67%Lodge in the City

Very basic and a some parts in need of some attention but for the price of a single room it is a pretty good deal - and the sheets are clean which is the most important thing!

The bar didnt open when I was there which is a bit down but overall it is a good place to rest yourself in.

It's ok, but not very nice. If you only need a place to sleep it's

The bar was never open late enough which is when it would be cool to socialise with the other occupants of the hostel because sitting around in the tv room everyone was quiet and it was too boring.

Although this did have a really good location it was dirty, no character, dark and i would not recomend this especially to girls on their own.

Quite a distance from the coach/train terminal but excellent location for Te Papa and the seafront. Basic but nice room, communal bathroom facilities but separate facilities available as well. Very large kitchen. Bar area on ground floor but not noisy in room.

The facilities here are sound but there is no atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend it for travellers wanting to meet people because most of the guests are older and a bit strange!

Staff are excellent, facilities are great and the rates for singles and twins are pretty good.The bar is never open. The hostel needs to be rid of it's drunks, pervs,and weirdos. Generally get rid of the residents...they are all weirdos!I didn't have fun and the interaction wasn't that great either.This was the general concensus of other backpackers that stayed there too.close

This place was crap - luckily I only paid for two of my four nights booked and I found somewhere else immediately after seeing the place. Run-down, dingy, scruffy, smelly, shitty bathrooms, rough floors, yuk! Don't stay here!

Run-down, dingy, scruffy, smelly, shitty bathrooms, rough floors, yuk! Don't stay here! The website is very misleading - I had done a lot of research into where to stay in Wellington and this place somehow made it past my usually reliable vetting process. Staff seemed dazed and not helpful. Bar downstairs never open and very dodgy anyway. Avoid.close
