risk falls as well. U can parked your luggage after you checkout for free as well. Lastly the hotel is 20min walk from the Railway station or NZD11 on Uber. And walking distance to the Pier for some high end dining as well as nice eateries within the city centre.

Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom, which was good for the price, had room service, a tv and a bathroom shared with only one other room. However, it's a bit of an old building, and at night it was sometimes a bit noisy as it is next to a main road.

The room is very clean, the layout is very reasonable, the room temperature is particularly warm, the service is very good, will stay next time

I'm very satisfied! If I have the opportunity to visit Wellington again, I'd definitely stay here again! The kitchen, dormitory, living room, and lounge were all very user-friendly, making for a comfortable stay! The kitchen offered free unlimited milk and dairy. You could also use as much oil, salt, pepper, and spices as you wanted. There was also a lot of free food left by previous guests, which was very helpful!❣️ Yoga was held every day at 9:00 and 4:00 PM, there were running events, and art workshops, so it seemed like it would be easy to make new friends! (There were many long-term guests, so it seemed like people were chatting frequently.) The staff were also very helpful, explaining things to me and carrying my heavy luggage to my room.🙏🏻 A Japanese person living in New Zealand whom I met during my stay also said this was the best hostel in Wellington, so I highly recommend it!💫

Hotel location is very good, in the center of Wellington, the parking lot is on the upper floor, to go up a steep slope, parking fee 15 NZ / day. The interior decoration is a bit antique and has a sense of history. The downside is that I arrived at the hotel on Christmas Eve, and the front desk was closed (should be at 7 pm), saying that I sent an email to me, but I didn't find it in fact. Still the cleaning guy, contacted me, opened the key box, and got the key.

Homey spot on a quiet street but a short walk to everything you could need.  They accommodated my late arrival with an entry code to the front door and a key in  a reception area basket.  They keep it clean, which is not a small task for a place this busy. In the morning and evening the kitchen is buzzing with activity as guests seem to do a lot of cooking here (I ate out so can’t comment on the kitchen facilities). Mattress was SUPER comfy and my top bunk didn’t squeak!  Only issue was there aren’t electrical outlets and small lights at every bunk, (only some in my room ) which is a feature I use all the time in other hostels.

Hotel location is quite central and good, staff are nice. I stayed in the 4 person room and honestly it was lacking. Ive stayed at hostels before normally there will be a curtain on the bunkbeds for privacy, (especially in a mixed dorm) this wasn't there. No lamps on the bed, lockers didnt have locks provided, no good power plugs or small shelf on the bed. Just a lot of room for improvement compared to my past hostel experiences. Facilities outside room were good. It was also too noisy, the door outside the room when people walked around was noisy, surely it could be greased/ or put something so it doesnt close so loudly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ I stayed two nights at Haka House Wellington. The property is very new, modern, and exceptionally clean. Its location is also excellent, right in the center of Wellington, making it easy to walk everywhere. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The main downside was the noise. On my first night, the quiet hours were unfortunately not respected, which made it quite difficult to sleep. Luckily, the second night was much calmer. I also found the kitchen a bit complicated to use, as some utensils, like bowls, were hard to find. Aside from these minor details, it's a very good hostel—modern, clean, well-located, and with a truly pleasant team. I recommend it, just hoping that the quiet rules will be better enforced.

A nice clean big room which I would’ve enjoyed more if the room didn’t smell like wet dog. I didmt complain or ask for a different room. So my bad. I was only there for 1 night. And I bought an air freshener from the shop. It didn’t help sadly. Or having the windows open or the fan on. The room had potential otherwise. The bed was comfy, the shower was great. There was a little kitchenette also. It was just a shame it smelled bad.
