Nice location but bad accomodation

It’s a worn down hostel, and since it is a part of the Haka Hostel chain, where I have stayed at other locations, I was surpriced at the low standard. The staff is very serviceminded and friendly, but that doesn’t outwieght the small and badly ventilated rooms.

The hostel is so central in Paihia it makes walking around to the many eating and shopping locations easy. We were in room 11 which was at the end of the hallway and did not get a lot of AC and the window didn't open. The small TV which is steictly facing one of the beds and cant rotate, also doesnt have cable or casting abilities. There was a DVD player so we grabbed a couole movies from the lounge just to find out the DVD player was broken so we ended up watching a movie on a laptop. I had messaged, emailed, and done the online check in to say I was going to be arriving late and still got a bit of sass from the staff when I called looking for check in instructions. The email with the info came through an hour after we checked in. Otherwise, it was average at best, but you get what you pay for!

Beware! Bed Bugs!!

BEWARE! BEDBUGS! More concerning lack of accountability! No accountability or support at all. Oh yes…No staff on premise or stationed on property after 9pm… so I had to spend the night in the common area lounge that night due to infestation nevertheless. Seasoned traveler here (visited over 75 countries) and after reporting being bite by bedbugs in the room (with provided proof of photos of bites and stained blood sheets after killing on the bugs) managed refuses to accept any responsibility and claims they “were” mosquitoes bites! It was 15Degrees at night and I didn’t even open the bedroom windows?? And how to explain all the bites on the legs and areas of my body covered under the blankets… or would “mosquitoes “ get to me there too ?? Furthermore, we all well know and recognise bed bug biting patterns that was evident in the photos provided. Stay stay clear away! Imagine. Did or will they even fumigate /look into this seriously?? Decide for yourself… Worst experience ever!

Didn’t want to leave…

Haka House is a fantastic hostel, I can’t imagine there’s a better option for a stay in Paihia, especially on a budget. Great location, spectacular views from dining and main area. Excellent service with terrific front desk support, Byron deserves a raise. I highly recommend this place, and will stay here again if the opportunity brings me back.

Pros: Mostly clean, very quiet (I was there during winter), friendly staff, good location, large lounge area, strong wifi. Cons: Very loud cooling system in private room; bitten by insects/bugs overnight; clutter (unneeded fans) in private room; uncomfortable pillows; sheets feel old and stained; odd cleanup rules in kitchen (everything has to be hand dried and put away right away, so you're essentially using the same set of crockery/flatware as others throughout the day). I slept very badly and had to check out two nights early.

Great place to stay. A calm and clean place. Only thing I can think to complain about is the shower pressure. One time it was fine, then the next time it was barely a dribble, despite no one else using the showers at the same time. Otherwise was a perfect stay.
