The Marion in Wellington
One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! The bathrooms are so cute, with blue tiles on the walls and copper pipes that make it look antique. Lots of privacy with curtains at your own bed, your own reading light and outlets.
The hostel workers are fantastic. They host daily activities or meals. The night I stayed they made a full dinner for everyone.
I would absolutely come back to this hostel

Very nice hostel
This was one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and nice with free coffee, tea, hot chocolate. There were several lounge areas and I especially liked the rooftop deck. Also, great location, just around the corner from Cuba St.

Hostel was awesome. Beds are good with curtains. Only thing is that your storage under the bed will be too small for your backbag.

Most of the time quiet hostel, good location and clean
- Not enough seats in the kitchen area, housekeeping staff would enter the room without knocking, not the most social or welcoming hostel
