I had a great stay at this hostel in Wellington! The location is perfect, just a short walk to all the main sights and very close to Cuba Street, with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The hostel itself was spotless, and I really appreciated the free towel provided.
The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, with thoughtful extras like free coffee, tea, oil and herbs for cooking, which made preparing meals much easier. The dorms were spacious and the beds where very comfortable.
What really stood out were the little touches: free yoga sessions and cozy lounges that made it easy to unwind and meet other travelers. Overall, a welcoming, clean and comfortable place to stay in the heart of Wellington. Highly recommend!

This was the best hostel I've ever stayed at. The rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and shared spaces were all very clean. The beds had curtains so I felt like I was in my own private room. I'd definitely stay here again.

The average price seems to be around $42.
It's $10 more expensive than other hostels, but it's definitely worth the price.
You can get various discount coupons for cable cars, breweries, brewpubs, and more. I didn't use them, but they also seem to offer free bike rentals.
There are various activities every day of the week, so it seems like a great place to meet people.

The interior design of the hotel is very good, and the rooms are naturally lit during the day. The people in the hotel are very nice and greet each other when they meet. It is a great experience

I'm very satisfied! If I have the opportunity to visit Wellington again, I'd definitely stay here again!
The kitchen, dormitory, living room, and lounge were all very user-friendly, making for a comfortable stay!
The kitchen offered free unlimited milk and dairy. You could also use as much oil, salt, pepper, and spices as you wanted. There was also a lot of free food left by previous guests, which was very helpful!❣️
Yoga was held every day at 9:00 and 4:00 PM, there were running events, and art workshops, so it seemed like it would be easy to make new friends! (There were many long-term guests, so it seemed like people were chatting frequently.)
The staff were also very helpful, explaining things to me and carrying my heavy luggage to my room.🙏🏻
A Japanese person living in New Zealand whom I met during my stay also said this was the best hostel in Wellington, so I highly recommend it!💫

The hotel is located in the center of Wellington, close to Cuba Street. There are many restaurants, shops and supermarkets, as well as a midnight dessert bar. The room is comfortable and warm, and the staff will be enthusiastic to provide assistance. Recommended.

It's very close to Cuba Street, so it's great for sightseeing. It is a good idea to bring a lock for the drawer under the bed and the locker where you can store your luggage before check-in and after check-out. You can drink coffee and cocoa for free. It was nice to have pancakes and dinner parties on the weekends.

The environment is very good, it is in a prosperous area, it is very convenient to eat and buy things, and it is not far to walk to the scenic spots you want to visit. The room is very quiet, and the layout of the bed is also good. The walls are solid inside, which increases the width of the bed and makes it convenient to put things. The only thing I feel is lacking is that the hooks in the shower room on the second floor are gone and have not been repaired. It is inconvenient to hang clothes in the shower. In addition, shampoo and shower gel are not provided.

While looking for a pretty accommodation, I ended up at marion hostel🤭 I highly recommend this accommodation :) It's right next to Cubby Street and it's located in the center of the city, making it a great location for moving around and sightseeing~! And the accommodation was clean, but there was a lot of smell from the cotton sofas in the lounges on each floor, so I passed on that~ haha. I stayed on the top floor, but there was a window on the roof, so I stayed in a bunk bed, and I was able to see the sky while I rested, which was great :-) And the rooftop is also a work of art. I also liked the sofa right in front of the rooftop!

I had some trouble at my destination, but the manager was kind and helpful. I was worried that it would be noisy outside at night.
