Self service check-in was quick and straightforward. Room was clean and tidy, hotel in a good location, within easy walk for most amenities.

Hostel, does the job
Kyle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Up front, I want to be clear that this is a hostel. We were pleased with a very clean room with comfortable bed. We hit a snag with check in that the late staff dealt with that night. Their response, and the follow up with us the following, goes a long way to the positivity of our stay.
Colin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Helpful staff and a good location
Aunouska, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We recently stayed at Haka House for two nights to attend the World of Wearable Art Show in Wellington. We were able to catch the Airport Express Bus to the Courteney Place stop, then walk to Haka House. There are a lot of restaurants nearby and it is only a couple of blocks away from the waterfront, which is a perfect way to explore the city. It is also almost directly across the road from a large New World Supermarket for supplies.

Efficient staff service, accessible to a lot of shops.

It was easy to find, very handy to ask amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were of a good standard
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location! So close to food/transport/attractions. Room was incredibly compact but had an amazing view over the fire station. Main grumble is the app didn't work as an alternative to a key card and that was the only reason I downloaded it.

Location was perfect. Although our door was super squeeky!!! Everytime you opened the door it was quite loud and 😑 annoying. Told reception but no maintenance avail???

Douglas, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place had character. It was a bit further on the edge than others but convenient to the bus stop if you are tired of walking, right along the water & with a grocery store right nearby.

Haka House Wellington - our whanau, 3 tamariki and mama have had the best stay. Our accommodation was perfect for us. Situated in a great location for our needs.

We stayed in a private family room at Haka House during the Cuba Dupa Street Festival. It was clean, comfortable and relatively quiet.

Kevin, 2-night trip

Excellent proximity to CBD and good value hotel/hostel. Big kitchen / dining areas, reception people were helpful, lifts work well. Room was well prepared. Shared toilet / bathroom areas seemed to get messy during the day; despite being cleaned earlier on.
