The place had character. It was a bit further on the edge than others but convenient to the bus stop if you are tired of walking, right along the water & with a grocery store right nearby.

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.

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.

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.

The facilities were modern and nice, but the toilet paper was constantly out, and overall, the cleanliness was very poor.

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.

I just needed a place that was central city for one night. The room was wonderful, the locaation was perfect and the cost was fantastic. Even with so many people and rooms it was actually very quiet when i was in my room.
