Un hostel dans lequel on se sent vraiment bien, comme dans une grande coloc ! C'était en plus très propre et bien équipé !

I really loved my stay here. The bed was really comfy but the room wasn't spacious. The kitchen and bathroom was really clean and the hostel had a nice atmosphere. The host was super friendly and even offered me the big bottom bed when I didn't get it at the Check-in because I was staying longer than the other guests. Would definitly come again.

En general, es cómodo y las instalaciones son adecuadas. Martin fue maravilloso y fue una fuente de información. Sin embargo, son principalmente los huéspedes a largo plazo, lo que también han dicho las revisiones anteriores

They were very communicative, and we had no problems checking in (even though our ferry got in late and we didn’t arrive until after 1am). My friends and I booked 3 beds in a 6-bed mixed dorms, but we were given a 3-bed dorm to ourselves which was a nice surprise. The shower was great, the bathrooms were clean, there was easy street parking near by. No complaints here.

I stayed at a place for three days, and overall it was great for the price. The bed was all good. it was like a bunk bed, so the person below me moved a bit, but it was fine. There was a fully equipped kitchen, a table for eating, and a nice shared space where I could hang out with the other guests. there were coaches, so we could watch a movie together. I really liked the location; it was super close to the main street, and I even walked around at night, like 10 p.m. on a friday.

Reallly just a spectacular hostel with tons of character, authenticity, comfy, and homey. Some cool sayings on the walls and stuff too. Highly suggested

A lot of long termers so that made it a little less social for newcomers sometimes, but in the end I had a great time! Best/cleanest bathrooms I’ve had so far.

Nous ne sommes finalement restés que quelques heures car notre ferry a été avancé, mais nous avons pu bien nous reposer. Les douches sont un peu petites et peu pratiques, le lit est confortable en chambre double. L'auberge est sur les hauteurs de Christchurch : ça grimpe !

I really appreciate what this hostel is trying to do, but it was not for me, and I’m going to explain why! Firstly, when I arrived I was happy to have been given the code and my key left for me inside. However, once I arrived in the room, I noticed it had a smell, and there was no room for my things. There were some longer term stays in there, and they used up all of the space. The bathrooms are nice, and cleaned daily which is great. The front door was often left open by people staying.

I really liked this hostel. Location wasn't the best for parking but also the paymypark app was down while I visited so that might've just been a me problem. The hostel though was great, Wendy was an absolute peach. She takes good care of her guests and her hostel and it shows. A lot of longer term guests stay here as well and they agreed. If I had more time in wellington I would've stayed here longer.

Sehr schönes, sauberes und gemütliches Hostel. Wolfühlatmosphäre garantiert! Die Lage ist ebenfalls sehr gut und die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Ich wünschte mir manchmal, im Zimmer etwas mehr Platz/Stauraum für das Gepäck zu haben. Auch hatten die oberen Betten keine kleine Ablagemöglichkeit.

I loved my stay there despite facilities were too « simple » for me. No shampoo/soap in the bathrooms. No curtains/plugs in beds… BUT the common areas were great ! Meeting people at Worlwide is so easy and I met a lot of friends there !
