Excellent proximity to CBD and good value hotel/hostel. Big kitchen / dining areas, reception people were helpful, lifts work well. Room was well prepared. Shared toilet / bathroom areas seemed to get messy during the day; despite being cleaned earlier on.

Great stay for family with young kids. Public transport to and from everything/everywhere 100m away. Harbour view from family room great with bonus of fire station across the street. 2 bunk beds for kids had curtains both sides for each bunk which gave kids their own "huts" and enabled grandparents to retire later in same room.

Great location + very walkable to all the sights.

I had a wonderful visit in Wellington. Haka House was easy to get to from the airport. And the surrounding area had a lot of food options. It is conveniently located to all the sights, made walking to them accessible without having to catch a bus or call an Uber. I love it that the staff were all very friendly. I had a great experience and have already recommended Haka House to a friend who plans to visit Auckland.

Great hostel in the centre of the city.

Quick electronic check in/out. Short walk to everything. Excellent kitchen facilities. I stayed in a private room (shared bathroom) which was a decent size and very comfortable. The bed, pillows and sheets felt high end. I would definitely stay again.

Sleeping In A Oven! The upside was that the place was quite clean. The room was unbelievably hot, like 40 oC hot. No AC. No Fan. Nothing to move any air. We tried to put a chair in the door and open the window, but you can imagine how great that was for sleeping.
