Great Hostel

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.

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.

Aug 16, 2024

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.

We booked a super twin bedroom, which we did not get. The room was clean but there were no facilities for making a cup of coffee. We had to go down stairs if we wanted a drink.

Excellent

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.
