Very clean, comfortable place to stay!

Very clean, great location and comfortable beds. The lounge/kitchen area was very well equipped and generally the whole place had a nice vibe.

You can hear doors opening/closing quite loudly but it wasn't to bad as noise was only allowed to start from 7am which we appreciated

Great facilities and great location!

Super quiet location at the end of the road near forest area, yet still conveniently close to intercity bus stop. Inviting hangout areas. Big kitchen. One of my favorite Haka Houses so far!

Couldn’t get my laptop connected to the wifi, the landing page where you can enter your room number and phone number only pops up on cell phone.

Nice ensuite room in a very new facility, little overpriced.

The facilities are new and my room was extremely tidy and clean. Bed comfy and fridge and kattle provided. Shower had a good pressure and great water temperature. Franz Josef is a small town and all the accomodation are pretty close to each other. Pool table in the common area and WiFi strong and stable.

Not really effecting my stay but water came up from the hallway floor during heavy showers. Like many of the hostels I've slept so far guest are really unable and unwilling to keep common areas clean so kitchen was a mess most of the time. Not Haka staff fault of course. Rooms overpriced but again, that seems the standard in NZ.

A comfortable stay in a tiny town.

Comfortable room. This is a hostel so furnishings are spare. Many visitors used the large communal kitchen for meal prep. We made our breakfast in the kitchen but dined in town for dinners.

Pretty enjoyable staying here.

Room is nice, bed is good, kitchen is large and nice.

If cleaned public area(especially toilets and shower room)more often will be perfect.

Decent value for money. Good for a short stay.

-Close to Franz Josef town. Private & out the way of main road. - King room was spacious, tidy and linen was nice & clean. - Staff team that checked us in were lovely. - Common room & kitchen were really tidy, lots of little areas to sit & relax

- Had a king room but our TV didn’t work. Spoke to two separate staff members who said there was nothing they could do due to recent renovations (not their fault). They looked behind the TV to find a cable was missing, tried to find one, but couldn’t. Not ideal considering you’ve paid for it.

Good place but rude customer service. For me, never again as customer service is important

The place is nice and is recently renovated which is nice. Kitchen is big enough so u can take your time cooking without pressure.

Really bad customer service. If something is wrong with the payment they will treat as if you would run away without paying and treat you in a really rude way without understanding what went wrong even when these things should have been sorted out without checking as apparently the ones doing the check in are not doing their job right.

Gutes Backpacker mit Luft nach oben

Sauna, Billard, Tischkicker, nagelneues Couch Mobiliar im Aufenthaltsraum, neue Betten mit Vorhang und abschließbarem Spind im Zimmer, große Küche. Das alles zum fairen Preis.

Die Sauberkeit ließ doch etwas zu wünschen übrig. Liegt leider auch an den Gästen, aber das Bad nur einmal am Tag zu reinigen, reicht (offenbar) leider nicht. Zudem keine Möglichkeit die Hände zu trocknen (Papiertücher wurden in den 4 Tagen Aufenthalt nie nachgefüllt). Zurzeit aufgrund noch nicht vollendetem Umbau keine Waschmaschine im Haus (10 min Fußdistanz zum öffentlichen Waschsalon).

Super, jederzeit wieder.

Die Unterkunft war echt toll. Alles war da was man benötigt. Relativ neu alles und das Bett war sehr bequem. : )

Aufgrund der Renovierung konnte man leider im Hostel nicht waschen. Ein Wäscherei ist aber nicht weit entfernt.

they has their own car park, and easy to walk to the supermarket or restaurant. the staff here is kind and friendly, feel cozy living there.

the shower is great (strong and heat enough) but the water is a little bit slow to flow away.

Clean, spacious and well maintained hostel

The kitchen was spacious and clean, the rooms were large as well. There is a large space to hang out or do work next to the kitchen. Laundry is coin operated from 9am-9pm. The bathroom showers have great pressue. My room was not full, which helped with the quiet and a good nights sleep. This is an excellent hostel to stay at, one of the best and I’d definitely stay again.

It was a decent stay.

There was no breakfast. The spa was offered but we did not use it.

There was a dead bee in the room. The pressure on the bath sink was too strong.

EXCELLENT showers. Maybe best ever in a hostel.

Very loud fan in the room which needs a member of staff to turn off. If checking in after 7pm (reception close time) you need to call the ‘Emergency’ number to do this.

I'd stay again only if it was the only accommodation available.

The location was great and the check in staff were lovely.

The bed was horribly uncomfortable, it sagged and was lumpy. The air units installed in each room were very noisy they went all night and were very loud.

facilities great, the staff not so much and their policies suck

sauna, comfy beds

When i got my reciept, there was surgarge of 2,78 NZD. On NZ bank card cheque account. When asked the reception staff she asked me:'because you paid by card?' . Except the payment was proccesed by the accomodation about 20 min after i made the booking so I had no other choice how to pay it. If you are going to charge us no matter what, let us know in the info, before we make the booking. The wifi was only in lounge, didn't reach to the rooms at all (apparently, their regular wifi was out of order). There were only like 3 tea towel, so none of them were clean.

Cosy twin room, clean, spacious, warm, roomy ensuite bathroom at great value. just what we needed after 8 nights in a small campervan. also the atmosphere in the kitchen and common room looked very friendly, cosy and relaxed, though we didnt use them. also: easy walking distance from main street.
