Reviews
"Customer service at the front desk is very knowledgeable about the local area. Max was particularly helpful in providing assistance with setting up a NZ bank acc during my first week in the country"
"It’s an excellent place to stay with all necessary facilities provided by the mangement. Staff is very cooperative. I suggest everyone to stay here to enjoy your leisure time."
"Average stay, nothing special once again from a YHA hostel. - Staff don’t seem eager to help and seem slow in their job. - Large and well equipped kitchen and lounge chill area. - The bed has no electricity sockets or charging points next to it, which is very disappointing for this day and age. - The rooms have lockers were to safely store belongings which was good. The hostel is in a good location, no atmosphere whatsoever and nothing special about it."
"Having stayed at YHA in Australia and NZ, we thought YHA Wellington should be fine. Booked a room with en-suite for 4 nights. Room was awful. It was in really bad conditions, lack of power sockets and there’s no WiFi at all (it was at 5th floor) despite what the staff insist. Toilet was also in very bad condition. The deal breaker was the toilet flush doesn’t work. After a flush, it takes 30min before it can flush again. The pump was that weak. We can’t live with this. Demanded a refund and checked out the next morning."
"Very bad value for money! Key cards for the rooms often don’t work, was because of that locked out of my room at night and had to sleep in one of the common rooms two times. Also the Wifi is extremely bad. The kitchen is good but for a hostel that size there are not enough toilets and showers per floor which is why they get dirty quickly. My room was basically ok, but the bed linen was dirty and no Wifi. It is still by far not the worst hostel I stayed in but for this price I expect it to be much better. Location is probably the best thing about his hostel. Wouldn’t stay again."
