| My first impressions of this backpackers was good, although it was the most expensive dorm room I have stayed in. It did however offer clean accommodation and ensuites with each room.
The biggest downer was the meal offered at the bar, we upgraded from the “free” meal to a full size and it was possibly the worst meal I have ever been served! Cold plan pasta with mixed vege, we ordered "chicken" pasta salad, I think there was only one tiny (5c piece size) bit in each meal. I would like to know the budget on the meals offered, for $4 I could have bought a nice burger somewhere. When we told the barman how rubbish it was, he simply replied with "you are lucky you weren't here last night, the meal looked like vomit". Clearly these guys need to sort out the meals, just because we are backpackers doesn't mean we want rubbish meals!!!! I don’t think I would use this as a marketing ploy for a “flashpackers”!!!!! |

| The worst hostel I have ever stayed in.
Because of the over-booking I could not stay in the room as I booked.
Taking over 10min to check in, but there was no explanation about over-booking.
First day, I stayed in a downgraded room. I claimed about it and stayed in upgraded room on the second day, then charged extra.
I also claimed about it but the accommodation just said 'We often have over-booking, but nobody has claimed about it'.
I have got no apology about all the inconvenience by over-booking. |

| This hotel was in an excellent location in Wellington. A short walk to the railway station, information centre and national museum. It was a brilliant base from which to explore the city. The only downfall was late night traffic noise and unfortunaetly there was roadwork's at night when I stayed. |

| Great room, but the noise in the night somewhat lets you know you're still in a building with dorm rooms |

| Ideal location for Rugby Sevens-but didn't get told how to access electric and TV in room- also ,found other peoples' rubbish under bed when packing to go. Great experience for non backpacking 'Oldies' |

| The location is central, but there's busy traffic and a disco-bar owned and heavily promoted by the hotel right next to it. This meant shouting people on the street and late-night music thumping through the building. This is clearly a place for young, single party-people that like this sort of stuff close by. The bedroom for 2 people with a small double bed was filled up with 3 extra beds which left little room to move around. |
