Haka House was a fantastic place to stay. I was there for 10 days and enjoyed every day. The staff are incredible, especially Andreas, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend Haka House, and will definitely stay there again when visiting Wellington again.
Great to have laundry facilities on site. I went across to the grocery store to buy detergeny rather than paying $3 each time from the vending machine.
The staff here are really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble.
Room had everything I needed for my three night stay. Thank you.
Property very central in Wtn city. Beautiful modern place. Very clean, confortable beds. Everything very convenient. Great friendly staff. Kitchen well equipped. Filtered water. Will definitely stay again.
excellent experience. clean and comfortable room. the only negative from me is the showers need a good clean.
( l read the same comments from others so took particular notice and the cleaner had checked his box but not actually done the Mahi)
The location is very convenient, close to shops, restaurants and popular visiting places. The staff are very friendly and the room is clean and quiet all day long.
Very good location, (near CBD, transportation hubs, bookshops, theatres, museums, entertainment, gastronomy, markets), fair pricing, clean, tidy and has a friendly staff. I only had an issue that the room was inferior to booking and due to other bookings I had no choice other than stay there for 1 of 2 nights.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Nice to stay of you re after a backpackers with nice hotel like rooms.(not fancy)
Great staff, clean room and comfy beds, and well-equipped kitchen. And a supermarket is across the street. Only negatives were spotty WiFi and our room faced a busy street and a fire station.
Clean room and bathrooms, entire space smells clean but low allergen/no smell of commercial cleaning products- ideal for me.
I was next to a very squeaky door to a dorm which for some reason the staff couldn’t seem to address, so I oiled it myself and fixed it. I’d definitely recommend this place for good accommodation.
The location was very convenient! It was quite noisy at night even with windows are closed but expected for its location. The room was clean with all expected amenities listed. Easy to walk around to near by restaurants and bars. There is paid parking near the front of the building during the day which is free overnights but no parking on the premises. We did enjoy our stay here overall!
Enjoyed my stay, super clean hostel, made conversation with a few other hostel goers, two large kitchens, warm showers with good pressure, all extra amenties provided (small cost, no drama).
Would stay here again if visiting Wellington,
