Haka House Wellington

I have stayed here over one month. Great place to stay no matter you choose bunk bed or twin room. Stuff is always helpful and kind to guests. Kitchen and bathroom are always clean and tidy. People who choose to live here are also polite and nice. Most of guests respect the quiet time. Definitely will come back if I need. If there are more female room would be better for me.

All in all I had a good stay here. I thought the bedrooms and bathroom were good with good sized lockers for your bags. The 2 kitchens are great with plenty of space to cook. The place is massive with a supermarket right across the road. A few basic things could've been improved upon like a kettle in the kitchen instead of boiling water on the stove. Music in the common areas would've given it a lift and upon arrival at 6.35 PM I had to faff around with a lock box to get in, with the reception empty with the lights turned off, which isn't the best first impression. I will be back...

We had a great stay. Very welcoming on arrival, clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed and close to everything we wanted. Parking overnight at Te Papa cost $24 and was only 5 minutes walk away. Highly recommend.

Honestly was not expecting a hostel to be this good. Came on a school trip for a few nights and it’s in a great location, only being a few minutes (walking) from Te Papa and the waterfront, also convenient having New World across the road. Beds are nice, have curtains and a reading light. Thank you for the stay.

The shared dorms were the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness with the roommates. Location was an easy walk to the CBD and close to a main bus stop which made seeing the city very accessible. I noticed the 'quiet hour' times was not overly enforced and often heard other guest causing significant disruption around 12:30am while others were trying to sleep. However, I understand this is the actions of the guest and not Haka House directly.

Excellent location and friendly, helpful staff. We chose a private room which turned out to be on the top floor with the marvelous view of the bay. The room was Spartan but clean and definitely acceptable. Everything you need was there Including two beds and a private bath. Laundry and many other amenities on site, and the staff was very accommodating with every request. The New World grocery directly across the street has everything you could possibly need. Tons of restaurants and bars nearby, and I highly suggest hitting the nearby coffee shop known as Squirrel for breakfast or light lunch. This is my first experience staying at a Haka House, and I would definitely stay at one again.

We have stayed here many times in the past when it was the YHA. Happy to say Haka House has kept the best things about the old YHA: good price, clean, friendly and well organised. Kitchens spotless, games room for the kids. Would recommend it.

Staff really nice and helpful. Kitchen is above average. Other guests at the time were mostly big groups or teams but allgood if just need a place to sleep. Can’t speak for the other rooms but the the 8bed dorm is a shitshow. Nice bed frames and curtains but incredibly small, hot and stuffy. Not sure if slept or just passed out. I’d expect a lil more considering what you’re paying. Went to the Marion afterwards which was same price and 10x better! (+free pancakes on weekends)
