Hostels in Wellington Region, New Zealand

Hotel location is very good, in the center of Wellington, the parking lot is on the upper floor, to go up a steep slope, parking fee 15 NZ / day. The interior decoration is a bit antique and has a sense of history. The downside is that I arrived at the hotel on Christmas Eve, and the front desk was closed (should be at 7 pm), saying that I sent an email to me, but I didn't find it in fact. Still the cleaning guy, contacted me, opened the key box, and got the key.

The location is quite convenient, there are many restaurants around the building, especially many Chinese restaurants. The transportation is also quite convenient, the overall environment is quite clean, and the facilities are quite complete.

The location and room type were fantastic! Being right next to the train station and ferry was so convenient, and I loved being able to walk along the beach. However, the room had a very unpleasant, damp odor—almost like old carpet or pet accidents. It didn’t feel clean at all, and I actually had to buy my own room spray to make it bearable. Great spot, but the room hygiene needs urgent attention.

Especially good, the boss is also good, gave a lot of help. The hotel is clean and strategically located. At the door are KFC and McDonald's, as well as large supermarkets. Very convenient.

I'm very satisfied! If I have the opportunity to visit Wellington again, I'd definitely stay here again! The kitchen, dormitory, living room, and lounge were all very user-friendly, making for a comfortable stay! The kitchen offered free unlimited milk and dairy. You could also use as much oil, salt, pepper, and spices as you wanted. There was also a lot of free food left by previous guests, which was very helpful!❣️ Yoga was held every day at 9:00 and 4:00 PM, there were running events, and art workshops, so it seemed like it would be easy to make new friends! (There were many long-term guests, so it seemed like people were chatting frequently.) The staff were also very helpful, explaining things to me and carrying my heavy luggage to my room.🙏🏻 A Japanese person living in New Zealand whom I met during my stay also said this was the best hostel in Wellington, so I highly recommend it!💫

perfect for solo travellers & located in the center of the city. to get to my room, I did have to open 10 doors just to go back to my room from the entrance. kitchen is well eqquiped & the toilet was always clean!

Had a great stay here! The backpacker hostel was clean, comfortable, and had a really friendly atmosphere. Staff were helpful and the location was convenient for exploring the area. Met lots of awesome travelers during my stay. Would definitely recommend for budget travelers!

A nice clean big room which I would’ve enjoyed more if the room didn’t smell like wet dog. I didmt complain or ask for a different room. So my bad. I was only there for 1 night. And I bought an air freshener from the shop. It didn’t help sadly. Or having the windows open or the fan on. The room had potential otherwise. The bed was comfy, the shower was great. There was a little kitchenette also. It was just a shame it smelled bad.

The reservation was for Lower Hart, but the hotel location is some distance from Lower Hart. The sanitation is slightly worse, the quilt is darker, and it feels unwashed.

We absolutely loved our stay (15/04/2026 – 17/04/2026)! It started with such a warm, helpful welcome at reception and only got better from there. The rooms are huge and fully equipped—having a kitchen was a total lifesaver since we prefer home-cooked meals over eating out. Thank you for a wonderful experience; we highly recommend it.
