    When light was on the heater was on.. which quickly turned the room into a sauna (couldn’t understand the link as the heater on the side of a bed was cold..) There was only one bathroom so even at 6am there was a queue waiting. Bed should be attached to the wall because it’s moving a lot when climbing the ladder.

    Extremely affordable, kitchen has everything you need, room of 4 beds was spacious and divided into two parts that gave more privacy.

    Parking extremely pricey. The room was cheaper to book. Indoor signage could be better as all doors look the same maybe different font or bigger signage for common areas

    Good location, friendly staff, I really liked the retreat area and bathrooms were very clean.

    Every time you go to the quilt and the bed does not seem to be very clean, there is residual hair and grass? Then I was bitten by a flea, although I do not know if it was bitten in the room, because the following two days have not been bitten again, the sound insulation between the rooms is not particularly good, the sound of the door is very clear, and the road inside is very winding, easy to go to the wrong door, but for this price, this accommodation has exceeded expectations

    The facilities are complete, with luggage storage and photocopying services, parking is available for a fee, the location is good, in the city centre, the staff is friendly, and the toilets and bathrooms are clean.

    Just a few things needed attention, nothing major. There was a leaking fridge in the main dining area that made it less inviting with wet towels and a puddle on the floor. One of two dryers was busted. And for a large group, gathering in any of the upstairs areas was impossible because of access restrictions.

    Great location in the middle of Wellington with wonderful staff. The place was cleaned thoroughly and bedrooms were great. Staff accommodated our large group and provided parking (for a fee) for our 2 minibuses.

    Nothing really. I mean you had to remember your key and go down to the bathrooms but fine really.

    Separate female space. Card locks for sections of building. Colour coded areas. Kitchens for each area. Little roof garden in women's area.

    You could hear everything in the corridors. Room in front of bathroom/toilet so you could hear everyone opening and slamming the doors. And other people talking in the rooms.

    Overall it is a really good hostel.

    The shower hadn’t been cleaned from the last person as there was hairs and empty shampoo bottle in it.

    It is a great location. We found it very quiet. Each section had their own kitchen which was nice. We also had an en-suite. It’s always lovely when you can choose that option if you are looking for your own space on a budget.

    The bathroom to guest ratio in this place is absolutely laughable. Expect to wait a lot and/or go downstairs to use the facilities (and even then you'll have to wait sometimes). At least they are cleaned frequently. Also, the door to my dorm room was the only one which inexplicably had a window so at night the light from the hallway was quite annoying. C'mon folks -- covering up the window would be an easy fix!! Also, in the year 2024 it is a bit upsetting how a hostel this large does not offer female-only dorm rooms. Even though I had to dorm with a bunch of men thankfully they were all nice so I was not uncomfortable. I booked 6-bed dorms both of my stays and they were also comically small, so be prepared for that. Both times my rooms contained lockers that were broken (and dirty) so that could be something that staff could also fix and improve.

    My second time saying here. It's not perfect but something about this place drew me back. It's huge and absolutely a maze but very welcoming, comfortable, and full of friendly people. Folks never lock the dorm room doors (not my preference) but at least you need to swipe your key card multiple times before getting to your dorm so things still felt secure. The facilities are modern/nice enough and not perfectly spotless but cleaner than you'd expect. It's great how the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned so frequently -- this is much appreciated. It's nice having a small kitchen on each floor to supplement the larger one downstairs, as that one is not large enough to accommodate everybody. I liked hanging out in the big lounge -- it's a nice space, along with the courtyards. It's super great having a power outlet for each bed!! (even top bunks!) The location of the hostel is also wonderful -- just be prepared to have to walk up a steep hill to get there! Finally, the price was fantastic and helps to make the not-so-great aspects of your stay worth it.

    Spring beds... not really my type since it can be a bit loud. A bit of noise during night time and curtains don't have that much cover to have a really dark room.

    The best location to stay when exploring Wellington. Everything is walkable such as restaurants, convenience stores and library where I can hangout. Bathrooms were clean and people there are awesome.
