Fantastic value for money for someone looking for a simple overnight stay in the central city, even outside of the backpacking context. A safe carpark building directly behind the building and awesome Wellington coffee right next sure to that. Will be back!

The hostel was wonderful. Clean, friendly, and the beds were super comfortable. There is considerable construction happening in the neighborhood so drove around for almost an hour to find parking and an entrance, used an affordable parking garage just behind.
