Good value.
Very good value.
James, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel quality double room, with all the amenities including microwave and coffee. In a beautiful art deco building. But note most guests are staying in their dorm rooms. So the common areas including kitchen and lounge are at backpacker level rather than hotel level. Pleasant staff helpful no issues.

Lovely place with friendly staff and clean private rooms.
Taylor, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to the Wellington Station for bus and train, close to the waterfront. It was an easy walk to the waterfront and the city and attractions, and there were plenty of eating/food choices nearby. It had all the facilities we needed for an overnight stay.
Danae, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is an old hotel in a location that is fantastically central to train and ferry. Despite the building being very tired, the bed was comfortable, sheets and towels, cup and kettle fresh and tidy. The receptionist was personable and pleasant. The luggage lockers are a real bonus.
Sue, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Budget friendly for a reason
Location cannot be beat...nextto train station and ferry to South Island. But proximity is noisy, and building/rooms are old. Excellent coffee place around corner.

Liam, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

There’s a reason why the price is so low
The place was musty and smelled of mildew; it did not feel clean. The towels they provided were stained. A pane in the window was cracked and makes the room very cold and drafty at night.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property is quirky and interesting although very old and in need of renovation. Bathroom small and cramped but clean. Location close to parliament convenient and also bus to airport. Staff helpful and responsive. Luggage stored ahead of checking in. Dealt promptly with unruly patron.
