The room was clean and comfortable and the location made it easy to walk to tourist locations, take busses and go on tours.

I had a wonderful visit in Wellington. Haka House was easy to get to from the airport. And the surrounding area had a lot of food options. It is conveniently located to all the sights, made walking to them accessible without having to catch a bus or call an Uber. I love it that the staff were all very friendly. I had a great experience and have already recommended Haka House to a friend who plans to visit Auckland.

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.

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.

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

2-night trip

Sleeping In A Oven! The upside was that the place was quite clean. The room was unbelievably hot, like 40 oC hot. No AC. No Fan. Nothing to move any air. We tried to put a chair in the door and open the window, but you can imagine how great that was for sleeping.

1-night trip
