Ich hatte leider ein Zimmer was Eiskalt war und ich die ganze Nacht gefroren habe. Aber die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

mostly really good, great location, nice people, only issue was the shower in my room was a bit inconsistent but it was nice to have a toilet just for our room

I stayed here nine years ago and I love what they have done to place. One late afternoon the fire alarm went off, I was chilling outside and it seemed really unorganized and no worker was on site. One guy seemed to then proceeded to tell the workers what to do. As a Kiwi myself I went in and had to tell people that it’s a fire alarm leave the building. There was no explanation- I recommended having no smoking/vaping signs around as some countries it’s okay to do so inside

Really good hostel, staff were pretty much always around and cleaning/sorting bits out! Always friendly to help sort things out or answer questions. Had really good vibe. Only downside was shower pressure but everything else was perfect so didn’t mind too much.

This place was amazing!! Felt like we were at a five star hotel. Cleanliness was Paramount. We stayed in a private room that had its own bath. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided as well as towels, hair, dryer, hot water, kettle, and coffee cups in the room. Wish we had stayed more than the one night because it was an amazing lodge.

As everywhere in Haka there isn't a great atmosphere. The bathrooms & kitchen were pretty nice. The beds are good as well. 🙂

Overall a good hostel and a convenient location. However, I was a bit disappointed by the check-in experience. I arrived early with the InterCity bus and asked if I could leave my backpack until check-in later the same day. I was told this was possible, but only for an additional NZD 5 fee. While not a large amount, it felt unwelcoming as a paying guest, as luggage storage before check-in is usually complimentary in most hostels. Apart from that the stay was fine.
