Fantastic, friendly and helpful reception staff. For $53 per night for a single room you can't beat that. The interior wasn't modern, but for the prices people are paying, it Dident concern me the slightest bit. Very cheap wifi. Location is close to the main streets and close to convenience stores and bus stops.

me and my friend had to stay at lodge in the city as we didnt book anywhere in wellington in advance, which was our fault but yeah. this hostel had bad reviews and i knew it wouldnt be amazing, i generally base my reviews of hostels on beds, bathrooms and kitchens and service Service i would actually give 10 as...

It was not as bad as you would expect for $15 per night. Me and my friend had a clean room and the kitchen was not too crowded. They had a lot of big clean american fridges which were really new. I also liked the big TV in the public area and the reception was always friendly and helpful. All... More

The condition of the lodge is better than the picture they posted. The facade got renovated, we slept at a triple room (bunk bed), the bed was comfort and we have a good sleep all night. How ever, the bathrooms are old and need renovation. Our windows are facing the open yard with guys below drinking virtually all night, a... More

I dunno why all others saying crap. Well, when i stayed there it was nice. Not too crowed. Everyone was so friendly. Good staff. I think when its full house we cant expect a backpackers fully clean and tidy. I have been in many backpackers all over the world which is worst, cant say this is worse. I liked this... More

I take it this place is owned by Indians as there seemed to be one rule for everyone & another for Indian males. For instance, Indian males were allowed to use the female only bathroom. Why? I assume they were friends of the owner or Indian management team? Indian males kept me awake half the night partying in the room... More

Unfortunately we had to stay here as it was the only place available due to the worl premiere of the hobbitt! The room was an old bathroom converted in to a 4 bed dorm, complete with tiles still on the wall and holes for the taps! As hostels go it was probably one of the dirtiest we've seen with the... More

The other reviews are right, it's not the cleanest, it is big, it is a bit rundown and some of the big dorms on the ground floor are loud and annoying. But I've lived there for almost a year, most of the time on an amazingly cheap single room. The people are great, there's always someone to talk to and... More
