The hostel is huge and very well run. We stayed in a double room, it was comfortable and clean. We had some noise from the pub across the road though. There are two kitchens, lots of common areas (lecture room, video room, etc). The location is very good, very close to Te Papa museum, and there is a bus stop... more

A gem of a hostel in the centre of Wellington. I stayed 6 nights in a 4 bed dorm with en-suite and loved it. Great facilities, very clean and comfortable. Good location for exploring town and just off Courtney Place. Very helpful staff and couldn't have asked for more. more

My husband & I stayed here for three nights in one of the ensuite rooms with 2 twin beds. We were there near the end of October, and I was really glad that the heaters still worked, as I had picked up a nasty cold from some other hostels on the north island that had little to no heat, and... more

The best hostel I've ever stayed! Thumbs up on the friendly staff, cleanliness and facilities. Close to Te Papa, Oriental bay and Courtenay place, the city's heart of entertainment. Highly recommended. more

This hostel is amazing. I don't ussually stay in hostels these days but was forced to as wellingotn was very busy and this place was better than I could have ever imagined- clean, tidy, super friendly staff. I would strongly reccomend it! more

An increbible hostel. Perfect location, looks like a hotel entrance, rooms are imaculate, the living areas are huge, two well equpiped kitchens, 2 great big dinning areas, 2 TV rooms and sofas dotted all over the place. I cant recommend this place enough. more

The YHA in wellington city is well sited (central and very close to a good supermarket), and it's pretty clean and comfortable if a little austere in the bedrooms. We stayed in a deluxe room with a bathroom. All in all it was okay, but there are much better deals in Wellington. Lots of the last minute deals for hotels... more

A previous reviewer seems to have had a very bad time here but I am not sure why - this was a great hostel, one of the best we stayed at in New Zealand. We had no problems with cleanliness and the staff were all fantastic. There was lots of room and plenty of places to sit and relax as... more
