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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

First time in a hostel and it was a great experience. They allowed us to check in early since our flight was a morning one. Convenient to venue we went to and all the local eatery spots. I would’ve given it a 5 stars if they had ac in the room. For a small fee of $4 you can also store your luggage in a room till your flight. Definitely would recommend people stay there.
