Staff are great, very helpful with any query.
Showers - amazing
Even though they aren't dragons at all, everyone was very respectful re: noise at night.
Good supply of kitchen basics (sugar, coffee, tea, flour and pans and utensils)

Great price for an easy stay. Lovely place the staffs are very friendly and all the guests are friendly and polite, the place is tidy and safe. We had the private ensuite room, small but offered everything we needed. It was a little bit noisy as the room is near laundry and kitchen but we were good sleepers so no border. Definitely recommend it.

There's a rule not to use the kitchen between 23:00 - 07:00. But some guest may didn't know. Not sure the staff has been acknowledged or not.

The room was very small and stuffy, there was only space for the bunks and a shelving unit/cupboard which was broken so I was not able to secure my belongings. It was a little inconvenient with the stairs and the location of the amenities, but otherwise it was a nice place and certainly perfect for backpackers. The male who served me was very nice & friendly.

We have a very bad experience staying there this time, it was too nosy from the neighbours and in general the crowd was in their 20th. So I wouldn’t recommend it if you need some quiet time.

Perfect social, relaxed spot for travellers
Trek Global Backpackers was the perfect stay for me, everything was clean, the noise level was great and it had a great chilled, social atmosphere. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm around the Wellington area.
