Great accommodation in a brilliant location. Clean and very modern. The only problem is the walls are paper thin. We had an issue with a noisy guest. Chris from reception came up immediately and dealt with the problem. We enjoyed our stay.

Great value for money. Front desk team super friendly, housekeeping could make some improvements... Id definitely stay again. Though I may up grade to an ensuite next time, just for the convenience. Cheers team.

The pictures of the property were a far cry from reality. Both on the outside and the inside. Worst of all our floor smelt of wet shoes and dirty clothing, and the bedding was stained and looked like it had not been changed.

The check - in process was horrendous, 7 hours waiting for my room. Despite requesting early check - in, even at 2pm room was still not ready no sense of urgency from reception staff. It ruined my holiday, 3 days spent in my room from lactic buildup & cramps. The negative, showers were not large enough to swing a cat, the drive - way was meant to stay clear - even had tow truck warnings. The kettle had to balance on the bedhead, cord couldn't reach, on my floor it was a construction site, rubbish overflowing near entrance, beds were back breaking & toilets always out of paper. The positives great location & close to transport.

Great location, no need for a car since I was visiting for only a few days. Easy check in and check out. First night was great in an ensuite room, slept well. Booked a second night last minute in a private room with shared bathroom, and it was quite noisy in the hallways late night. I was woken up from constant loud slamming of doors around 1am. Shared bathroom had unpleasant smell and laundry room had scattered trash all over. First time at Haka House, will continue to try staying at the different locations around NZ.

Haka House Wellington is a great location, and our twin room with an ensuite offered a good amount of space. However, the advertised amenities like a hairdryer and kettle were missing, which was a disappointment, especially since the receptionist mentioned it had been like that for weeks. "Sorry" doesn't cut it, it's misleading. The hair drier on the 5th floor wasn't working. Disappointing. The room itself felt a bit bare-bones. Two coat hangers were hardly enough for two people, and the lack of drawers or a cupboard made it difficult to unpack. A small detail, but having the bath soap located outside the shower was inconvenient. The hostel's wifi was easy to connect to and worked well with mobile phones. Unfortunately, it wasn't compatible with my Mac laptop (security related), forcing me to tether with phone. It's important to note that the hostel can get noisy on Thursdays through Saturdays due to young guests partying. While I was able to sleep through it, those with lighter sleep might want to consider this. Additionally, the walls seemed thin, allowing some noise from neighbouring rooms. You will hear a lot of road noise during the day. The advertised "harbour view" came with a bit of a surprise - a prominent view of the New World loading dock and its wheelie bins. While the harbour was still visible, it wasn't quite the picturesque scene I was expecting. Comes back to the old adage: You get what you pay for.

This was my first time at this property and it was amazing. The dorm rooms are spacious and the beds are wonderful. The bunks are clean, comfortable and the individual plugs and lights are appreciated. Not to mention the curtains on each bunk to provide privacy and keep the light out when sleeping. The lockers are big enough and the property itself is centrally located. The only slight minus is the bathroom in the dorm needs an extraction fan of some sort to help clear the air and the steam. Also, perhaps more hooks for clothing and towels while showering. Overall, a great experience and I have booked in again already.

Really liked this hostel. Kitchen and dining areas are spacious and there’s plenty of fridges/storage space. Rooms are nice and modern and the beds with the curtains are so nice and cosy/private, however the rooms do get quite warm and the windows don’t open very far to get much air in. We had to prop the door to the room open to get the cooler air from the corridor in Bathrooms nice and clean. Great location close to the city centre, opposite a New World (supermarket) and right by the waterfront. There are also car parks close by (you do have to pay, there’s no free parking until after 8pm). Would definitely stay here again!

Considering the property is in the middle of renovations, our rooms were clean and tidy and perfect for us. One of the bunks was damaged, so they provided us the room next door at no extra cost. We had no hot water in our ensuite shower for any of the 3 nights we stayed, but could at least still access the communal bathroom facilities. The communal kitchen was great, however more bench cloths were needed, and more frequent cleaning would gave made it more appealing.

Our top bunk had no railing or mattress so we were given a second room for free! However, one room had no hot water in the shower and the other had no cold water in the shower. The hot water urn was out of order in the shared kitchen and there were no kettles, so the staff used their space to bring us hot water. The key cards stopped working each day, so we had to keep getting these reprogrammed at reception. Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved our room.

A total gem. We were blown away with how awesome this place was in every way. First, it's totally clean, inside and out. Room is clean, restrooms, hallway; someone definitely cares about this place. Second, parking was a total breeze. While their location is in downtown, there is plenty of street parking right next to the hotel that is free at night. I suppose this might be a costly proposition if you need to leave a car there during the day, but for staying overnight this is perfect, free and convenient. Also, the ferry is just 8 minutes drive away in case you're headed to the South Island. Thirdly, the staff is polite, energized and knowledgeable. Lastly, while the place is under renovation, it didn't impede our stay in any way. Frankly, this place exceeded my expectations in every way and made me wonder why some folks are complaining about in their reviews...

There was a gross stench in the kitchen like rotten food, that permeated the dining area. There was an infestation of fruit flies throughout the kitchen area. The kitchen looked grubby. My shower was the cold side of tepid; too cold to get in. There was no laundry facilities, and I had not been told of this prior to arrival I had been made aware that there was renovation work, so the noise was acceptable. What I was NOT forewarned about was the shabby state of the dining room, the lack of a communal lounge, and the entrance way surrounded by bins
