This hostel is amazing! I stayed in a 4-bed female dorm and I was so impressed when I walked into the room: it was like a mini hotel. Spacious room with two lovely big windows (and a fantastic view... of New World) so the room is nice and light. Clean towel and a little bottle of shampoo/shower gel included on... More

The location was great, the kitchen large and well-equipped, the staff was friendly, and it fulfills what one expected of an hostel perfectly. I didn't mind the thin walls, the small room, or any other inconvenience that came with budget accommodation. But fleas! That was unacceptable. My mom and I went to bed fully dressed and still were bitten all... More

I stayed in a girl dorm room for 5 nights. The hostel is clean and very well located, but it's huge and not that homely like. It looks kind of like a hospital and people don't mix and don't talk to each other. The kitchen is good but always busy. I would stay here again because cleanliness is a BIG... More

This hostel is huge, and it lacks a bit of atmosphere, it's a bit impersonal.. But everything else was okay!! Everything looks new and modern! They have an elevator! The dorm was perfect, spacious, clean and very good beds! A bit dark though.. The laundry room was also perfect! There were not so many toilets and showers on our floor,... More

If you are looking to meet people, this is not the place. It's a great location and always clean with a big kitchen but lacks the ambiance that you are looking for in a hostel. I stayed because of the free wifi if you are a member but that is said to stop soon. I really did not like that... More

Firstly, the location is perfect. Off the main noisy area of Courtney Place, but still just a 3minute walk away. Opposite a supermarket with the best deli section. Right by the beach, Te Papa, bowling, great restaurants (+BYOs!!). The reception was friendly and professional, with helpful storage areas and posters explaining things to do. The common areas were great, with... More

My wife and I (ages 61 and 59) stayed two nights at the YHA in an en suite room with a double bed and found it entirely comfortable and a good value, especially given the downtown location in a national capital. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and quiet if small and spare, and it was... More

I stayed at the YHA Wellington for only two nights and had a great experience. The location is great - across the street from a grocery store, close to the city, walking distance to the Te Papa Museum and close to loads of great restaurants. The staff was so helpful and friendly and helped me with reservations and planning events.... More
