Stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. It was pretty cheap compared to the accommodations in the area. We got a room with two twin beds and our private shower. There's a shared kitchen and a common area to relax in. What we didn't like was being a hostel, you see all kinds of things. We saw throw up on the elevator floor at night. Despite that, the noise was minimal. Parking: bad, you have to pay a hefty price and it is a 5 minute walk read more

It's not nearly as nice as the places outside of big cities we stayed in, but this made sense for a city hotel/hostel. The outside is impressive, but the inside is pretty dingy and run-down. The room contained 2 bunked beds and a desk. There were 3 inner doors off a shared little atrium area with a door from the main hall. The doors went to 2 guest rooms and a shared bathroom with an impressive freestanding bathtub. You need a key to get into the building at night. It's nice there's security, although it didn't seem hard to tailgate in. The "free wifi" only means an hour, but it was per device, so it was sufficient. There's an elevator, although it's ancient. There are lockers for storing bags, and it was maybe $4-6 NZD to store bags for several hours. The place is completely unimpressive, but it gets 3 stars because of the location, which is very convenient: it's right across the street from the Bluebridge Ferry terminal, and right down the street from all of the government buildings. It's maybe a 20-30-minute walk to Te Papa. It's very walkable to places to eat. There was a decent amount of metered street parking around and available. read more

This hotel/hostel is a decent place for people who are travelling by train into Wellington and are looking for low cost accommodations. The main train station. (Wellington terminal) is across the street from this hotel so it is convenient if you are arriving into Wellington by train. The first night I was in the 20 bed dorm for only night and found the room to be very crowded but the bed was comfortable and I slept well (so no complaints). I switched to a single room with a shared bathroom for the last 2 nights and I liked that a lot better. It was small, clean room with a tv and it was quiet and I slept well so I was definitely satisfied with it. The hotel is no frills and I was looking for a place to sleep that I could afford so it fit the bill for me. If you are looking for luxury and something more modern this probably not ideal for you. I liked the retro art deco design although for some might feel it is outdated and worn. Customer service at the front desk was overall pretty good. There are 2 computers in the common area which were free to use and they had internet access (they slow but functional). A bar and small cafe that serves food downstairs and fast food restaurants are very nearby. A good place for those on a budget and want a place by the train station and not interested in frills. read more
