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.

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.

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.
