We had a balcony overlooking the Habor where we had lovely NZ wine and a bite to eat as the sun set. What could be better.!

Great hostel! Bathrooms & kitchen were cleaned regularly, kitchen well-stocked and includes sandwich press, helpful staff, good value drinks in the bar downstairs. Other residents were friendly, well-behaved and not noisy. Bunk mattresses were thin but acceptably comfortable. Beds include large lockers underneath. Showers were always clean and vacant despite only being three (male) showers on the level. Good location in Wellington centre. All up a good choice of hostel.

The location was in the perfect area. The bar that was attached to the hostel was always a good time. I would stay here again the next time I come back to Wellington.

Turns out Wednesday is a clubbing night on Courtney Place which is not what I was expecting. Stay further from party central if you have an early flight the next day. The all girl's 'sanctuary' floor is a fun idea. I appreciated that trashy gossip mags in the hallway. Made for a good read just before bed.

If you want to party in the base bar and meet people, it's perfect. If you want a comfy bunk and a bit of space between bumks othen not so much. I have stayed here before so I know what to expect and it meets it's target market well, young, tour bus type.

Hi there After receiving your feedback I looked into what room you stayed in and had a pest controller investigate for any signs on bed bugs. I can confirm there were no traces of bed bugs in the room you stayed in. I hope the rest of your travels in NZ are enjoyable
