Liked: Location, location, location; otherwise, it is a rather grungy, old-style hostel that has not kept up with the newer standards on YHI hostels. We stayed there twice.

Disliked: left no negative feedback.

Tyson Ibele

01 February 2007 Tyson would recommend this property

Liked: Clean, friendly and the staff were very helpful. I would use this hostel again, although it was a tad pricey compared to some other ones. That was made up for the fact that it's located right in the middle of downtown Wellington though, so it allowed for easy access to all places.

Disliked: Tyson left no negative feedback.
