Young and fit.
Great place for young and fit travellers. I would not recommend for families, the no ensuite bathroom was manageable for 2 nights. It was great for what it is. Took me back to my younger YHA days.
We had a good stay at this accommodation. the basic amenities were provided. The location was convenient and made getting around relatively easy.

It's located on very steep street.
Bathroom and bedroom was clean. Window hinge was broken and I couldn't close window properly and cold air was coming in. My room was located by the door to go down stairs, so it was noisy.
But very handy location and fit for my purpose.
Comfortable stay, good location. Interesting peopl
A very comfortable hostel, situated very close to waterfront downtown Wellington. Very good staff, knowledgeable and nice. Had a private room, very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
Incredibly helpful and genuine staff who were always happy to help - very knowledgeable about the area and always on hand to answer questions.
Nice schedule of events each evening (which isnt for me but was again very welcome and i can really see how some guests would really appreciate it.
Slight disparity of kitchen facilities available when comparing ground floor to others. Cant be helped though - i imagine things get moved all the time.
All in all, a great stay for the price for which you do get more than you pay for in terms of assistance and a nice communal hub
Staff are great, very helpful with any query.
Showers - amazing
Even though they aren't dragons at all, everyone was very respectful re: noise at night.
Good supply of kitchen basics (sugar, coffee, tea, flour and pans and utensils)
