The hostel has nice clean and very private toilets and showers, but the kitchen suffers from a lack of cooking equipment, made worse by some residents being incapable of washign up

Nice room with enuite bathroom that looked like we should have been paying more for it (although I think we might have been upgraded). The staff were happy for us to leave our bags there for the day after checkout.

This is more a hotel and was quite nice. It let itself down however as the nightbell was broken so we had to wait ages for someone to let us in. The tea and coffee facilities in the room were nice but there was only 1 mug and all the milk was off/

Really good location in the cool part of town close to the waterfront, Te Papa and trendy bars in Courtney/Cuba St. Very clean and tidy with staff always on hand and very helpful. The other guests seem the more educated traveller but very fun and friendly.
