Book online. Stayed for 2 nights in a 4 bed dorm. Service was really good. Was allowed to check in to room at 9am as bed was available. Room was clean with good view of harbour. So it was really value for money. From airport, took the Airport Bus for $8.50 and stop at Courtenay Place where it takes 5... More

This very large Back-Packer / Hostel is very close to the huge Te Papa Museum and has good kitchen facilities and a large dining room. The drop-off & pick-up area is very tight (esp. when it’s raining) and parking is a challenge if you’re driving plus the electronic keys malfunctioned so we got off to a shaky start. And, the...

This is a nice, clean hostel in a good location with plenty of kitchen and dining space. Computer room, clean shared bathrooms, quiet floors. Near a grocery store and the museum. All in all, a well-run and clean hostel. More

This is a YHA hostel that really hits the mark. It's in a great location, right by Courtany Place, where you can get a bus to pretty well anywhere in Wellington and there is a large grocery store across the street. The hostel is huge but it does not feel institutional as some YHAs do. There are two kitchens so... More

This is one of the best YHA's in New Zealand. Be sure to pay the "extra" $2-$5 for a FOUR (4) share room...then you will end up with a VIEW room of the bay & city, on one of the TOP floors. More

Stayed here for 3 nights in late March 2012, in a 4 bed female-only dorm. Very nice for a large city hostel, one of the best I've stayed at in New Zealand. Great view of the harbour and literally across the street from a massive New World. The kitchen is absolutely massive and had everything you needed. Great lounge areas.... More

Stayed here for three nights in a double room with the shared bathrooms. Would probably look for a different hostel, but if you enjoy the YHA atmosphere this is an alright spot. Pros - Well equipped rooms, ours had a desk which is sometimes rare in Hostels. - Good location, immediately across the street from a grocery store and right... More
