Great hostel in the centre of the city.
Quick electronic check in/out. Short walk to everything. Excellent kitchen facilities. I stayed in a private room (shared bathroom) which was a decent size and very comfortable. The bed, pillows and sheets felt high end. I would definitely stay again.

The facilities were modern and nice, but the toilet paper was constantly out, and overall, the cleanliness was very poor.

Great Hostel
Great accommodation in a brilliant location. Clean and very modern.
The only problem is the walls are paper thin. We had an issue with a noisy guest. Chris from reception
came up immediately and dealt with the problem.
We enjoyed our stay.

I just needed a place that was central city for one night. The room was wonderful, the locaation was perfect and the cost was fantastic. Even with so many people and rooms it was actually very quiet when i was in my room.

I’ve stayed at other Haka Houses and this one didn’t match up to my previous experiences. To be fair, they have a significantly larger facility with a lot of guests but the overall cleanliness and friendliness of staff was lower than previous experiences.

I had a great time! I stayed 4 days in the 4 bedroom dorm. The hostel is right by CBD and everything is walkable and there’s a big bus station near bye. Heaps of cafés, restaurants, bars etc.
the hostel is clean and u have everything u need. Amazing staff who’s always helpful friendly. I highly recommend staying here.
The room had a comfy bed who has a shelf with outlets (also usb) and a locker near bye where u can fit a sport bag also has 2 outlets. But u need to bring ur own padlock. Quiet hours are between 10pm-7am and it was quiet at night. ✨ parking is free in front of the building between 8pm-8am after fees apply also watch out to not park at the bus stop before 8pm. Parking app is helpful (PayMyPark) because it tells u exactly if ur allowed to park or not.
