The location is superb , right in the heart of Wellington CBD and close to a lot of tourist attractions but the building itself in general needs renovation. The service at reception is excellent (polite, friendly, professional). Highly recommended for one/two nights stay, especially at an affordable price like it was $40 per night compared to other overvalued accommodations. Happy with my journey to Wellington!

Good mix between a hostel and a hotel. I thought the building’s age was charming. Very close to the ferry port, government buildings and the stadium.

Very decent and perfect for the quick stop! Check in and check out were a bit slow and we did a bit of running around at the end trying to check out as we were not told we would be charged if we didn’t hand our keycards back (we left them in the room). Other than that, the place was perfect and cosy! Very comfy beds!

Good location, next to the Wellington Railway Station. With many restaurant nearby. Big room, a little bit cold but good privacy. Shower is good and comfortable.

Great location. Outdated rooms, but the price reflects it. For shared double rooms got 3 big bedrooms and a single toilet. Was quite inconvenient in the morning.

Place was very different from pictures. Quite run down and old. The tv was a perk. For a very budget stay it’s okay :’)

Great value for money if you have to catch a train early in the morning.the train station is just one street across. Also close to many restaurants and beautiful sea shore.
