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.

We stayed here for a weekend, and it was the only place available due to the rugby being on. At first, we were a bit reluctant since it’s a hostel, but we were pleasantly surprised! We had a twin room with a view and an ensuite, and it turned out to be warm, cozy, and very comfortable. The room had everything we needed — clean towels, a TV, and even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. There was also WiFi and cooking facilities available, which was super handy. The best part was the location — it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was within walking distance: great restaurants and cafes nearby, and New World was right across the road. Overall, Haka House exceeded our expectations and was a great base for the weekend.

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...

Great location. Though on my first night I noticed no-one was in the bottom bunk underneath me so I asked at reception if I could swap beds (it was a 2 bed room). She told me that there were no other bottom beds available so I assumed that someone would be checking in to my room either the same night or next night. When I checked out 2 days later there had still not been anyone in the room so I’m unsure why they couldn’t accommodate the switch. Also there was only 2 showers available for a whole floor of rooms

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.

Enjoyed our stay at Haka House. Close to the waterfront & main shopping/entertainment area. Supermarket across the road & secure overnight parking at Te Papa. Staff super friendly. Will definitely stay again. Thank you 😁

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.
