YHA Wellington City Reviews

Typical big hostel nothing to offer would not stay here long but from what I hear best option in wellington

I felt I paid to much for what we got and the lack of lockers in my dorm made me feel nervous about leaving my stuff behind in the room. The location is also not that close to town especially as I had stayed at Nomad's the weekend before for cheaper and with the main shopping area pretty much outside. Dinner was also provided at Nomad's whereas the YHA didn't as far as I could tell.

Great Place!!! Conveniently located would definitely recommend this place to anyone!!!

Great to be able to check in at 8am! Much appreciated

Likes: Staff , lots of options what to do, many cool people, large common areas, supermarket across the street. Dislikes: The linen did not look clean. Lockers cost money.

YHA > Base...always. Especially in Welly.

Great place to stay so central to the City. Friendly staff always willing to give you time and any explanations you may require

It's sweet as !

Excellent stay. Foam mattress in room 617 was a bit squishy and in need of replacing. Everything else was just right. Good value for money.

Good, clean hostel.

The staff were very friendly and it was an enjoyable stay. Only problem is the water pressure in my room was very poor. It was like bathing under a water hose.

Friendly staff and quite clean, due to excellent city location a little noisy (street noise, depending on which way the room faces). The room (double, in our case) was very small, not much space to put anything if you arrive with more than a toothbrush. WiFi reception is poor in some rooms and throttled to 100kBs

The bed is not clean, tissues left over from last person. Table in the room is not tidy and clean too, there are some green mould in the cup which gave really bad impression. Other than that, service is good! :)

Very average hostel, but too big for character or a feeling of cousiness. Decent prices

Well a more or less typical YHA, which always seem pretty commercialised in my opinion. Staff was helpful enough, location within walking distance dowtown and to plenty of restaurants. Kitchen could have been cleaner, room and bathroom was good. Internet 5$/24h. Parking 7.5$/24h, 10 min away.

Kitchen was closed when it should have been open. Not much personality. The other two people in my room checked in at 3 am which I think shouldn't have been allowed in a room that was full of other people. You can't store your luggage and have to pay for lockers. Not impressed

Well organised hostel, bright and airy in rooms, one all electric kitchin is a bit sloooow on the cooking front. We enjoyed our stay.

we both were very happy thanks

I always stay in thi hostel because it is so central, close to shops, restaurants and entertainment. The staff is very friendly. The only problem I had when I stayed recently was the bed linen, which did not look very clean. I even thought it has not been changed. The prices of this hostel are comparable with motel prices; so there is no excuse for the bed linen being in such a poor state.

This was one of the nicest hostels in which I've stayed. I booked a female four-bed dorm and ended up sharing with only one other lovely lady. The room was clean and comfortable, with a private bathroom and a crazy view of the harbour. The YHA location is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
