TERRIBLE
Filthy bathroom w. blocked drain in the shower. Claustrophobic rooms with no ventilation. Terrible value for money.

8/10 Very good

Below average but cheaper than some hotels
The stay was okay for a private room but below average. The showers do not drain well so your at risk of flooding the bathroom floor within 2 minutes of showering which is annoying. The rooms are dated and dont have tvs or aircon either. They have a gloomy feel to them. No appliances but they do have a shared kitchen. The bed was very springy and soft too. The staff asked me to pay the cost of the booking on arrival and presented me with the card machine too, but i refused stating I was sure id paid via expedia - to which I was right about they then agreed. This should be checked by staff however as had I not known id been charged and paid, Id never have been wiser or got a refund. Good location though, easy access from the airport and they can advise you on things to do in the city. Plenty of backpackers here.

I'm not used to bunk rooms but that was not an issue. Room mates came and went quietly and respected others' needs.

2/10 Poor

Didn’t have high hopes as my previous stay in March was pretty hit and miss. Filthy room which STUNK of body odour. Room had clearly not been cleaned in some time. Didn’t feel safe using the room for anything more than sleeping (ie. Couldn’t shower), and was stuck down at reception. Would have checked out immediately if I had a refundable booking. Reception were unable to assist but noted my concerns. There are some significantly better hostels in Wellington City, and I can personally recommend The Dwellington, The Marion, and Trek Global
