Fantastic value for money for someone looking for a simple overnight stay in the central city, even outside of the backpacking context. A safe carpark building directly behind the building and awesome Wellington coffee right next sure to that. Will be back!

Room was in good condition. Staff fine. But I found the place rather noisey at night. Also, in the bathroom - no soap/shower gel in the shower!

Classic backpacker but actually quite quiet. Double room clean and comfy, bathroom good, interesting building features add to the cool factor. Surprisingly welcoming for a couple of "oldies"

Adequate. Good comfortable bed. Bit run down but clean enough and very affordable. Nice staircase. Surprisingly quiet. Quirky. Ancient plumbing sounds amusing. Decent budget option.

It was fine. It was easy after check in…staff could maybe be a little more ‘aware’ or ‘sympathetic’ but this is minor.

Central location close to transport from the airport and the venue I was attending. A good budget option with all the facilities I needed.
